Woody Allen's "Love and Death" & Spinoza
Daar Woody Allan in deze komische film uit 1975 als kind ingewijd wordt in Spinoza en daar in de satirische dialogen over liefde en dood op de achtergrond telkens Spinoza meeklinkt, móest deze film in dit blog een keer aandacht krijgen.
“How I got into this predicament I'll never know. Absolutely incredible. To be executed for a crime I never committed. Of course, isn't all mankind in the same boat? Isn't all mankind ultimately executed for a crime it never committed? The difference is that all men go eventually, but I go six o'clock tomorrow morning. I was supposed to go at five o'clock but I have a smart lawyer. Got leniency.”
[De korte scene inwijding in Spinoza's Ethica vanaf 4:33]- Every action has a cause. The universe exists, therefore it has a cause.
It follows God created the universe, therefore He exists.
- And yet Spinoza didn’t believe in the Holy Trinity.
- Spinoza was a Jew.
- What's a Jew?
- You never saw a Jew?
- Here. I have some sketches.
- There are Jews.
- No kidding.
- They all have these horns?
- No, this is the Russian Jew.
The German Jew has these stripes.
