One choice I didn’t like were the colour-graded recreations of January 6th. They had these dusty desaturated scene of mostly fit looking guys charging. The choice wraps the riot in gravitas and meaning that I don’t think it deserves. It would have been better to show the real footage of all the idiots livestreaming themselves doing crimes.

Was kinda cool to see the pandemic depicted in film although they didn’t lean into it that much. Just a few masks on a few people sometimes. It’s a shame I haven’t seen reality acknowledged like that in other movies. Most films take place in this fake timeless mirror universe that seemed to fork from our own 15 years ago.
