Nah, he's no hero, he's just a selfish man. But, of all the characters, he is the only one who is honest about doing nothing, while every other character on the film (and many, many people in Real Life) go to great lengths to sustain the illusion of activity and productiveness.
That doesn't make him any better, he's just failing in a different way. Nul points.
(and many, many people in Real Life) go to great lengths to sustain the illusion of activity and productiveness.
And then, some people are active and productive. I don't know the film, but from your description of it, it's about a bunch of losers, in a fictional world from which every other possibility is excluded. Why should I take notice of anything in it?
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
