One thing I really hate about the film bro demographic of cinephiles is the sheer depth of misunderstanding they have about what the 'indomitable human spirit' actually is. Because the slew of action movies about white men shooting things because they feel threatened and then they win and get their girls back is. Not about the indomitable human spirit. It's a white power fantasy. If we want to take from popular western media, the best representation we have is Ripley (a woman) and Watney (a man who had to use his brain instead of a gun) but. You know.
