Very insightful! I know what I’m going to rewatch this weekend. I love how you explored how wilderness can be used as a shield.

Thank you!! And yes, reasoning William Cronon really changed my view of the whole concept of wilderness, and you put it so perfectly, it is used a shield for San.

loved this one, you did one of my fav films justice with this analysis. made me appreciate the male protagonist more (i was firmly on san’s side on first watch).
