If anything of substance came out of the normie discourse surrounding this film it’s the propagation of those set-photos and the contrast with the drab, desaturated look of the final product. Hours put into painstaking recreations of historical artefacts only to be greyed out in post goes to show its cynical and ideological and not just aesthetic conformity with the rest of the slop of the day.
Didn't watch the film but still enjoyed your thoughts here. The prosaic attitude you describe here extends across most things our culture produces (even fantastical things like recent Star Wars and Matrix)
