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.

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.
