The classic American feel-good movie plot is as follows: successful young person is arrogant and jerky until suddenly it all goes wrong. He/she is then forced to rely on others for help [to get out of the desert, or to come back from the injury, or to find a new job, or whatever the case may be], valuing interpersonal relationships for the first time ever. In the end, he or she senselessly turns down [the big promotion, the trophy cup, the mansion in Bali, or whatever] and decides to marry some boring person from a small town.
