    The only thing I didn’t like about this video is you using Female Shepard for the edits. Damn. That just doesn’t make any sense somehow. It takes away the ground reality of humans of sorts, like Ned being a female in Game of Thrones. You know what I mean. The soldier is a man, with all the fiction in the mass effect, some things like this needs to put us humans properly in the shoes of story. Making it a mirror of our reality, that this fiction could be real, as it mirrors of our own and makes sense. Thats why the game was such a hit back then. Most people played it as male and replayed with female. Older real world history has men fighting wars. And thats why the classic media depicting men as fighters resonate with our own humanity. There are many other female characters in the game, which give it it’s weight, they can be used as such.Not being misogynistic, just being real and true.

    I'm not convinced that No Country is about the amorality of society. Bell quits because the world is too violent for him, but he now gets to spend more time with his wife and he is no longer in danger of dying on the job - away from her. Moss, Wells and Chigurh all cooperate with evil in a way. Chigurh is just as free as the rest of them, despite his attempts to make himself seem like the eternal force of death. Carla Jean is right, he doesn't have do do it. They all freely cooperate with good or evil, and while none of it is completely fair, none of it is completely unjust either. Moss steals money, Wells and Chigurh are guns for hire. Good does happen to people who want good. Bad happens to people who want bad. Yes, Chigurh doesn't die, but he's not unscathed and he will have to (as he already has) live his life on the run. Yes Carla Jean dies, and that is tragic, but there are evil people in the world. That, I believe is what McCarthy is getting at: No matter how violent and evil the world is, telling the truth and doing what is right is still the best option.

    *Why is information important?* Not only is information vital for clear thinking and clarity but one cannot reinvent thousands of years of human progress on the fly. You simply need all the proper historical steps and developments to understand why. University courses often do not cover these steps enough or have them resolved. One might be better off with private research techniques. BONUS: Why is Occultism linked to Aristocracy? Occultism is an expensive spiritual understanding available only to the religious elite or those with enough time to pursue its grasp. These are the roots of human tradition and political values and not to be taken lightly. These include spiritual influence such as the will of God and we’re covered up by the Old Testament in an attempt to subjugate the less informed.

    Whilst the points made here are “technically” correct I felt that Rogue One was a much better film and story and that is probably because despite what it got wrong I think it got a lot more right than Force Awakens. But this is why screenwriting and film making is such a hard thing to get right - doing things by the book only gets you so far. A myriad of other choices need to be correctly made or fall into place by luck for something to work and be good

    What about the moment of redemption when Rita "buys" Phil at the auction and she empties out her purse to do so? He wakes up in the morning and she is there and he asks, why are you here? And she says, I bought you, I own you. Redemption. That broke the cycle but it was because she saw his maturity and selflessness and wanted him, kind of a modern day Pinocchio story. Great movie and great overview!

    Great video, although I noticed you left out covering the character development of Tony Stark when he traveled back in time - he discovers his dad was actually more "balanced" in having concern for his family than he previously thought, and is able to let go the resentment towards his dad that Tony had been carrying inside him for decades and had contributed to Tony's initially flawed character.
