Right, that is fair. And he does grow and change through that movie. There's just a lot of small side plots happening alongside it where other characters grow and come to terms with their relationships.

True. And a lot of the times multiple characters grow and it's actually the relationship between them that's the arc we see in the movie (Darjeeling Limited and Royal Tennebaums are the two that immediately come to mind).

Reply to comment by pineappleshnapps in TIL Eating every course seperately is Service à la russe. Before this meals were service à la française where all courses were served at once. Ambassador Alexander Kurakin introduced Service à la russe to France in 1810 and it became the norm by the 1880s. by jamescookenotthatone
Also many of the curries they eat were indeed invented in Britain (by Indian migrants). Butter chicken is British in the same way orange chicken is form California not China

You can always find a winning lottery ticket on the ground. The likely hood is functionally zero either way

I never understood what would be more fascinating about life originating on another planet rather than earth. It just passes the buck. Also it doesn't explain the rest of the biodiversity we have here

Yep. Also when she returns at the end of the book, things are imbued with color

It's a great movie to showcase color too. While the book doesn't explicitly have Kansas be black and white, they make a lot of mention of how grey everything is, and all the lands Dorothy visits are very focused on color; the Emerald city especially. They didn't call it out as explicitly in the movie but it's definitely a great inspiration
