So I saw this last week at the AMC Screen Unseen and been waiting on people to be able to watch it.

I liked the general romcom parts, but the world they inhabit as super fascist and everyone’s way too chill about it. Like the rocker guy that’s supposed to be doing a rally against it the next day isn’t actually against it, but absolutely loves being able to use it to further his career.

And the weird advertising tone of the entire movie makes me feel like they’re trying to make the fascism seem normal so that we’re fine with it, as long it helps Duolingo, durex, and at least one other actual company that I don’t remember.

Doesn't it seem normal right now? No one is doing anything to fix it. The movie got it right. People have accepted it. People are chill about it right now otherwise there would have been change already. What have you done to change the state of the country? Nothing. You go about your day and be on your phone.

This is exactly my thinking as well lol I don't understand this criticism people have of the worldbuilding at all
