By the way, does anyone know how this movie could've possibly been pitched? "I want Sam Waterston, an actress with an almost novelty sounding accent, and the dad from Home Alone to walk around a location which is incredibly expensive to film at with no conflict or compelling character development whatsoever."

In summary, do not see Mindwalk. And if you see a person mouthing off about it as being "challenging" and "only for the intellectual moviegoer", please do me a favor and hit them with some kind of blunt instrument until some semblence of sense is beaten back into their simple minds.

This movie isn't out to entertain, it's out to educate, inspire, and enlighten.

Your attitude speaks volumes. That's all I have to say. Oh that and it's people like you who pigeon hole the purpose for film and thus hinder it's possible progress. And since you've pretty much concluded to me that you have nothing further to add on the content of this film it's probably useless to continue this correspondence. It's really a shame, I'd think of the movies I've seen this would generate the most constructive dialogue and or debate. Long live the open minded.

I first saw Mindwalk 7 years ago and being in high school, had a bit of trouble following everything. But as I got older and advanced in my capacity to endure twisting and complex arguments, I saw the movie again and loved it. It is definitely true that this movie IS different than normal movies, yet it is not really that new... in fact, it's perhaps the oldest form of story telling -- the classical philosophic dialogue. The earliest writings from ancient greece are always in the form of some kind of dialogue which are always a kind of "mind walk".

As for the dialogue of this message board, I think it could be made into a movie as well... a movie pitting the intellectual verse the anti-intellectual. A movie like that might have a scene like the following: intellect: "Is it not interesting to note the seemingly contrary effect that the emergence of a global network has really only produced a deluge of ignorant memetic transmission? The hope that a limitless amount and ease of communication would naturally engender a global society to begin to embrace the differences in ideas, culture and expression has ultimately proven to be a false one. In fact, there seems to exist a state of contradiction: the very tools which give us the ability for ultimate diversity have instead led us to a state of universal conformism!"
