Hello !
I would like to know if you have any films & documentaries to recommend that are talking about GO ! Anything but not so much oriented about learning, more about history.
Thank you :)!

Playing Go in Movies and TV-Shows (pictures)

Star Trek Enterprise (“Cogenitor” - S02 Ep22 - 28m39s) Commander Tucker (B) is playing Go with an Alien (W). He disagrees with the Alien Culture, where a third sex will held like pets, only for reproducing. He teaches it reading and shows ship and earth culture. Tucker is losing, what prooves the intelligence of the “pet”. (altough there are still many many weaknesses for white),…It looks like, they had probably a 18-22k player on the set [image] [image]

Go references in American novels or movies

Hi everyone. As much as I am interested (though not very good at) playing Go, I am also fascinated by cultural myths/stories around the game, especially in American culture. Do you know of any novels, short stories, movies etc. that show characters playing Go, apart from A Beautiful Mind? I know there are a lot of Asian movies/stories that include Go references (obviously) but I am particularly interested in American ones. Thank you all!

I would recommend the Alpha Go documentary (I consider it a must-watch ).

Also, the 2 Divine Move movies (2nd is better than the 1st, IMHO, but both are entertaining).

P.S. And welcome to the community!

The movie Pi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_(film) has some Go content. It does not play a major role, but the movie itself is worth watching.
