 | Did you ever have a long, philosophical, intimate conversation with a person or a group of people that lasted for hours, and that was a totally life-affirming experience for you?
That is the premise of MindWalk, a movie that revolves around what happens when two old American friends, one a politician from America, and the other a poet living in France, reunite and go for a conversational walk at the island-abbey of Mont St. Michel in France. While there, they encounter a european female physicist who joins their clatch, and together the three of them passionately and thoroughly contemplate and analyze all manner of metaphysical issues.
While I do not agree with all of the philosophical premises in this movie, the level at which the characters communicate is like nothing else I've ever seen in recent film. Those leaning towards Objectivism may likely find this film refreshingly thought-provoking, if not totally agreeable.
