What is the right answer?

Yeah.

Are beautifully written.

And then you just wish that you had a cast that was communicating this perfectly.

But there is nuance and complication in Munich that there is not in Disclosure Day.

And so the did he go to Kushner first is an interesting theory.

And you wonder whether Kushner would have said no because...

It doesn't speak to him.

Maybe he's like me where it's just like, oh, aliens, sure, you know, rock on.

Or maybe this is a project where nuance was not the point.

And I don't know.

The other thing that all four of the Kushner movies and most of Spielberg's movies in this past decade are all period pieces.

They're not in the present day.

And that was another thing that struck out to me as I was rewatching was like, oh, there is just something... You age yourself a little bit when you're doing...

The present day, you know, it's just hard not to make that seem a little corny.

I think there's just also... At a certain point, if you're trying to understand the current world, but your references... You have more experience with a previous lived past.

You know, it just...

There's no mediation in between like trying to recreate what you think about this world when you're recreating the exact world.

And so that means that you have to make more choices and be a bit more specific and there's less room for interpretation.

Whereas you can bring it if you set your ideas about the present day in whether it's 70s Europe or, you know, the 2054.
