Hey Felli, another victory for religious freedom

Too funny. I would love to be there if he had to show his license to our Deputies.. lol
That is the best news blurb I've read today. My wife was a couple of rooms away and wanted to know what was so funny.

Hey.

I finally watched Nostalgia for the Light. I enjoyed it.

I unexpectedly enjoyed the archeology of Chile. I didnt realize how abundant Chile was forbarcheology because of the unique weather.

I didnt like the relatives looking for their buried loved ones.

I think if they left it as a contrast between lifes origin in space and earth, it wouldve worked better, IMO.

Adding that tertiary element detracted from the film. That particular aspect couldve been its own documentary.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and to a certain extent agree, although there are few documentaries about places in South and Central America that are not politically motivated. I watched it with people who were more concerned with the political angle. We were discussing it afterwards and I tried to "cheer them up" a little by pointing out how aesthetically beautiful the film was with respect to connection between the Atacama Desert being paradise for both archaeologists (driest place on earth) and astronomers (thinness and clarity of sky), and that each had to reconstruct the past they were trying to understand in very different ways. The bones do serve as link to the origins of both our universe and life on earth.
