Quantum of Solace and Trust

This programme, including clips from the film, explores the concept of trust and how different people view it - as expressed in the film Quantum of Solace.

The programme invites discussion of the question "As you've got older - has it got harder to trust people, or easier?" - and sets up any talk about trust.

 Suggestion for use

      1. Show the first part of the programme - then freeze frame on the question "As you've got older - has it got harder to trust people, or easier?"
      2. Invite people to share their answers with one another.
      3. Invite feedback and discuss what our answers tell us about:
        • our view of morality - is there an absolute right and wrong, and are there heroes and villains? How can we tell whether we, and those around us, are on the right track?
        • our view of people and human nature - are people generally to be considered trustworthy? If someone has gone wrong in the past, can they change and be trustworthy again? Do you trust yourself?
        • our view of life - is it worth the risk of trusting people? To what extent do we need to trust and be trusted?
      4. Show the rest of the programme
      5. Deliver a short talk lifting off from the suggestion to look at biblical ideas of trust, faith, and the possibility of change. You could look at 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 and think about how we can come to trust in God, perhaps illustrating these ideas with contemporary quotes about trust, faith and change (NB these links into the large collection of relevant Bible references and contemporary quotes are free to anyone with a subscription to Tools for Talks - non-subscribers can obtain immediate access with a 1 year or 30 day subscription).
