    STEP 3: POST-VIEWING

    A. HIGHLIGHT THE THINGS THAT YOU LISTED IN THE PRE-VIEWING ACTIVITY THAT WERE CONFIRMED
    BY YOUR VIEWING OF THE MOVIE; THE 3 CONCEPTS/IDEAS AND 3 PEOPLE.

    3. PHILOSOPHERS CRITIQUING AN EXAGGERATED BELIEF IN SCIENCE.

    B. WHAT IS THE MAIN MESSAGE OF THE MOVIE?

     THE CENTRAL MESSAGE OF THE MOVIE IS THAT OVER-RELIANCE ON SCIENCE, KNOWN AS


    SCIENTISM, BRINGS ABOUT PHILOSOPHICAL AND SOCIETAL CHALLENGES. IT HIGHLIGHTS C.S.
    LEWIS'S CRITICISM OF SCIENTISM AS BEING TOO NARROW AND CALLS FOR A MORE
    COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD.

    C. CONSIDER THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MOVIE IN CONVEYING ITS MESSAGE. AS A COMMUNICATION


    TOOL, WHAT ARE ITS STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES?

     STRENGTHS: THE FILM OFFERS A BALANCED VIEW OF THE SCIENTISM DEBATE WITH INSIGHTS
    FROM MULTIPLE SCHOLARS. IT COMBINES HISTORICAL FOOTAGE AND INTERVIEWS TO
    ENCOURAGE CRITICAL THINKING.

     WEAKNESSES: THE FILM'S PACE MAY BE SLOW, AND SOME MIGHT FIND IT TOO ACADEMICALLY
    INTENSE, WHICH COULD LIMIT ITS APPEAL TO A BROADER AUDIENCE.

    D. DOES THIS MOVIE APPEAL TO REASON OR EMOTION? HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL?

     THE MOVIE PRIMARILY APPEALS TO YOUR INTELLECT BY PRESENTING WELL-REASONED


    ARGUMENTS AND LOGICAL ANALYSES. IT STIMULATES CURIOSITY AND ENCOURAGES DEEP
    THINKING RATHER THAN PROVOKING STRONG EMOTIONS.

    E. LIST 2 THINGS THIS MOVIE TELLS YOU ABOUT LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES AT THE TIME IT WAS
    CREATED.

     THE FILM ISN'T CONNECTED TO THE PHILIPPINES, SO IT DOESN'T PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION
    ABOUT LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES AT THE TIME.

    F. WRITE A QUESTION TO THE FILMMAKER THAT IS LEFT UNANSWERED BY THE MOVIE.

     ONE QUESTION THE FILM DOESN'T ANSWER IS WHETHER THERE HAVE BEEN RECENT EFFORTS
    TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY TO ADDRESS CONCERNS ABOUT
    SCIENTISM.

    G. WHAT UNIQUE INFORMATION DOES THE MOVIE OFFER THAT YOU WOULDN'T FIND IN A WRITTEN
    SOURCE? UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T ACCESS A SPECIFIC REFERENCE FOR THIS FILM AS IT WASN'T
    PROVIDED. HOWEVER, THE DOCUMENTARY PROVIDES A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE THROUGH INTERVIEWS
    AND VISUALS, MAKING THE TOPIC MORE ENGAGING AND PERSONAL.
