I'm not quite sure how to phrase it. You listed, like five amazing experiences, and five other pleasant ones. Is that "so many amazing experiences"? "Multiple identifiable amazing experiences", since amazing experiences are subjective (and hopefully always occurring, whether we recognize them or not)? In any event, I am inspired and informed, as I have not seen any of the movies, and had to look up Chesterton.

John McWhorter wrote about "American Fiction" a month ago and I think his thoughts were very much in line with what you wrote about its not transcending stereotype, for all its incisiveness.
