Selling your soul to the

This version is based on
Goethe's Faust directed by a Russian director with the dialogue in
German. That should give anyone who watches it an inkling of what to
expect. The director has taken liberties with his interpretation of
the tale and some might hate it. I will give the film a 7.0/10 for
that difference.
My impressions:
This tale is quite
well-known
Your soul in exchange for
enlightenment
Man being what he is
Always curious
Never satisfied
With what is
Always questioning
With what is it
The price we pay for that
knowledge
Seems irrelevant
As knowledge is the noble
pursuit
We chase after
We long for
As if that will be the
panacea
For all the questions
That we have
Some things
Will still remain
A mystery
