Kurt Vonnegut is more than 80 years old and a wise man. His prose is scathing here about the current American administration. He’s one of those unabashed humanists (meaning a non-Christian). In fact, he’s a leader of one of the humanist organizations.
If anyone has seen Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes, Flightplan has a couple elements from that movie. Both movies have a place where a soon-to-be-missing person breathes on a window and draws something. Both movies have good and bad people who did not see the missing person or say they never saw the missing person. Both movies have people who pressure the protogonist into thinking the missing person was imagined. Both movies have the protogonist seeing the window drawing again, and then realizing they are being tricked. Of course, Hitchcock’s movie is far superior.
Finished watching that whole season just recently. It’s still interesting. Waiting for the last season to come out on dvd.
