impressive how far white saviorism will go in real life and in movies. here, they’ve completely concocted a white doctor who’s “unique” lens is what we follow. he’s arrogant and frustratingly slow to respond to what’s OBVIOUSLY going on around him because of how pompous he’s feeling. by the time he wakes up, he becomes the moral compass to follow and almost the hero of the story. ridiculous. what’s worse is that this is based on the very real, very…

a saga! i can’t believe how many years this spans. it’s impressive how it still also manages to feel grounded. a story about friendship and love and war. wild.
