Final Paper Topic

For my final paper I will focus on Virilio’s Open Sky, and the film, “Click” starring Adam Sandler and directed by Frank Coraci.

Specifically from Open Sky I will consider Virilio’s ideas on “dromospheric pollution”, the loss of the journey, and the consequence of telecommunications and live-coverage.

From the film “Click”, I will compare the remote that Adam Sandler uses to control his life to “dromospheric pollution” and telecommunications. At the end of the movie Adam Sandler has great regret that he has missed experiencing the journey.

“Click” seems like a representation of Virilio’s grim forecasts coming true and the horrible consequences “dromospheric pollution” will have on the journey of life.
