Caught a matinee of The Lobster yesterday (thoughts to come early next week).  One of the joys of seeing an independent movie is that you see trailers for all of these other movies that you’ve probably never heard of.  Case in point: Captain Fantastic starring Viggo Mortensen.

I have no context for this story other than Benedict Option discussions and talks with friends and co-workers about the state of contemporary culture.  I love the line about children becoming philosopher-kings (a la Plato).

I hope (a) that this movie eventually screens in Hawaii and (b) that the movie does an even-handed portrayal of what is about to become more of a struggle for many: how to raise children in a way counter to the prevailing winds of culture.

Captain Fantastic drops July 8th in what I’m assuming will be select theaters at first.
