Week5 Internet Short Film -1

This short film is directed by Herbert Midgley, who is said to be a short film internet legend.
His story is about a whirl wind romance, whereby the character Katy finds it hard to find love. By chance, she meets her ‘dream guy’ and falls instantly in love.

However, it is not to be, as Jess (the dream guy) has an affair.

Katy is heartbroken. This is where she turns to her philosophy college professor. He offers her peace with German philosopher's Arthur Schopenhauer theory about 'The Will of Life'.

After watching the short film, I decided to look up Arthur Schopenhauer. He was an amazing man, who wrote numerous essays on love, sex and reproduction. A huge intellectual in his time. I read his biography which is available on: http://www.egs.edu/resources/schopenhauer.html
