In 1958, Mao Zedong’s “Great Leap Forward” pushed to radically increase “efficiency” in agriculture while modernizing Chinese society, producing the worst famine in human history.

And after a slow start to 2024 there was another great leap forward in Miami in May this year.

However – and it’s a big however – the story of disability in film is perpetually one of two steps forward, one step back, and Nessarose in “Part 1” is definitely a great leap forward.

What just a few years ago seemed like a treacherous attempt to make a great leap forward finally feels like normal.

It follows that anyone who does not bow down mindlessly in obeisance to them is evil, and must be purged, for society to be cleansed, to usher in the “Great Leap Forward” or “Thousand Year Reich.”
