Nathan Bloom - My Choice #1

I was thinking about a movie a recently watched called Equilibrium. It is about society after world war 3 and the utopia that is created. No one has feelings because of the drug that the people are given. But there are a few outliers who escape the city and do not take there scheduled doses of of the drug and can feel. These people hold on to things like records, and paintings, and even decorative wallpaper. these items are all held sacred to theses last few people who can still feel. It made me think of topics studied in this class. How sacred place can be not a place at all but a memory of an event, of a feeling, or of an experience that one had.
