I really like how the movies you describe show the value of keeping things simple. Remember high school chemistry? Too many variables made it impossible to validate a test. This lesson in simplicity applies to kindness. "A simple act of kindness has a ripple effect with no logical end." Kind acts don't require complicated 'movie plots'. Just one small small, one kind word....can make a difference. I haven't watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, but I'm wondering if Mr. Rogers conveys a similar message.
A lot of the Coen Brothers' movies seem to have some variation of this theme, with overly convoluted plots and greedy plots that end up backfiring. Like Fargo: "There's more to life than a little money, you know. Doncha know that? And here you are, and it's a beautiful day."
Discovered your newsletter during the Roll Call 2022. Loved reading through it. I would fancy a collaboration, we both can write a couple of guest posts on each others newsletters.

Do tell me if you are interested.
Never knew about Dean Kamen! Really curious to know the full story so I'm definitely going to watch that documentary.
