Title: "Everything Has Been Figured Out Except How To Live" ~ The Eventuality Of Death
Review: `Flight From Death - The Quest for Immortality' (`03) is a thought provoking journey into the most basic of all mans' fears, the fear of impending death. Using Ernst Becker's classic work `The Denial of Death' as a springboard, this documentary explores the ongoing research by a group of cultural anthropologist and their formulation of what they call, "Terror Management Theory."Overall I found this documentary to be intelligent, informative and at times emotional. Its one weakness in my estimation is its brief meandering into international politics and its convert sermonizing on the evil within. I sincerely doubt that our reaction to the events of 9/11 were based on our quest for immortality. Otherwise a worthwhile watch about a subject that we all must one day come to grips with.
