It was just too late for me to pay enough attention and it’s obviously a film that requires it. I will probably watch all of his stuff now.

If you enjoyed this, then you’ll love Brazil, if you haven’t seen it already. I agree with your mention of the virtual world meaninglessness ending. He completely missed it. He got what he wanted, but he didn’t get what he wanted.

He first wasted his entire life on meaningless stuff waiting for his call and when he got it by means of a real person trying to connect with him he shut it down only to be thrust back into the virtual at the end which is also meaningless. I also noticed the name of the company- Man Con. It was a con for sure. Thanks for another great recommendation!

He definitely is a rare breed. His brain works so differently than everyone else’s. I’ve been dying to finally get to see his version of Don Quixote after all these years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkRo5l8679g

Anyway, thanks for the recommendation. It was interesting to discuss it formally and think about it out loud.

He clearly is connected differently than the average bear….
