Wonderful analysis of this great movie. I think there are a lot of Lester's out there, unalive, going through the motions, scared to live their authentic selves. Why? Because of the boundaries we were given to grow up in (Fitts).
I get your completely completely, we needed those boundaries to build what we have but I question what we have now. Those "boundaries" keep building drones that kill kids in 3rd world countries. Those boundaries destroy the planet. Those boundaries crush women and minorities.
The best thing we can do is to question the box we men have been put into and craw/break our way out of it. I believe that the survival of the world lies in our hands as men.
Thank you for a great article!
