Title: Just take the walk. Ignore the pretention.
Review: You've heard of vanity press. Well this is a vanity film. Fritjof Capra fresh off of the success of his books, The Tao of Physics and the The Turning Point decided to make a film and his brother obliged him. The result is a pretentious mess if you don't go along for the walk and listen. I first saw this movie because Russ Ackoff the noted management guru recommended it. But even Russ felt he had to apologize for the pretentiousness of the film. When you go for the walk, you are presented with general systems theory which is probably one of the best things you could learn. It helps you understand the interrelationships of your subject rather than just memorizing words. It is called general systems because it applies to everything. Has anything useful come out of the study of systems? Yes, you are using it right now. It's called the internet. So take the walk and listen and learn.
