a "different" afterthought:
maybe it is human irony that one longing of the human psyche is to be special, while the other longing is to be comfortable in ones surrounding, to be “part of the group/crowd”. and so many films are about people with special talents who are mocked, and then find their way and are celebrated – but this mocking, it’s also a part of our social structure. and probably both are needed.
