Although I guess I might argue that\’s kind of the film\’s shtick (in a way), it\’s hard to ignore it upon repeat viewings.

People who are raised with all of their basic needs met find images in media of people who are less lucky than themselves and they think "why not me? Why don\’t I get to be special, too?". Blandness is the price you pay for safety and comfort. Deal with it.
