The Imperfect Sides of a Perfect Circle (Morality Towards Love)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Assuming we consider that the film art isn’t merely a simple representation or expression, but that promotes a moral understanding, we are considering that the film acts as a contributing means to understanding the philosophical aspect of human beings. It is through films that we have access to stories and characters that lead us to analyze the way we live. Based on this idea, comes this audiovisual essay "The Imperfect Sides of a Perfect Circle", that explores the way that these moral aspects are translated to films, more explicitly how it is done in the film How to Draw a Perfect Circle (2009), from the director Marco Martins.
