What's the point?

Why make a film like this -- so utterly misanthropic, nihilist, and full of contempt for humanity? There's no moral center at all; literally every character is a murderer seeking revenge or a victim of a revenge killing (or just murdered for being in the way). I don't have a problem with gray area morality; characters who have complicated motivations for their actions are the most compelling part of a successful film. When everyone and everything is written as corrupt, immoral, or evil, there's no relative center to contrast it to -- the world as depicted seems adrift in a lifeless, uninteresting void. There is only sh_t, and everyone is digging downward. This perspective seems not only depressing, but dreadfully dull.

There just doesn't seem to be any point to any of it, except to say "this is a horrible world with horrible people doing horrible things". It's not a terribly enlightening revelation -- other films have said it far more eloquently -- and I'm not sure it needs a character literally saying "Don't leave anyone alive, nobody is innocent" to put a fine point on it.

I don't know anything about Frank Miller, but the dude should try meditation, or maybe therapy.
