This is not a rebuttal, I agree with everything you are saying, and i’d like to make a point.
Some would say these events are caused by their savior/Messiah. I think that adds to the hope that an alternative singular person would step up to “save” everyone.
Ford v Ferrari, and I really enjoyed it. It had the right amount of corporate backstabbing being out smarted by the main character. Not a feel good flick but it had a lot of good racing scenes and it was exciting.
Also watched the last 30 minutes of The Revenant which I had started but not finished… that movie is brutal. And as my second watch-through, I’m still not entirely sure what the take away thoughts are. It’s just survival and people are awful to each other. I’m not sure there’s a lesson or reward at the end. Maybe I missed the whole point.
