Serenity

In response to the total control situation presented by the movie, I am reluctant but also relieved to admit that we cannot sustain under a totalitarian system even if the system is one of pure peaceful intent. In many ways, the movie points toward the balance of nature - the ying and the yang .. if that doesn't sound so lame. In an effort to resist violence, peace was over balanced and eventually was able to regain that balance in a most fitful manner. The idea also presents itself in a precursor to our own doom in that humans have the knack of changing the environment and everything around them to fit toward their own desires and goals even if that goal is the continuation of the human species as a whole. Being popular fiction though, people will not only not listen to this view but instead devote themselves only to the romance/action part of the movie.
