Dirt Movie
Dirt is a documentary film about, as the title suggests, dirt. It may seem funny to make a whole movie about dirt, but as the filmmakers show, the dirt we take for granted in the ground is the foundation of all life. The movie was based on a book that describes dirt as "the skin of the earth," which is one way of looking at this surface material. Like skin, the dirt breathes.

Dirt is not "dirty" in the sense that it is unclean. Rather, dirt is filled with energy and potency. People who have gardens are at least partly in tune with the nature of dirt as the building block of life. The dirt contains the nutrients that nourish

The film shows how dirt is practically alive, in that it is a hotbed of life in constant flux. Nitrogen and other nutrients permeate the soil, produced by the processes of decomposition.

Frankenstein-Movie Reading about cloning is very disturbing. Scientists should not try to play God. Messing with the natural cause of life can have unforeseen consequences. They should remember the classic novel by Mary Shelley "Frankenstein." Its premise also explores the theme of creating a living thing. Though Frankenstein is not about cloning, its theme is similar to the events related to cloning. This movie is not attempting to be a horror movie.
