But, like, a high fashion quality, too, where it was, like, Christy Smith, I think, is the name of the brand, and Moore's label is, like, the most expensive label, which is why they target her label for all this boosting, which is, like, one part kind of social terrorism, one part statement-making, one part couture acquisition, you know?

And it's kind of all of these things, and so he's kind of digging into...

I think a really interesting psychological collision, which is even if you want to make dramatic change in the world, you still, like, fly shit.

Like, that's a cool idea.

You know, that there's something that

even for Boots, who we ran into in Vegas, right?

And still, like, you know, he is a very fashion-forward person.

Like, he is somebody who's thinking about the way that you present, and that's baked into this idea.

But everything that he does is undergirded by the power of collectivist social change.

And the movie ends with, like, a very literal...

of the way in which he wants to see the world change.

And I would say that I found it a little boiled down ultimately, like how he saw the world changing, and a little bit kind of oversimplified to communicate the message.

I agree with what you're saying, which is that in the minor moments, like in Kiki Palmer's performance, the movie is a lot of fun.

Yeah.

I think... There's, like, a couple of movies I thought about.

Like, John Carpenter's They Live, I feel like, was a huge influence on this movie that has, like, a big reveal kind of in the second half of the film that I thought was...

very clever and that's certainly not a subtle movie either like the message that that movie is sending to you is pretty profoundly like we're all being tricked and there's only one way to break the code here but

As a movie-watching experience, I just felt myself outside of it a lot of the time.

And it wasn't because I disagreed with its political point of view or anything like that.

It was more like, you know when a movie is trying to have a tone, and there's an absence of pacing, and you can feel it kind of moving in a shambolic way.
