The movie leads to unmindful sexuality and human suffering in relation to unmindful sexuality in at least two scenes. The most prominent though is the relationship between marketing executive Brad Stan and Dawn, Brad selfishly involves himself with the Existential detectives to rout Albert out of the Open Spaces coalition, but the Existential detectives end up flipping Brads world inside out and bringing up certain unmindful sexual issues between Dawn and himself. The relationship between the two was sprouted on selfish sexual and ego issues. The relationship lacks an intimate sex life due to the lack of connection and communication in the selfish relationship. Bernard and Vivian quickly learn that while dismantling the reality of Brad, that his sex life with Dawn has been dismantled for quite sometime, this is the first of a few examples of unmindful sexuality in the film.
The second obvious example of unmindful sexuality is when Catherine Vauban-pessimistic author somehow mixed into the flick through the existential detectives- wants to teach young Albert and Tommy who are trying to find their true purpose in the universe and what it all means. Vauban teaches Albert and Tommy a lesson on how no matter how hard a human tries to escape the reality of day to day life; you will always be pulled back into human drama and its subsequent lead to suffering and pain. Vauban seduces Albert into a relationship, seeming to be purely driven by sex, clearly unmindful sexuality. Albert learns his lesson when Tommy, his other, is hurt by their relationship and their abandonment of him during a very tedious part of his breakthrough to the truth about the universe. Vauban uses Albert, like many human relationships, by seducing him through unmindful sexuality, purely to teach the lesson of human drama. The lesson works, Albert also learns to steer clear of unmindful sexuality in the eye opening experience. The movie is a learning experience I feel, it brings more to the table than unmindful sexuality, but this is a very key truth that is portrayed in the movie.
