I always thought that Pluto wasn't classified as a planet because it was a victim of the Death Star. That's what I've been told at least. | ||

Wolves and Cats are strongly independent creatures who don't like to rely on humans for anything. Dogs on the other hand, start to lose it if you leave them alone for five minutes. I mean just think about it. | ||

I do remember watching a documentary though that wolves refuse to accept assistance from humans in any of their tasks. I think the example they used was trying to get food out of a locked cage. The dog eventually gave up and looked to the human for aid, where the wolf kept trying and trying. Not that my credibility is high, given my previous statement. | ||

Well that only makes sense because the prevailing theory on how humans started domesticating wolves being the some of them didn't produce enough cortisol. As a result, when humans were huddled around a fire and tossed the bones of their meal, these wolves would take the risk of venturing close enough to humans for the scraps, which led to a stable food source. Meanwhile, humans could take advantage of the wolves' heightened senses to have as guards. | ||

HE BASICALLY DROVE A KID TO SUICIDE. The fact the whole end of the movie supports his world view about the only way to achieve true art is to drive people to the brink is one that upsets. The whole "the world is too soft these days" sentiment really really rubs me the wrong way. I mean props to the movie for making me feel something but man I hate the message. | ||

I mean props to the movie for making me feel something but man I hate the message. + Show Spoiler + I understand what you're saying, but it isn't about "true art" or anything like that. It's about pushing the limits of human ability, which naturally involves being "at the brink" so to speak. It doesn't condone psychological abuse per se, but it does say that one has to be resilient in order to ascend. Obviously some of the events of the movie are going to be over the top simply to be dramatic, but the core message isn't as radical as that. | ||
