Flatland the movie was an educational tale of a revolt from tyranny. It started with explaining the hierarchy of shapes within Flatland, and as they were showing that they showed most of the Flatland community. As the real story began to unfold, one of the main characters, Arthur Square, kept having strange dreams. In his most important dream, Arthur (and consequently the viewer) was shown the secret of the third dimension that the Circle tyrants were hiding. After he woke up and went to work, he found out that his curious grand-daughter, Hex, had ventured into the forbidden area 33h to find an answer to her idea of 3 dimensions. He rushes off to save her, but in the process is captured by the circles. During his public trial, he tells the secret to the entire community, and a revolution begins. Throughout the story I mainly learned about all of the dimensions, starting with a single point.

I Am Human
“Stop worrying. It won’t help you in the future.” This reminds me of multiple times when I am worrying about whether or not I did something, or what might happen to me in the future. This lesson is telling me to stop because there is nothing I can do to prevent and it won’t help me to stress myself out. Another quote related to this is: “On your deathbed you will not regret what you did, but what you didn’t.” I think this quote is telling me to live in the present because life is short. Overall, these two quotes tell me that: While thinking about the future is good, you should really live in the present because life is short. Like someone once said “You could think of a million reasons not to do something, but you only need one to do it.”
