I saw the movie a few weeks ago -- I appreciate it even more after your thoughtful analysis. It reminded me of The Hunger Games, which is now more than ever a metaphor for our society.
Thank you, Carolyn. The Hunger Games comparison feels less metaphorical every year, especially in the way spectacle keeps people entertained while cruelty becomes policy. I’m glad my analysis gave you another way into the film.
