Today we live in a culture of noise. One of the main causes that further the culture of noise is cell phones. In todays world we can't go anywhere without seeing or hearing people talking on cell phones. Since we can always hear people talking on cell phones it is impossible to have a thoughtful reflection. In todays world it is impossible to get away from this noise, you can't even go into a public restroom without having people talk on phones because of hands free headsets. In the movie it seems only monks who choose to be silent and get away from our materilized culture are the only ones who can escape the culture of noise.
A second example of the culture of noise we discussed was the ipod. Now people listen to ipods not with headphones but with speakers for all to hear. This is a way of rebeling against making silence silencing.
In todays materialized world it is impossible to escape the culture of noise.
