The Story: Two coworkers have a conversation about the philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

Production Notes: The script for this short was written in August of 2002. We had just completed “The Last Patrol” and “The Quotient of all Anxieties” and we were ready for a new project. We were inspired to make a gangster flick after watching Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Andrew came up with the idea of two gangsters sitting at a table talking about philosophy while a third man, their hostage, sat tied to a chair next to them. We thought this was a great opening scene for what could be a really cool gangster film. We even had a name for it, “The Black Tie Affair.” However we were never able to get it off the ground and we ditched the script. Nearly a year later we decided to resurrect the idea and give it a new angle. Just as a side note: what Ezekiel says in this movie does not necessarily reflect our religious beliefs, we just like hate mail.

Cast and Crew:
Andrew Isaac as Ezekiel
Jared Marshall as Samuel

    [..YouTube..] Wow, this is really terrible.Highest point in Denmark: Møllehøj 171 mSo much for mountains. How the Hell did this crappy thing get an IMDb listing? If this is a student film, the bad acting and character interaction is forgivable, but the desperate attempt to sound intelligent is not.

    Moreover, the reason people find his “teachings” completely absurd is because moral standards are ingrained in our brains from youth until it dominates our consciousness. But luckily, nothing can alter man’s unconscious will, which is what Nietzsche became so enthralled with. Which is why it’s not really necessary to read his works, because they just reflect you in your true form.

    [..YouTube..] They make an interesting summary of Nietzsche’s work but I don’t think it reflects the exact perception Nietzsche had about his own work. For one, I wouldn’t consider him pessimistic about man’s outlook, if anything, he acknowledged that life would continue “evolving” to become stronger and stronger, perpetually overcoming the limitations of their environment.

    Good video, but i don’t think there such things as essential readings when it comes to philosophy; interesting as Hobbes is. By the way, why do Americans always call him “Nee-chee”?

    Nietzsche wasn’t an ‘existentialist’, if your going to talk out of your ass, at least get your facts straight. O, and dip-shits, he wasn’t a ‘pessimist’ either. If you at least read a smidgen of his philosophy you would know that his works very optimistic and an antithesis to the pessimist philosopher Schopenhauer who he found fault with.In short, Columbine kids should never read works that require some intellect to decipher.

    basically, most of what you have said about this touurmented man Nietzche is wrong. he believed that man could overcome nihilism (and religion is also nihilistic according to him) So come on! don’t blatently twist what he was saying
