Building a globalized mindset through film?

Well, that may seem like some wishful thinking if not an altogether naïve concept and futile undertaking to begin with. But for all you who feel like, probably, they share this same dream that there is some sense and meaning in any such juxtaposition of globalization (any profound understanding of it) with the workings of film (its inherent power to affect and, yes, educate) let me give you the following: you might either have a look at my previous posts under the label “ymagon”, please, or likewise try out any of these films and decide on the issue for yourselves:

• Ruang rak noi nid mahasan/Last Life in the Universe (Pen-Ek Ratanaruang, Thailand/Japan (2003))
• Babel (Alejandro González Iñárritu, USA/Mexico (2006))
• Hwajangshil eodieyo?/Public Toilet (Fruit Chan, South Korea/Hong Kong/Japan (2002))
  

So what do you think? Let me know by sending in comments or emails!
