I love the deterministic aspect of Hunt’s suffering that you explore here. In every one of these films there is a heavy indication that Hunt’s only purpose is to fight endlessly for the survival of the world and he gets very little in return with all of the loved ones he comes to lose.
Your Sisyphean reading of Hunt is definitely the closest to this undercurrent of senseless I’ve found to be prevalent in every one of his missions so this read was incredibly gratifying.
thank you! first off, i'm so glad you liked it - this was a pretty self-indulgent piece so any resonance is already more than i anticipated. but more on the point, deterministic is such a great word to use to describe his whole deal, as is senseless. the intricacy and scale of these operations are too enormous to comprehend, which i think only hammers the point home, because what are you meant to do under a force that big, right? it's probably easier to keep moving than to stop, i guess. but enough from me - thanks again for reading !!
I’ve never watched a Tom cruise movie in my life but this…I’m obsessed with the idea of Tom cruise action movies being about martyrdom. Incredible as always!!!
honestly you could say i've started seeing cathedrals everywhere but this time they're just in the text...i'm so glad you liked this tho please lemme know if you watch any of these movies !!
