Ep 310: “The Cell” (2000)


Listen Later

We baptize Jennifer Lopez’s “The Cell” and discuss:

  • Cinematography, realizing dream states;
  • Story & Writing, metaphors, redeeming broken people;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.
  • The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover. – Jean Piaget

    Notes & References:

    • The opening sequence was shot in the Namibia desert. Edward’s valley with the trees is in Dead Vlei, Hardap, Namibia; the shipwreck is the “Eduard Bohlen Shipwreck” and is about 80 miles away along the Skeleton Coast. So with a helicopter you could definitely get those shots on the same day, and perhaps with a vehicle if the route is traversable.

    Some links about schizophrenia worth perusing:
    Schizophrenia causes (NSH.uk) – “80% of people with schizophrenia do not have relatives with the condition. Schizophrenia likely results from a confluence of factors, some of which are only beginning to be understood.”
    Schizophrenia’s Strongest Known Genetic Risk Deconstructed (NIH.gov) – “schizophrenia is known to be as much as 90 percent heritable, yet discovering how specific genes work to confer risk has proven elusive, until now”
