That one’s fantastic. But I just confirmed it also works perfectly with the opening of Contact by Daft Punk.

I once drove along a stunnigly beautiful winding road, high above a steam-filled valley south of Lillehammer, Norway, and for several minutes a group of swans were flying in formation at eye-level right next to me. One of the most breathtaking sights I’ve ever seen.

Looks like the island itself was reacting in shock to the Holei Sea Arch collapse in Hawaii.
Screenshot showing the arch in 2019 and missing in 2026, the latter has a yellow markup overlaid showing how the rocky coastline resembles a human face in profile with the mouth wide open as if in shock.

i don’t quite understand why our views align on so many topics, but yes, fantastic film. only scene that didn’t work for me was that zany outburst in the car. felt like an editing error that took me out of the film for a second.
