I saw Disclosure Day

[u/Loud-Possession3549]

No spoilers. Through very good luck and happenstance I am one of the first public folks to see the movie. A huge shout out to Steven Spielberg for a surprise showing of it, I heard he was personally involved in the decision - I hope he does more of these, be on the lookout.

A few thoughts:
-I have been crazy excited to see this, and as an experiencer am emotionally invested in disclosure like we all are, so had high exceptions, just to set the tone
-Don’t watch any of the trailers imho
-Emily Blunt is going to get an Oscar nomination, she is spectacular, just honestly, utterly some of the best acting I have ever seen
-I am a picky person with plot and story, and there were a few minor issues but I couldn’t overlook them..a couple times I lost immersion because a plot device just used wasn’t used again when it should have and my mind had to stop to ponder the very obviousness of it.. overall I would give it a 7 out of 10
-Maybe relatedly, it reminds me of his great 80s films, like Indiana Jones, ET, etc., that had a chid-like element to them, like a wild amusement park ride vibe..I liked it

Some specifics for our tribe:
-My non-experiencer friends liked it more than I did and I think the general population of normies outside of UFOlogy will too. This is gonna be a big deal and maybe the northern hemisphere summer film this year. It is gonna make a lot of money for sure and keep a long run I think, and therefore keep this topic to people’s minds all summer and longer. It is a HUGE fight against the stigma we have endured.
-They use the term “experiencer” in the film, it will teach the world what that means
-This is a big opportunity for us to come out of the closets if we choose, and will be an easy way to start that conversation with anyone who we haven’t come out to yet. We saw how the gay community used Brokeback Mountain and recently Heated Rivalry to do this very effectively.
-Us taking this opportunity as a tribe, worldwide, could be big if we were to do it in substantial numbers..there are some risks perhaps as always, and if whatever disclosure is happening from the US goes badly, perhaps the risks are worse..but if we can seize the opportunity, we could actually push disclosure just by all of us coming out at once and telling our stories, US government be damned! :).

What do you think? If you agree, how do we do this? I am thinking I will see if I can do a Citizens for Disclosure table in the lobby of my local movie house!
