"...The sort of existentialist themes I will focus on throughout the book are the ones that attempt to make clear the very issues that the movies discussed above are concerned with. Meaningful movies and existentialism share the same goal - to say something important about the human condition - but do so through two very different methods....While an appreciation and critique of existentialism constitute the main goals of this book, I sincerely hope that readers will appreciate the films discussed as well. Whenever possible, I strongly recommend that readers view the films under discussion prior to reading the chapter, though their content is discussed in sufficient detail that even those who have never viewed the film will be able to appreciate the discussion. Still, reading descriptions cannot fully substitute for seeing the movie, particularly when the visual elements play a strong role in conveying the film's meanings. To that end, a list of the films discussed in Part II can be found below. All films, as of the writing of this book, are in print and should be available at rental stores with hearty classics and foreign sections."...
