If there was a sentence to define film three, it could look something like this, science as reason, and reason as science. The film, to me, generated a definitive understanding and a translation to more mythical procedure, in some instances (i.e., “technology is alchemy without the superstition”) and a better overall and simplified understanding for those who don’t as well, or maybe at all.
I find this stuff really romantic in a sense. I love science and the blue-print for life that is mathematics. It is very interesting to the sometimes illusive casings explained to the layman, or those who just aren’t as finely adept as those mentioned or those working in the scientific fields. The film began and concluded with separate, but conceptually similar quotes by both, Feynman and Einstein respectively, as each of them stated a desire to scale physics and its inherent complexity down to a basic set of laws and explanation that everyone can comprehend.
