    I liked it, but I didn't LOVE it. I mentioned 8 out of 10.

    It is loaded with Nietzsche. Hell, it is an internal struggle with the will to power
    Everyone has an internal struggle with the will to power.

    As for the movie, I think it pointed out the flaw of the will to power, rather than its brilliance.



    Here’s Wolfenstein’s take on the will to power.



    "...the drive to overcome pain in order to experience pleasure, as well as to experience the pleasure of overcoming pain, is a primary feature of healthy human function, as is seeking out situations that provide the opportunity for such experiences. In these instances, the will to power is aligned with the life-drive and is fundamentally creative…. When,however, the level of pain begins to exceed one’s capacity for taking pleasure in overcoming it, the death-drive comes forcefully into play… [The will to power] becomes destructive and nihilistic, and it can give rise to envy and ressentiment (Inside/Outside Nietzsche)."


    The movie more-so touched base with this view point, rather than strictly Nietzsche.

    • This weekend I watched part of the movie A day without a mexican. It was strange. The strangest part of the movie was the big plot twist part, after which I had to leave... If you're going to watch the movie and want to be suprised or something, don't read the rest of this post. Ok so apparently the big twist is that the last Mexican left in California is actually an Armenian from Armenia. I wish I could have seen the rest of the movie to see where they were going with that thought. I guess I'll have to rent it at some point... Anyone else see this movie? What little I did see was pretty mediocre, but whatever it was free and I was bored.

        etc. etc.
        This is all well and good. I know what it is about. I never said it affirmed or supported the idea of the will to power; I suggested that it was about it. Even Nietzsche himself would not claim brilliance for the will to power now.

        • A Day Without a Mexican shouldn't be shown in Los Angeles. It just makes no sense!

          • Three Men And A Baby. I love that movie. I've seen it a couple of times already, and I don't seem to get tired of it.

            • I saw TROY!!!! I cant stop screaming of how gorgeous BRAD PITT looked in that movie, which had the title as TROY but nothing to relate with Iliad. The movie was about the beauty of Brad Pitt as a 40 year old blonde GOD. IT's really worth for girls who like Brad Pitt to waste 10 bucks. Because is two hours of Brad Pitt dose. People who ever hasnt seen it, dont see it if u dont like Pitt, because the movie $ucked, but Brad Rocked.

                  • Recently saw "Supersize Me." Everyone should see that movie. Very well done, highly entertaining and very educational, although I did feel that it was slightly exaggerated. If you are a fast food lover, I would suggest for you to think twice about it and definitely watch the movie.

                    • Who knows Almodovar? If u know him and u love his movies watch "Talk to her". OHH God, he is genius. He is so not americanized. He is just Pedro Almodovar.
