The movie has sold itself as being Bryan Cranston's movie — his motivations are easily the most
multi-faceted of any single character — and when it attempts an admittedly ballsy POV pass, the picture drops the baton.
Sadly, these archetypes end up depicted more as stereotypes, as there isn't a

multi-faceted scheme» statement is technically true, but regarding the assertion about «almost everything leads back to the fossil fuel industry,» this student's paper inadvertently becomes a case study
of how scrutiny
of every angle
of such accusations does not actually reveal the appearance
of a disinformation campaign created by the fossil fuel industry, but instead one apparently created and promulgated by enviro - activists, supported in a major way to this very day by
character assassination accusations from a
single source — Ross Gelbspan and the clique
of enviro - activists surrounding him.
