Well said. Social media is a curse. For every sincere voice with a knowledgeable, interesting opinion there's a mountain of stupidity, click farming and political pandering. We need more maniacs with a vision making cinema
A common pattern I’ve noticed on social media: a reductive narrative about a film will become a meme almost, then thousands of people parrot that narrative instead of forming their own opinions. Hard for unique movies to thrive or find their audience in that kind of environment
I wonder, at what point does alleged "satire" become so subtle that it stops being something a director can reasonably claim as the correct interpretation? If 90% of your audience doesn't get that it's satire, is your film being misinterpreted? Or did you just create a work of art that was a different film from what you initially intended?
A good question. Especially given that “it’s satire” has always been an easy defence - for filmmakers and fans - when the work is painted in a way they don’t like
@@WildFlicks I think often when a filmmaker interprets their own work, they're really interpreting the film that they intended to make, vs. the film that they actually did make
"Do you really need Martin Scorsese to tell you that's bad?!" That's just too good 🤣

@@WildFlicks Yup. That too. And the need for every observation to be prefaced with "In my opinion...."
Great video, and I say that as one of the only Blonde fans on this platform.
Thanks man - haha you might be in better company in 5-10 years, it is a film I could see having a cult resurgence.
This is perfect, thank you.
Nice one
