A hallmark of socially degenerate, nihilistic, secular behavior is creating artwork that doesn't ennoble, doesn't lift the spirit, doesn't venerate God and the Divine, but instead works solely on the material surface level of reality, judges it to be inferior to lived experience, and performatively laments the fact existence doesn't live up to childish desires. This is why the entire modernist and postmodernist movements are both secular and nihilistic: because the people involved were whining at the fallen world they created and not gratefully praising God for creation in the first place. Nietzsche's lament (and it WAS a lament) of the Death of God was most certainly a reaction to this very attitude that was emerging across Europe, because he saw exactly what would -- and has -- manifested from it. Art that makes you feel like shit is fruit from the tree of death, the same tree whose fruit we've all been eating since before we were even fucking born.

This is the difference between Tolkien and Martin, for instance. We all know whose work is going to reverberate forward to future generations. At least until all the orcs scour every Shire there is. Even then though, what story structure encourages rebirth and reconstruction? Tolkien's desire for goodness and life when surrounded by chaos and death, or Martin's extended passages about diarrhea?

I haven't seen this movie. I bet it's actually quite good. I also bet that it was written by someone who lives in resentful misery, unwilling to find a real solution because they value their ability to force their misery onto you.
