And clearly abusive.

But we're not going to go into all these different directions.

The movie's not about the abuse.

It's not about that person.

But see, I thought some of it was, some of the stuff that y'all think was basic, I thought was subtle.

Like, when he first starts, as you said, cleaning the house with Mike, he also called him big nose.

Yeah.

And so calling him big nose to me was like, okay, this shit is deep in my head that I meant something wrong with me.

So by the time he's at the doctor saying why I need it to be symmetrical, it's showing the delusion that he has.

And then when Joe walks up to him and he says, it's for my septum.

It's like they're showing Michael has a self-hate and he's constantly trying to convince the world that there's a real reason for it.

And the nose keeps getting smaller and there's always a new excuse for it.

The nose strip that came on like around an hour and a half.

So to me, it wasn't that they didn't deal with it.

They just expect they expected a lot.

They expected a little bit more of the viewer, which I'm OK with.

But to your point, you shouldn't expect that much from the viewer if you're going to do an A&E Lifetime-style movie.

You got to kind of pick your struggle here.

But I thought they hit that.

I wanted more of the creative stuff.
