Heroic Mysticism: Hollywood's New Esthetic

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2016)

Hollywood's new aesthetic is mystical heroism, or heroic mysticism. However "techy" or crude the trappings, commerce with the other-worldly has become the essential ingredient for a box-office or ratings success.
That or its seeming opposite: a "reality" film expressing cynical disgust or crass indifference for our "mundane" lives on Planet Earth., and the existing universe, in either, ever on the very brink of disaster, our lives at the mercy of unknowable forces beyond time and space . . . or lurking within us: "We can never escape our demons, only rise above them." ~ The Ancient One, Doctor Strange
This movie had a lot of great one-liners, subtly inserted., and quite a few humorous quips as well.
But the upshot of it all is to deliver the message that the bulk of humanity's very existence relies time and again on a, usually selfless, savior or superhero to take command, assume an authoritarian stance, fight or die for the good of the ignorant or ungrateful masses (i.e., primarily from a sense of duty).
