You might find this post interesting. Be advised it's some very lengthy content to digest, but it's definitely worth it in my opinion.

(No obligation to watch at all friend, just wanted to share with you. Maybe you'll find it interesting.)
Thank you as always, this movie looks like something I would enjoy, I've never heard of it before now.
