I think anybody seeing this film will never see anything but that.

Again, it's exactly what it looks like.

Redaction ink.

It's amazing.

Another great moment, and this one you can help me read.

Actually, this was my favorite moment in the movie.

When I felt like there was a peak of Melania, she felt sort of grounded to me, is when she, towards the end, you know, they've done the dance, they've gone through the inauguration party, and she looks straight at the camera and she says, here we go again.

After the break, how Melania Trump's film fits into Donald Trump's America.

So the movie premiered at the Kennedy Center.

There was no mainstream press there, just administration officials and tech people.

And then shortly after that, Trump announced he was closing the Kennedy Center for this two-year renovation to build what he called a new and spectacular entertainment complex.

In your head, are these two events connected?

It is like the Trump administration's open wish to control the culture.

And then there's the sort of two possibilities of it.

Like I was thinking on the one hand.

You know, I have read about days when there were state run television, you know, where you'd have like ballets and operas about great administration triumphs and there would be Melania films every day and we could all go see them.

You know, like that is a world we've read about in history.

And it did feel to me like that, like some weird authoritarian future of culture.

On the other hand, like you said, it felt kind of sad.

Like there is no state run television in a world of infinite sources of entertainment.
