The genius of AA is not so
much in its ability to help its members connect to some sense of a higher power that will help them succeed and overcome their problems, as it is in its ability to thoroughly convince each member of his or her own
insignificance, thus rendering them vulnerable, helpless, and willing to «turn their lives over» to something... anything... other than their own power.
Nonetheless, the whole movie intends to show the ultimate
insignificance of human beings no matter how
much they may demonstrate individual heroic virtue.
