Hey Ligers
I really enjoyed the movie "Dirt". I was not aware that Dirt was so essential and referring it to a different name changes the context of it. Soil sounds more like a necessity while dirt sounds like a nuisance. Presonally, the fact that those whom appreciate soil refers to it as such reinforces that idea.
The different cultural views were a novel idea that I was absent minded of prior to watching this movie. For example the houses in India that were cleaned with soil and the fact that soil kept it cooler during the summer seemed as a great benefit as a building tool compared to concrete. The cartoons were also a good addition to the movie because it added a perspective they would have, if they had a basic reaction when we build on it, burn trees on it and place asphalt on it as well.
This is definitely a movie that colloquium classes should get to see as well, whatever thier ideas are on the importance of soil, this movie will bring it to the forefront of their thoughts.
