so long and thanks for all the fish

i ve seen the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, it was one of the few movies that worthed to see, in this year. it was not superb nor i did like it very much. but it was amusing and childishly free minded. i d liked vanilla sky and millions for the same reason. somewhere in the movie where they travel over the world, that sense of universal values of aesthetics flashed in my mind. i think, i ve even supported that view with some ideas developed at that minute. since the language of maths is universal ( e.g. we -earth residents- have sent some messages to far away places in universe hoping that they would be heard and understood in the last decades, using a mathematical experssion method ), the things like proportions and symetry are universally defined ( most probably) and since under physical laws created things will have such properties any where in universe, and because the aesthetics judgements are (not only but mostly) based on those facts, we might be sharing the same aesthetic tastes with other intelligent life forms. I know that even among cultures on earth there are signicificant differences but there is no culture disregarding the beauty of the nature and such things at that fundamental level.

yusuf atilgan 'aylak adam'da sine ma sonrasi insanlarindan soz eder, sinema sonrasi ilk bes dakika duyulan/yasanan yasam parcasi: imgeler, sozler, goruntuler,gerceklik...bence bir de o an var evrensel doganin guzelliginin takdiri yaninda...insanligin butunu olarak hangi siklilikla duyuyoruz bunlari, orasi biraz problemli...

hayir cine-arts degil felsefe...ama after all they are all just 'names'
