For my next project I'm going to examine a film that I thought was greatly misunderstood and underrated at the time of its release (mostly due to bad marketing) and that is The Grey (2011) starring Liam Neeson. I remember it being marketed as "Taken with Wolves", promising lots of action and Neeson being badass but I loved how it turned out to be a rather quiet meditation on death and suffering, with the wolves clearly serving a metaphorical purpose rather than a literal one (the film was criticized for its unrealistic portrayal of wolves). In the video I'll be focusing on the idea of heroic suffering based on 2 authors who each have endured their fair share of suffering, albeit almost 2000 years apart..
