I assumed it was covid at first, but then I realised how long it takes to make a movie and it came out too soon... It was just that accurate.
Funny how a lot of criticism was about how it was "too on the nose", but really, it still seems to have gone over people's heads
I don't get that criticism. Being on the nose and over the top is a stylistic choice that can be really wonderful. I mean look at Bong Joon-Ho's movies. They are all extremely on the nose. It seems like critics just have a smug preference for subtlety and ambiguity
Right, but it can also be obnoxious to beat over the head with the same concept over and over. ]
I don't know why you ascribe smugness to it, someone that watches movies for a living is obviously gonna prefer films that don't waste time telling the audience something more than necessary.
Since the audience seems to miss the same point over and over again, it might be less than necessary
Or they might be the wrong audience, a little of column A and B. Of course the arts are about communication, which requires effort on both parties, so each side bears some of the blame. But "we need to create something so obvious that nobody will miss it" just ends up producing people who are more oblivious. The computer simplification trends of the 2000s and 2010s resulted in a generation that knows even less about technology.
