    Why was it called "Entropy"?? This is wrecking my head..

    Entropy is defined as a measure of randomness, which allows the measure of disorder. It is part of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics.. So what the hell does this movie have to do with that? It's quite orderly :confused:

    Plot Summary for
    Entropy (1999/I)

    Stephen Dorff narrates this tale about how his life goes astray as his character attempts to strike a balance between the demands of directing his first film and the pressures of his new romance with a model. U2's Bono plays a role in this film as both himself and Dorff's character's concience.

    Entropy

    1.Symbol S For a closed thermodynamic system, a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work.

    2.A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system.

    3. A measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message.

    4. The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity.

    5. Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.
    Additional definitions of use? (haven't seen the movie)

    far as I know from Comms in college Entropy as i know is a measure of the information required to be able to interpret a signal correctly even if there's many errors.
