Shame
Steve Mcqueen 2011
Steve Mcqueen's new film shows the tale of Brendan, a sex addict barely coping with the needs of his addiction while trying to balance a normal life. Fassbender's character is in total isolation and only in feeding his addiction can true relief be found. Lust probably one of the most relatable subjects, Mcqueen has touched upon an idea so powerful it has your heart pounded throughout.

Dark Star, 1974,
Teaching Bomb 20 phenomenology,
In this scene we see Doolittle convince the newly formed character of Bomb 20 to not explode in the ships loading bay, here we see Dark Star evoke a crash course in philosophy.

Buccleuch House
2012
The 1930 Housing Act enabled Local Authorities to work with the voluntary housing sector. This sector was dominated by women's organisations and the Act provided a new avenue for increased participation. The company known as the Women's Pioneer Housing Ltd was run as a Co-operative Society, employing its own woman architect, Gertrude Leverkus (1899-1976) to design each flat. There were four different styles on offer to suit diverse needs and by 1936 it provided 36 developments in London and one in Brighton.
The National Association of Women Civil Servants (NAWCS) had urged the government and local authorities since 1947 to build low cost rentals but shortage of land made single-unit dwellings expensive. NAWCS representatives were impressed by the model Buccleuch House, Clapton Common, London E5 with its 96 flats plus communal facilities for single women, which Hackney Council had built and invited them to visit in 1951.
