Focusing on Eternal Sunshing of the Spotless Mind, one of my personal favorite movies from the last 10 years.

“The way I explain the nature of Q&C, both the novels and the comics, is that every story has to have two antagonists—the first is whoever it is that’s trying to blow up the bridge or assassinate the prime minister or steal the missile codes. But the second antagonist is always Tara’s own government, the bureaucracy. I’ve had friends at the State Department and elsewhere explain to me that the bureaucracy cares only about its own perpetuation. And I love that inherent drama, that we ask people to sacrifice so much on this altar of patriotism and defense of intangible ideals, and they’re doing it for people who will write them off at a moment’s notice if it becomes the politically viable thing to do.”
