"It's what is constantly at stake, the things that we take for granted, the very things that are given to us that we are so eager to relinquish in the name of modern fantasmic niceties, — namely capital, money. At every point in the movie and in our lived society, we cling to ghost atmospheric ideals that have no material contact with us. The droning shots of nature... if anything showcases that absurdity, the materiality that we take for granted — the grand prize that is planet earth, something that can only be sculpted amidst billions of years of precise evolution. Something that despite the vastness of our near universe, we have yet to find a planet that comes close to our own. All of this gone for an economic system that hasn't even lasted a fourth of human history."
