Last night I went to the Goethe Institute of Salvador for a documentary evening.
Two movies were presented:
Das Rad - The Wheel
The Age of Stupid
"Das Rad" is a fun 9-minute animation film. It shows the importance of the wheel with the perspective of...a stone! And at the same time that time has the power to destroy everything, also the biggest and more powerful human creations...
"The Age of Stupid" in a interesting film, showing a man in 2055 looking back at the past and wondering in a slightly desperate way how mankind could be so stupid to destroy itsself. A sort of suidice of the stupid, not of the ignorant, as we know exactly what are the problems to face. But maybe it is not too late yet...
Altogether, it was a very good evening in a confortable room. Pity that there were only 5 people and no space for discussion after the movies...
