The Epic Film about the Wolkowicz Family

by Ben Atlas on 02.16.2010.5:42pm · 0 comments

I weep easily, but this film in Hebrew is just hard to describe. Half a century in half an hour. Lodz, Frankfurt, Auschwitz, Arkhangelsk, Samarkand, Tel Aviv, Rego Park, Paris, Sinai. This film is a heartbreaking masterpiece.

The fatal story of a family discovered with detective precision based on the photos found in a garbage container in Tel Aviv. The film is strikingly minimalist, yet hauntingly beautiful. The dramatic suspense of the biblical fate punctuating one family, one of many. The unsettling proximity of the tragic century (the video is slow to load but well worth it, pay no attention to the commercials): Ynet – תעלומה במכולה הירוקה

Humility of Metacognition and Embracing a Dip

This is an illuminating video, Seth speaking about blogging. As you might know Seth Godin wrote a book about “the dip”. It is simple but an elegant idea about life. Essentially there is a dip in everything, the trick it to survive it and live to see the other side of the pit. But there is also a positive side to a dip, (reminds me of Judo principal – using your opponents weight as an advantage) a dip helps you to outlast the competition. The competition drops out during the dip stretch and if you have patience to wait, you will outlive them. Embrace the dip. ►►►read more
