On the Waterfront fronts as a story about corruption on in labor union, but it's fundamentally a story about human transformation and development. You get to watch the process of a man-child, a boy in a man's body, become a real man, as well as the people and principles that make this kind of transformation possible. In particular, we get to see the workings of the principle of agape, the god-like care that humans have the ability to manifest which transforms semi-persons into full persons. Also valuable is the movie's portrayal of the productive union of the masculine and the feminine, which we can see as symbolic of what goes on within us, between us, and even at the level of society itself. This video essay delves into these aspects of this fantastic classic film featuring Marlon Brando.
