Keep going.

Keep going.

No, give me your other part.

Well, I just think that there's... I think that this is a movie...

initially set in Los Angeles by a guy who lives in Los Angeles and has been seeing what has been happening to the city and wondering why his fellow artists aren't doing more to capture it.

And I think that he's thinking both locally and nationally.

And I also wonder...

this is the first movie that he's made in the present.

Yeah.

In, in a long time.

And I, I think punch drunk love might be the, by the last bit might be the last movie he set in the present.

And I, interesting.

You're right.

And I, I, I don't know what like picking up and dropping off the kids looks like for him.

Um,

But, you know, being in some part of Los Angeles on a somewhat regular basis, you're just kind of like, this is a tragedy.

There's like tragedy happening everywhere for no reason other than greed, selfishness, blindness.

Like what, how, what is that connected to?

So this man is thinking systemically.

These systemic problems have been with us for a long time.
