The opposite direction?
- jMyles 7mo agoYes, the opposite direction. I pointed out two examples, but I think you can watch the film front to back and find them in every scene. The doctor, lawyer, judge, the storyline about the plants/electrolytes (which has a big opportunity to point to greed and factory farming and utterly whiffs), the Brawndo/unemployment subplot, the intensity of public interest in civic affairs - literally every major plot point runs in the opposite direction of today's realities.
- A_D_E_P_T 7mo agoSeems to me like two different paths to the same end. One stupid, the other more evil or at least rapacious, but the destination is ultimately the same.
