Comments
I attended the 7:30 showing of the film last night and really enjoyed it. Apart from its being beautifully filmed and well presented, I thought the issues and questions it raised were very important and thought provoking. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see the movie, and think that it will help me place several of the ideas presented in both my lecture and lab classes into context.
