I feel like if a film is well-written, then the character's arc is complete. There really is very little room to expand on that afterwards. ↗

Scientology is not written with disrespect toward God. It doesn't worship something that is evil. It is scientific, mathematical, and spiritual. The black community has to check it out and see what's there. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but you have to take a look. ↗
