Welcome to the blog!

Greetings!

I am starting a new blog that unites my love of film and of philosophy. Films often present philosophical themes or questions, sometimes explicitly (Christopher Nolan's Batman films use actual philosophical dilemmas or thought experiments) or implicitly (Citizen Kane is, to me, clearly about the search for happiness). I'd like to explore those more, especially in more challenging films, such as There Will Be Blood. P.T. Anderson's epic is bursting at the seams with ideas that are not fully obvious in one viewing. So all sorts of topics will be discussed in this blog. I hope you enjoy it!
