      @@sirmcswagalot6224 A movie like 'The Platform' won't need to exist when we finally become intelligent enough to feel other people's suffering as our own. And that time will surely come in the near future coz working together as a team is the best chance we've got to survive as a species.

      I hope this movie is never forgotten much like the early 60s, 90s and 2000s classics we still have today. That it may show future dreamers that they too can enact their dreams into reality with their own version of Ellie [fem or male]. This movie inspired me to go to publishing and quit my previous job four years ago. Life has its own little adventures. And surely, when I first saw this movie I wasn't a child I was an adult, and still am, and it made me cry with joy. 😢😢
      We all need a version of Ellie in our lives but still know that we can be independent dreamers in this grey, convoluted, crazy world.

    Believe it or not, it was your reading of the Stone by Stone short story that made me want to check this out and I have to say, I was not disappointed. Not only did you perfectly catch the emotion of the film, you explored several themes that I didn't even think of. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane, and I thank you for that.
    And I almost made it through the whole thing without tearing up, but that last sentence, "...while she may be gone, their love never will be - and for him, adventure is still out there," really got to me. Manly tears, of course :).
    Looking forward to more stuff!

This holds a deep meaning, both for Carl and Russell's lives! It might represent how Carl's emptiness was being put to an end at the realisation of what true adventure means, and also be foreshadowing how, both for Russell and Carl, spending time together as a(n) (almost) family was going to be their great adventure! :')
