How is sacrifice used in storytelling and when is it most successful? In this episode, we talk about the act of sacrifice in real life and how a person’s sacrificial act might impact their loved ones. We also chat about Matt Damon’s role in this film, and how sacrifice that doesn’t result in death may impact the character’s mental state after the sacrificial act.
