One movie that seems to stick in my mind. Here's Queeg asking for help. Later in the movie, this scene is mentioned again as it figures in the Mutiny.
How a leader reacts to criticism says a lot about him. The Queeg character interpreted it as disloyalty. But in this scene, he asks for constructive help. He doesn't get it. But did he deserve it? We don't know from the movie exactly, but we are given hints that it may have helped.
There's a fine line here. I don't know if the point is being made well enough. Like Queeg, I wonder if it will register. We live in perilous times. But that is always true. Sometimes the perils meet you fact to face and you have to meet them, but how you meet them is the point of the entire movie.
