Year: 2009Plot: A young couple, in love and facing a life-changing decision, find one seemingly ordinary July 4th cleaved in two by the flip of a coin on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Show Notes: In this podcast, Guy Finley talks about the often misunderstood idea of faith, and how we can come to the true, bold understanding that we are made for everything that happens to us. Highlights: It is sometimes confusing when a person hears the idea of having faith in the divine because the mind that hears the idea is still a divided mind. This is why it is often so challenging to talk about such ideas. As the mind sees it, there is "me" and something outside of myself that I am going to have faith in. To have faith in what is true does not mean that you do not fully experience what you are going through. A parent knows that his or her child must go through certain natural and necessary experiences in order introduce the child to his or her own character. The parent knows that these experiences, though often not easy, are productive. The child does not know the parent's understanding... yet. Real faith is understanding that you are both child and parent, even when you are still just a child. You may have these worries, anxieties, and fears, but you understand that these states serve a purpose that is greater than the part of you that is resisting them. Faith is understanding that eventually you will see the good in these moments that you are currently afraid of, so that you can meet such moments with the awareness of the inherent possibilities, instead of being punished by resistance to the moment. Then the Good that already "is" has a chance to work on the fear that doesn't believe in anything other than itself. You can download this podcast here. Visit our Web site to see all past podcasts.

Uncertainty, regulation and precaution To find out more about our work on knowledge societies, visit STEPS Centre - Knowledge Society

Whether as a fast-talking high schooler in a film noir (Brick) or a disfigured soldier in a big budget blockbuster (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra), Joseph Gordon-Levitt has proven himself to be one of the most talented young actors. His new movie, Uncertainty, takes the viewer on a journey into two different worlds, where a flip of a coin takes a young couple (Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins) into an innocuous visit to her family and decisions about their future and another takes them into a strange criminal underworld where everyone is after a cell phone they found in a cab. Directed by David Siegel and Scott McGehee, Uncertainty was filmed on the fly with hand-held cameras in S16m and HD as the couple race towards their different futures. In this interview, we discuss the freedom of improvising within a structured world, his favorite movies, and what he can't say about G.I. Joe sequels or Christopher Nolan's Inception. Cinematical: Can you discuss the beginning of the movie a bit? I was confused if it was symbolic or literal or what. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: What do you think was happening? Cinematical: Well, I went back and I watched it again and wasn't sure. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I don't want to be evasive or anything... You know, it's the kind of movie that's meant to stimulate a conversation or provoke your own creative thoughts about it, so I hesitate to say, "Well, what it means is blah blah blah." First of all, because it means something different to everybody. And second of all, I would never want anybody to say, "Well, I read an interview where the actor said that it means blah blah blah, so it means that and it doesn't mean anything else. 'Cause to me that's the beauty of movies, is that it can mean really whatever you want. The act of watching a movie, I think, is a creative act; it's not just input. All of us, as audience members, we're telling the story the way that we see it.Filed under: Action, Drama, Independent, New Releases, New in Theaters, InterviewsContinue reading Interview: Joseph Gordon-Levitt on 'Uncertainty', 'Inception' and His Favorite Movies Permalink | Email this | Comments
