It took a whale free-falling 50,000 feet above sea level, experiencing acceleration-due-to-gravity while asking “what is my purpose in life?” to prod me to write again. The picture you have in mind may be zany. That's exactly the word to describe the movie from which the scene of the philosophizing falling whale came from.
It's not a Charlie Kaufman or a Cameron Crowe film. In fact I don't know who that brilliant-bordering-to-schizophrenic screenwriter is. If you happen to pass by Video City, you might want to check out “Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.”
In this flick, a narcissistic president whose demeanor is a cross between that of a rock star and an intergalactic monarch, governs the entire universe. It also features a super computer whose answer to the “ultimate question” is a numerical value-42. When asked by the galaxies's population to expound on the answer, the computer rationalizes that they did not give an exact definition for the “ultimate question”, hence it gave some sort of a numerical estimate. If you don't get it, so do I!
An eerie book entitled “Where God Went Wrong” was also fleetingly mentioned in the story.
All those oddities entered the picture when Vogons-eight-hundred-pound monsters with an IQ of an eight-year-old kid-annihilated planet earth to pave way for the construction of a transportation system that makes use of cutting edge quantum physics. Wheeew!
Deep!!!!
Wait a minute. This flick really is a comedy more than anything else. Despite being a sci-fi movie with tremendous philosophical undertone, it's fraught with silly comedy in every scene.
If you're having a hard time imagining how this film really is like, just go check it out for your self. Hold on tight to your sanity though, because this movie's humor might snatch it right at the get-go.
it a good movie, though not every one would appreciate it's semi-brit-humor. hmmm makes me wanna watch it again haha
