Really good choice. There is also the interesting fact that nature does bend for them and the whirlpool for donations actually spits the religious zealot leader out a side path as if rejected by his own gods for using their name and power for control instead of to protect the citizens which is the point of the hidden city in the first place.

There is a lot of complex relationships in that movie that are more incredible to witness when you can look at them them through a more lived lens.
