The frame of “applying to jobs” is spiritually humiliating because it makes the job into the subject and the applicant into the object. You’ve cast yourself as a dependent on the Jobs’ generosity. A victim to its judgement.

re: Anora, i feel like some films are more akin to novels, while others to short stories. Often short stories craft a glimpse or vignette of someone where the reader is expected to work to pull the “interiority” from the character from the intentional but limited context

Criticizing a film about lower class characters because it defines them by circumstances and/or plot mechanics instead of giving them any sense of interiority is a bit tricky. There should be a question of what the film is exactly doing with that choice rather than dismissing it.

honestly any real attempt to one to one TLOUII and Israel / Palestine breaks down very quickly and if we didn’t know Druckmann’s background it wouldn’t even occur to most people as a specific point of comparison

Stephen King has been angry at the Kubrick adaptation of The Shining for over 40 years because King saw Jack Torrance as a tragically flawed but decent guy while Kubrick saw the character's actions as those of a narcissistic monster who merely thinks he's a good husband & father.
