Wolfgang Petersen's amazing 1984 film was not just telling us that pessimism is rising and creating despair. It told us that there are forces in the world that want people in despair.
🫡, Artax. Fantastic article - for real. As a gal very near your own age, and with 2 kids of my own, I've seen the movie quite a few times, and have read the book. Certainly didn't understand it at the age of 9, but as we grow older and learn to "adult," we surely begin to see it.
I really enjoy reading the articles you write about movies, connecting dots that are usually oftentimes missed. Thanks so much!
