Is it just me or is the phrase "human beings" used more often than simply "humans"? I've just started to notice this: the next word after "human" is very often "beings".

Somehow "human beings" seems to emphasize the "human spirit/soul".
Yes. There are lots around; whenever the original word becomes too short for the importance people want to give it. Tuna fish, chai tea, Enter the room -> enter “into” the room, French: hui (today) -> aujourd’hui (day of today) Keyword: pleonasm
Also French: je ne sais (I don’t know) → je ne sais pas (I don’t know a step)

A quick search revealed the film is freely available on Youtube with English subtitles. It's a great film and thankful for floor796 in revealing it as well as being an amazing work of art.

And recently even dropping the negation itself while keeping the meaning: “je sais pas”
I never thought about that. Interesting. This negation related cycle is apparently called Jespersen’s cycle and happens in many languages. The English equivalent
I say not -> I “do” not say -> I don’t say. -> ?
