Michael B. Jordan

Yes.

Who's right?

He's critical of it.

That thing goes on to be the biggest musical ever, and yet he thinks this thing doesn't deserve the praise it's getting.

What I see the movie is about is it's a moment in American history where we're right in the middle of war, we're winning the war, and we start this process of self-mythologizing ourselves as a country.

It's a musical.

It's called Oklahoma.

That is not the story of the Oklahoma territory, all right?

Girls in gingham dresses saying, I can't say no is not the story of America, OK?

All right?

And we start doing this thing where we believe our own narrative about us as a hero.

And it does a lot of good.

And it makes a lot of people really happy.

And it feels really good.

And what my character sees is the start of a lie of being nostalgic for a world that never existed.

And so the movie's kind of spinning around.

It's not just it is a night in the life, but it's an important night in art history.

Jazz age is ending.

Something else is starting.

I think it was Hitchcock who said, Sound of Music set cinema back 20 years.
