Making Eva Stratt East German in the film is really really meaningful. She grew up (in the 1980s I assume?) behind the Berlin Wall. She came of age in a world defined by scarcity, secrecy, checkpoints, state control. She knew, viscerally knew, from her own life experience, what the whole entire world was going to devolve into when things started getting bad. It wasn't just some abstract academic idea to her (though, as a historian, she also intellectually knew from countless examples of eras of conflict across history). But this she knew in her bones, and she knew that she would have to do whatever it took to prevent it. To prevent, as much as she could, others (the children) from having to go through what she (as a child) went through. Having that personal history tacitly be part of her character's motivation is so, so good. (Also, this makes "It's so insulting" make way more sense, given what she's lived, and how her childhood was different from his.)

Yes, this. A stunning number of people will default to "because it's illegal." Teaching an intro-level bioethics course will demonstrate real fucking fast that a lot of the population just lets legality stand in for morality.

i think people really under sell the physical side effects of mental health disorders sometimes. like sure the depression and anxiety may be 'just in your head' but when what's in your head happens to disrupts your sleep schedule and prevent you from going outside regularly and eating consistent meals and exercising and generally taking care of your body. well it sure takes its toll huh.
