that one scene where he’s talking about swimming with his brother and he reveals how he won the contest with the line “i never saved any energy for the swim back”
this sounds poetic on the surface level but makes zero fucking sense considering the movie (from my memory) quite literally shows him not only swimming back, but also pulling his exhausted brother back with him, the same brother who is shown to be genetically physically superior
how is this meant to make sense?
i was seeing some interview about IVF eugenics and it made me think of this movie and particularly this moment, which for me marred an otherwise good movie
