“There is no situation you cannot turn to your advantage.” Unless you're in Redbelt, where Mamet’s stoic fighter navigates a morally rigged system with only dialogue and discipline. A minimalist martial arts parable from cinema’s tersest tactician.

Howard Roark doesn't think of you — and that's the point. My deep dive on The Fountainhead (1949): a film that turns architecture into a battle for the soul of individualism.

Just watch #Insomnia (2002), directed by #ChristopherNolan. It feels like a spiritual predecessor to #Inception. The film deals with guilt as a moral compass. Once we stop listening to it, we can tragically go down the wrong path. The main character is just as lost as Cobb from Inception and finds himself in sleepless dreams.
