Film/Game Correlation

I found the film to be quite interesting, just in general. What I thought was neat was how philosophical, in a sense, it was in regards to the world fictional media.
To correlate with the game I'm playing, being Warhammer online, I would say the story or plot of the game as well as the characters and setting seem to be most relevant to the film. For example, the plot for the game is based around some positive humanistic qualities, such as courage, bravery, sacrifice, and dedication. The general story, from what I have been able to gather, is a group of people fighting to save and protect their land against a fierce group of warrior-like people who are "relentless" in their efforts to cause destruction. In addition to this, especially from what I saw in the film, I believe that the game can teach people these humanistic qualities. Furthermore, as noted in reference to Star Wars, the movie covers aspects of psychology and philosophy. I believe this pertains to my game also. The most apparent aspect of psychology relating to the game, as it is based around war, would be meeting the basic need(s) for survival. In relation to philosophy, the game brings up the question of morality, as well as the meaning of life.
