Ah, this film generates a little discussion. I agree, it is not a discussion for everyone, possibly 5% maximum. Considering that the majority of people have full rights to shun intellectual conversation. Indeed, the majority love to flow in love, as 'truth' (enough) for them. Authoritarians assert their 'truths' separately.
I sought to study and discuss challenging subject matter my whole life long. I found people maintain comfort zones for discussion. Usually the prerequisites for discussion demanded an interface with familiar and particular contexts. Occasionally a bit of culture or fiction or fancy might liven discussion and expand comfort zones.
My own point about catalyst was based upon this expected pattern. Set the stage with huge generalities, lights, action, scenery, enthusiastic proponents, key-word-concepts, smily host, etc.... Ancestral heritage especially relieves the class-conscious tensions. I have felt these tension-complexs of society. I feel the mass-integration covering all these talking points does provide openers for more serious discussion. I have worked and lived closely with all classes (disposable income levels) which provides catalytic perspectives not seen in average lifetimes. Piles of distortions which seep into confusions of agendas. Like pouring from the empty into the void.
A neat starting point for the technology issues is the story and works of Nikola Tesla. Whose work underlies everything from electricity to radio to robotics to communications. Fast forward for now to his golden years where he was utterly suppressed under some sort of top-secret gag order. All because of his vision concerning some sort of free energy. Just what that means has itself become giga-distorted beyond immediate grasp. Our little movie simply relates the conflagrations of societal progress, with interwoven highlights or ideals. As openers for discussion of any subset or tangent. Granted, we get just snippets to follow deeper, where there is a will. Or, to avoid it like the plague, for fear of suppression, as masters too often dispel entitlement.
To thrive or not to thrive, this is a question. Certain comfort-zone-agendas thrive on elitist privilege. Some will immerse in fashion styles. Other comfort-zone-agendas go egalitarian. What ever one's chosen catalyst, let us proceed in love and light.
