concluding thoughts from the movie:
themes discussed could seem larger than life (or not, perhaps in part living in a privileged and sheltered world), but no matter, the darkness of the fallen world is always relatable. the fact that we humans get so disconnected with our sins of pride, greed, gluttony..etc, is something i recognise and am both repulsed by at the same time. i.e. we are still the same people who spat at and sent Jesus to the cross.
crowd pursuit of the material dream is a universal delusion of how we've managed to believe in lies that we are living right in a world of fallen standards. a scary thought and definitely much reason to pray about.
and,
mutual indispensability is romantic. (the notebook)
unrequited indispensability (coupled with perceived mutual indispensability) is cruelly delusional and sad. (the great gatsby)
