The films illustrate how technological arrogance and corporate greed ignore ecological complexity. Real-world parallels abound, from climate change to pandemics. Nature isn’t ours to dominate; it demands respect.
Modern discourse often treats people as characters in simplified narratives, stripping away complexity. The post critiques this tendency and calls for deeper understanding of human behavior, beyond stereotypes and performative identity.
