I mean, I wrote my notes.

I mean, she begins at Mar-a-Lago, boarding a plane.

She goes to New York.

She gets fitted for her inauguration clothes.

You can see Brett Ratner as the director, and we can get into him for a moment later.

But you can see him desperate for action and for drama because there's a scene where a costume assistant has to try and cut her blouse with scissors and their hand is sort of trembling with fear.

From there, she goes...

to Washington, she goes to Jimmy Carter's funeral, she goes to St.

Patrick's Cathedral and talks a little bit about losing her mother, she goes back to Washington, back to Mar-a-Lago, there's the inauguration, she goes to three balls.

That's it.

That's really all there is.

Yeah, there's an interesting backstory to that.

So Kate Bennett wrote a book called Free Melania.

And she wrote up her theory, which is that whenever Melania Trump is annoyed at Donald, she dresses in menswear because he prefers this very feminine aesthetic of dresses and, you know, pink and women being extra feminine.

So Kate Bennett writes about how in 2018, the year that the Stormy Daniels scandal came out, Melania wore a lot of tailoring clothes.

There were a lot of suits, a lot of pinstripe that year.

So I found that interesting in the context of this movie where she is, again, wearing quite formal, quite tailored masculine clothing.

But no, I think the things that were fascinating about this movie, maybe fascinating is the wrong word, mildly interesting.

You see how much she exists in this bubble.

And it seems to be a real bubble that I would say is probably one that many famous and ultra-rich and ultra-privileged people live in where there's no friction.
