Flatland

In my earnest attempt to become a worthy geek, I feel obligated to share this video with you, my dear readers. I forgot to post it earlier on this week, guess it just slipped my mind. That's a good sign though; my mind has adapted to the geekiness in which i've been roaming in for the past two weeks that even this movie, the quintessence of geekiness, didn't shock me enough to write about it forthwith.

It's a movie called Flatland which we were forced to watch during Linear Algebra class last tuesday.

Based on Edwin Abott's book "Flatland", this is an animated film about geometric characters living in a two-dimensional world. When a young girl named "Hex" decides to "think outside the box" (in a world where such thought is forbidden), her life becomes in danger and it is up to her grandfather to save her life. (imdb.com)

It was actually pretty amusing, the ending was even quite dramatic I must say. Won't reveal more in order to prevent spoilers (like hell...people - aside from geeks ofcourse - would voluntarily want to waste 40 minutes of their lives watching two dimensional geometric shapes attempting to overthrow a nazi regime run by circles)

Anyway, here's the link to the trailer:
