And so yeah, that was a key inspo.
And then I became so curious about the power play that was happening underneath that one roof.
Because
Of course, millennials are going to regress.
As soon as you go back home, you kind of become your worst teenage self to a certain degree.
And so it's like, what's happening under that roof and how is that power play kind of unfolding?
And then the more I kind of like pulled at those threads, it became really apparent that's a great microcosm for kind of to represent what's happening in Australia kind of more broadly.
Oh, 100%.
Like, in a way that's kind of complicated.
And I try to address that in the film that, like, I represent both the baby boomers' perspective as well as the millennials.
Like, nobody comes out unscathed.
The millennials in this film do come off looking pretty entitled and, like...
Yeah, it's a satire.
You've got to poke fun at everyone.
But there's a lot of resentment, but it's complex resentment in that, you know, you still love your baby boomer parents, even though you're like, but your generation like crippled the whole housing market.
But there's still this kind of like...
I don't know, like a deep desire to kind of earn their respect and make them proud and kind of do all those things in growing up.
And so, yeah, it's a complicated resentment, which I think what made it so right for the film that it's not so straightforward as to kind of like pit one side against the other.
I mean, it's really just about this kind of mantra that the baby boomer father in the film kind of lives by, which is this hard work mentality, which is kind of a really kind of core capitalist ideal.
This understanding that we live, you know, from Richard the baby boomer's perspective, we live in a meritocracy and so hard work will be rewarded.
