I originally said I'd include 2 authors, but I dropped one (slave-turned-stoic philosopher Epictetus) because balancing the two (their differences/similarities..etc.) became too much of a distraction from actually talk about the film and I ultimately found the work of Viktor Frankl to be a better fit. I will add some of the deleted material in the annotated video soon! Hope you enjoy!
