Very interesting, thanks for the link! It had many references I didn't catch (clearly the author is much more learned than I am). It strikes me, though, that he didn't mention the one thing that was continually beat over our heads throughout the last movie: the choice to act regarless of success. How many events were we subjected to where there was no chance of success yet the characters carried on, not out of hope or faith but choice? I suppose he addressed this when talking about "I choose to", but only in simple terms of human freewill, not persisting against hope.
