The moral of the story is to be really mean and inconsiderate of people around you. That plus wishful thinking + Protestant work ethic will make you heroic. Thatās the entire point, repeated over and over again throughout the film.
Itās just constant, really obvious repetition of lines like ā āIām torn between that and the loathing of the self-respect I might lose if I donāt do it. I suppose the word is pride. I, uhā¦ I feel that I failed, mentally especially.ā
Hereās a dialogue from it ā
You really donāt get it, do you? What this is like for us? Weāre broke. The time, the emotional toll. I mean, itās been years, Diana.
Well, suck it up. Weāre a team, right?
Wow.
Your superiority complex is really screwed up, you know that?
Yeah. Well, everyone should have a superiority complex. Everyone should feel like the star of their own life.
Iām not even interpreting: itās explicitly trying to glorify pride and using other people for your ego. Thatās the whole gist of the story, more than I can get across in a few quotes.
