Friends dragged me to Inside Out 2 and it was saccharine dogshit that mostly made me think of my awkward moments in high school sports. To its credit it was only 90 minutes long. Anyway Zizek’s idea would have been much more unhinged and interesting.

    I simply disagree with Zizek that it would make for a good movie. I think a better way to portray psychic breakdown and suicidal acts of violence is with a 1st person perspective where the person cannot detach their hallucinations from reality. I think Riot did it with Tryndamere to haunting brilliance. I’d probably have a small child follow a fairy around in a storybook landscape. It leads him provide food by stealing. Sometimes he thinks his fairy enchantment makes him clairvoyant, but in reality he’s moving people away from Zionist retaliation while he is unable to grasp how humans could treat him so cruelly as a child. Eventually he grows up to lead a team to resistance but all his imagination filled with fairies turns to crippling PTSD as the conflict gets the better of his mind that no longer has the spiritual cushion necessary to keep him well through all the strife. When he gets got, they bury him as a hero with his coloring book from when he was a child. Sell some wings alongside shirts with fairies on it to support Palestine and call it a day. There’s your propaganda that finally turns the world against America and its twisted MIC.

    Edit: the fairies are butterflies and he is blocking out the death of his baby sister who he remembers seeing in a field of butterflies. Therefore it’s her spirit guiding him through his life. Also the adult Palestinian is played by Ryan Gosling. The butterfly spirit is voiced by Chris Pratt
