Serenity

< Talk:Serenity (film). Below is the lastest version, which needs lots of reworking.... and perhaps some are not really themes so should go, and there could be others that need to be added (Love? Loyalty?).It is this totalitarianism that Mal and the crew of Serenity are challenging in the film. They are content to ignore the Alliance and avoid it wherever possible until they discover the physical and ethical atrocities committed on the planet Miranda by members of the Alliance.

Serenity (2005) It is clear to me that Joss Whedon (creator, writer, & director of both the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly" TV series ... the latter upon which the film is based) is a man of remarkable vision & style ... in short, he is a superb storyteller. In addition to those writing credits he rewrote the script for "Aliens", he wrote a number of episodes of the "Babylon 5" TV series, he directed "Avengers Assemble", in my opinion still the best Marvel superhero film and he's a straight down the middle atheist; the guy is smart!
