"There's strength in needing others."

Somehow I'm subconsciously relating the movies that I feel are geared towards sending this message to the audience.

"There's strength in needing others."

The first time that I encountered this line was from the movie Burnt.

In this movie, a character named Adam, a chef, has achieved success at a young age but has failed to maintain it. I guess he isn't mature enough to contain his arrogance so the success that he craved and achieved has quickly gone away from him. He managed to make a comeback but he seemed unable to comprehend why he kept on failing until he realized that he needed to entrust some of the responsibilities to his team and work together in achieving the ultimate success that he dreamed of.

Relying on others is not a bad thing because there's no "I" in the team.

It was also the same message from the series that I recently watched, the Last Airbender.

In this series, the previous Avatars were constantly reminding Aang that for him to perform his duty as the Avatar, he must do it alone. For the previous avatars, it's easier for them to perform their responsibilities when they don't have other responsibilities from their family or friends. However, Aang doesn't feel agreeable to that because he feels that having friends who will support him is a more logical way for him to perform his duty as the avatar.

Eventually, it was shown in the series that he was right about it. It works well in his case as the Last Airbender and as the Avatar too.

And then again, the anime that I'm currently watching is also sending that same vibe; "there's strength in needing others". I believe it was shown on many occasions in the story of the movie. They may have come from different walks of life but they met and became friends because of destiny.

Right now, I'm in the part of the series where the 4 main characters are undergoing the 4th phase. This phase of the Hunter Exam is all about being alone in achieving their goal but eventually, the characters have re-teamed up and contributed their special skills for all of them to achieve their goals.
