Philosophy & Movies

1. I don't really think I'd say Binx has found his philosophy yet. His whole search is to figure out what there is to life. Can someone who doesn't know what they're looking for have a solid philosophy? Maybe that's a philosophy in itself, I just don't know what it's called. Binx is searching for something to search for, and that just might be his philosophy... what's life without a search?

2. Binx gets a sense of contentment out of going to the movies. He isn't content in his life. The movies though, clearly state a search, clearly state the journey, and clearly state (usually) how the search ended, if at all. It's probably easier for him to live in the intense joys and hardships of fake people than to face the mediocrity and ho-hum-ness of his own life. He enjoys the escape the movie gives, and the promise the people at the movies give.
