> But for some reason, everyone else thinks the moral of this story is Believe Experts. Worse, I think the scriptwriter and director and people like that also thought the moral of this story was Believe Experts. I think they asked themselves “How can we create a polemical film that viscerally convinces people to Believe Experts” Maybe these people watched a very different version than I did, and maybe Scott watched a very different version than I did, but I strongly suspect that this is actually a straw man argument and the people thinking this don't exist and Scott has galloped off with his sidekick Sancho to rid the countryside of the windmill menace. The movie's moral very clearly and heavy handedly is that the government doesn't give a shit about anything but themselves, and media doesn't give a shit about anything but themselves, and rich capitalists don't give a shit about anything but themselves, and the UN isn't going to save anyone, and everyone is fucked because of it, and actually it's a gazillion times worse because actually that government is our government and that media is our media and that UN is our UN so all those people dying are _us_. The movie has nothing to do with "believe experts", and I really think one has to be very blind to think that it is, so... what's going on here?
