Hopepunk, optimism, purity, and futures of hard work

I'm reminded of some classical movie where the guy, having been wrongfully imprisoned or something, decides to make a comedy because people need to laugh during dark times, not be reminded of their struggles.

Though I think we need solutions more than we need upbeat, feel good stories of some sort. I just don't know how one finds that thread to pull.

The film you're thinking of is Sullivan's Travels (1941), a real fantastic film I'd highly recommend. The American Film Institute ranked it the #61 greatest American film of all time.

I feel like this recommendation should come with some sort of warning. This movie might tear you apartm
