So... why DOES man create?


The most unique movie we watched was Why Man Creates? it was a kind of documentary esque video about the reasons for creation. The First segment we saw was a cartoon and it showed how man has been creating and solving problems since the beginning of time. It was interesting to see all the inventions and ideas that came through time. Another one of the segments we watched that I thought was interesting was the one where the artist put up his sculpture and all the people were criticizing it and how those bad reviews were shooting him. I thought that was a really interesting way to portray the idea that the artist depends on recognition from the public to survive. The last segment that I thought was cute was the bouncy ball that didn't meet the standards and was thrown out of the factory for bouncing too high. Then he made a life for himself as an individual and bounced into the sky forever. I think this was trying to show how sometimes when there is something new it might be rejected at first but if you perservere you never know how it will turn out in the end and eventually it may take off. The video as a whole was really neat to watch. It was a good unique way to look at some of those concepts.
