 | | Powder is introduced into a tiny Texas community after spending his entire life in his grandparents' basement. |
 | | That's the message of this message film, namely, that all you have to do to be denigrated and dehumanized in most of American society is to be "different." Whether that difference makes you fundamentally superior or inferior to the norm is irrelevant- all that matters is the fact that one is different. |
 | | Powder is peaceful, tragic Christ-figure who is persecuted for being different and, perhaps, for being prophetic and "otherworldly" as well. |
