I have an assignment to review/respond to a movie or book in regards to its relations with metaphysics. but I mostly watch shitty stoner/blackguy/party movies cause that's what I'm into and I don't read much so I need something that would be really easy. I need to do a summary of 3 different movies/books then do like some big ass mind map thing and shit for one of them with a bunch of questions.

help me out and list off some short movies that would be easy to write a lot of shit about. I was thinkin about animal farm or something but I'm having a hard time with this

lol. The way you worded your post made it sound like you are calling yourself stupid.

But I really don't have any suggestions. Sorry.

"What the bleep do we know" is decent for new agey bullshit. Not sure exactly what you mean by metaphysics after you suggested Animal Farm though?

Wow, I didn't read the full OP. Yeah, I think you are a bit off with "animal Farm"

That should give you an idea of what it is.

I think the matrix would be a way better choice than fear and loathing. The whole movie questions how you define reality which is at the core of metaphysics. Not that you couldnt do Fear and loathing but its more about the weird drug shit than metaphysics...

there is nothing to completely understand, that's the idea of living in a dreamworld. accept both coincidence and randomness as a part of the same system that is controlled and manifested by us as observers existing as a single unit living continually in the present moment.

in other words, shit is way more crazy than science can prove to us right now and the similarities between the conception of a dream and the conception of the human experience are worth noting.
