February 12: The Messenger (2009) is a powerful and tender story about a returned war hero making his first steps toward a normal life. In his first leading role, Ben Foster stars as Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army officer who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq and is assigned to the Army’s Casualty Notification service. Partnered with fellow officer Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved ones of fallen soldiers, Will faces the challenge of completing his mission while seeking to find comfort and healing back on the home front. When he finds himself drawn to Olivia (Samantha Morton), to whom he has just delivered the news of her husband’s death, Will’s emotional detachment begins to dissolve and the film reveals itself as a surprising, humorous, moving and very human portrait of grief, friendship and survival. The film, directed by Oren Moverman, brings us into the inner lives of these outwardly steely heroes to reveal their fragility with compassion and dignity. In English, 115 min. Rated R.

Good Enough
The Ethics Center Leon S. Peters Ethics Lecture
Good Enough: Why is the “good enough” not good enough? by John Lachs
Date: February 11, 2010
Time: 5-6 PM
Place: Alice Peters Auditorium
Lecture is Free and Open to the Public
Relaxed parking in the UBC parking lot only
Philosopher John Lachs reflects on our desire for perfection, which he connects with the longing for God and the experience of beauty. Suggesting that the ideal of moral perfection can be inhumane, Lachs concludes, “the fact that the world could be better does not imply that we are obliged to make it better.”
John Lachs is Centennial Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University. He is the author of many books and articles, including most recently The Cost of Comfort (2010). He is the editor of the Encyclopedia of American Philosophy. This presentation is based on his article, “Good Enough” in the Journal of Speculative Philosophy.
Sponsored by The Ethics Center at Fresno State, the Leon S. Peters Foundation, The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, and an IRA Grant
