Where do you find elements of one other thinker’s philosophy/ideas of the Ultimate?

May 24, 2021

Christopher R. Teeple

I’m working on a religion writing question and need support to help me learn.For the final paper you will be identifying and analyzing evidence of Tillich’s philosophy and that of one other thinker we’ve discussed this semester within one of the films listed below.

Provide a brief synopsis of the film you’ve chosen including the general storyline, major themes, conflicts, and characters involved. Keep in mind this paper is meant to be an analysis of the film as it relates to Paul Tillich’s thought rather than a general plot summation or film review. In what ways does this film illustrate specific elements of Tillich’s thought? (True faith? Idolatrous faith? Courage? Neurosis?

Existential estrangement? Anxiety of nonbeing? Responses to that anxiety? In what ways are the dynamics of being and nonbeing shown to be at play?) Where do you find elements of one other thinker’s philosophy/ideas of the Ultimate? Meaning? Is there a resonance between the protagonist of the film and those of The Stranger or Nausea? Perhaps an instance of an I-Thou encounter? A celebration of impermanence a la Zarathustra?

Choose one and put their thoughts into conversation with that of Tillich. What visual/auditory/narrative devices are being employed to symbolically represent these ideas? Beyond the narrative arc of the film, be sure to also reflect on how key scenes, character development, elements of cinematography (lighting, shot composition, perspective), sound, and set design contribute to the visual expression and exploration of the human condition, the search for ultimacy, and responses to a crisis of meaning. *
