I loved the movie KPop Demon Hunters . It's a tear-jerker—even just listening to the climax song in my car last night brought some wetness. And somehow the premise, despite being totally absurd, not only works, it feels relevant to the world we inhabit today. Including what we're doing with uptrust... the temptation is to do a "Takedown" of all the unconsciousness, maintaining our "golden" ego —which brilliantly includes portraying ourselves as vulnerable, but only after we've privately done whatever we need to get right with that. When what we need to is to fully embrace the wholeness of who and what we are in connection with others, and then let love be our defiant response to the temptation of demons.
I think animated films tend to do a much better job on average of focusing on emotional character transformations.
Thanks xander for the recommendation.
