My favorite is the cut from the bone thrown up to the space ship in free fall early on in 2001 A Space Odyssey. the two things resemble one another and are both human tools...the first juxtaposed with the most recent and sophisticated (in 1968).

"For beauty is the beginning of terror we are still able to bear, and why we love it so is because it so serenely disdains to destroy us" Rilke's First Duino Elegy Daniel Shaw Professor of Philosophy and Film Lock Haven University Managing Editor, Film and Philosophy website: www.lhup.edu/dshaw ________________________________ * * Film-Philosophy Email Discussion Salon.
