Film (pronounced fill-um) is as much an artform as it is a business. It was originally developed as a means to display naked people "getting it on" and distributing it to the masses. Films are more commonly known as Brainwashing Sessions (pronounced Ber-rainwashing Sessions). This name came about from the Baze'd faces people get after watching films.
Movies have baffled psychologists as it was found in a study conducted by the government that the majority of movie goers remain expressionless when watching the loss of life, limb, heartbreak, hatred and racism. Moreover it was found that people were often willing to pay money to see such movies, as well as buy food to enjoy themselves while watching it. To this day psychologists still do not fully understand why human beings enjoy watching such movies. Perhaps it is the thought of paying a lot of money to the movies, sitting with stupid noisy people crunching their popcorn, while getting your eyes and ear bombarded by huge screen and noise. Yes, we love movies.. (See more...)
Existentialism is a philosophical movement that involves searching for "meaning" within existence. In essence, it's trying to find meaning in a meaningless society and the artificial patterns and constructs which form our lives. Existentialism tends to view individuals as subjects in an indifferent context, often in an ambiguous and absurd reality in which meaning isn't provided by the natural order. Rather, meaning is derived from an individual's actions and interpretations, such as whether a person steals a jetski or not. Through this, a person's subjectivity is greatly valued much higher than his objectivity.
Within the 1997 movie Speed 2: Cruise Control, there are certain times where a certain scene or action, is interpreted quite differently by all of us. There are many layers to peel back to gain an understanding of the themes inherent within the movie. Primarily the film serves as a commentary on the speed of modern living, the pervasiveness of driving really, really fast in today's society, and how everybody wants to reach their destination as quickly as possible.

Timothy William "Tim" Burton (born August 25, 1958) is an American film director and producer most known for creating several dark and quirky themed films such as Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Festivus. He mostly makes films with a personal circle of friends (Danny Elfman, Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter), only casting other actors outside this circle when extremely necessary, and only in minor, unimportant roles.
Though he is known for directing more unusual types of films, he has also directed mainstream films such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice In Wonderland, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Recently some detractors have criticized Burton for "pandering to the bourgeoisie," due to the ever increasing normality of his films. However much his works may seem to be drifting into the mundane, he is still by far the all-time strangest director to most average movie-goers; although relatively bland compared to Lars von Trier.
