Not pertinent.

Yet.

Not ever, really.

:::spoiler Movie premise spoiler(?) The movie’s real focus is ethics in wartime journalism. They could’ve been documenting any war and the plot would remain largely the same, including radical local groups taking advantage of the chaos to inflict harm and death. The closest it comes to being vaguely relevant is the suggestion that such a conflict could happen at all in the US. No part of the movie really focuses on the why or how of the conflict - just typical war-torn country stuff. :::

I’m not going to argue the utility of the comment.

I said, didn’t I?, it was a throwaway line — vaguely connected for a 7-minute, TikTok-friendly scene with a cameo by a pretty solid character actor. Anything to keep 10% of readers interested for one more paragraph — this attention economy is the pits.

You seem like a film/media purist. What consumable, catchy, full-length film helps you to make sense of Mr. Toad’s wild ride into authoritarianism?
