AW: [alicebot-aiethics] German?

[Tamara Thompson]

Christian,

I haven't seen Das Boot in so many years.  Isn't it about how people behave in
a crisis situation?    Maybe that was a bit of foresight then, recommending it.

The Herzog film I recall is about a guy trying to bring opera to the jungle.
I forget the name of it now, oh! google reminded me: Fitzcarraldo.  But then
the filmmakers made a great documentary about making that film, and called it
"Burden of Dreams".  Astounding.

Herzog is referred to as a "great German visionary" in filmmaking.

Sorry, hard to concentrate.  Today's events are too hard to forget even for a
minute.  The depressing irony of today is that America may lose some of it's
freedoms as a result of the attack.  That we might turn on ourselves, and let
the terrorists win, by passing laws that degrade privacy and freedom.  Such a
young country, as someone said "losing it's innocence".

I really appreciate you telling me about your youth--that helped me understand
so much more than I knew.  Thank you.

Tamara
