Many of your points are valid. I don't know that I'll have a response for everything, and I do not presume that all my responses will sufficiently rebut your critiques, nor that the story conveyed the point well enough on screen. However, some of it may stick, and you may enjoy the film better in future viewings.

Thanks, Ender, for the thoughtful reply.

But it looks like you agreed with 18 of my points and offered a soft rebuttal on 2 of them. Was this your intention?
