RE: Movies for Anarchists - Serenity
"I'm a leaf on the wind, see how I soar!" Goddamn this was a great movie. It also introduced (well if you exclude Kinky Boots) the world to the talents of Chiwetelu Ejiofor as The Operative, an agent for a better world damned to never see it by his own actions. Great great work.
He plays such a fascinating character.
Truth. Most villains of the well-intentioned extremist variety are delusional about their goals and the actions required to achieve those goals. In other words, they are delusional about themselves.
The Operative on the other hand was fully self-aware. He was only delusional about his masters, not himself.
