Ran across this recently in the comments at Vox Populi, a video on the symbolism of the Disney movie Moana, and how it subverted, destroyed, or denied the masculine: He also had an interesting take on the excellentSpirited Away: But, what I wanted to look at today was his take on Logan: Logan is an odd movie.
