Book excerpt: A sequel to the author's earlier work Plato and Popcorn: A Philosopher's Guide to 75 Thought-Provoking Movies, this book presents analyses of 95 movies from the Americas and 20 other countries. Each entry includes a brief introduction to the film along with a list of philosophical questions to ponder after viewing it. Most entries also include a list of additional recommended films. The films cover a wide range of genres and topics--from the haunting tale of doomed Polish freedom fighters in Kanal's World War II Warsaw to the romantic and passionate story of rekindled love in Australia's Innocence.
