Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

While I admit my first comment was a bit flippant, I was annoyed at the commenter's.. I'll say it... conceited remarks. That they don't need such paltry details see a film, that a mere wisp of a note of intrigue is enough, and that I, a lowly commoner, am wrong for even thinking such things as plot, or setting, or characters.
Honestly your comment below: "In this gripping thriller...", is what I think the post needed to show what the movie was about. Posting the clip is probably very meaningful if you've seen the movie, but for me who is deciding if I should see it, I have no context of what it is about. I shouldn't have been flippant in my comment, my intention was more "if people are scrolling through and see this for a split second, we won't know what the movie is about", slightly encouraging OP to add some context - but it was the wrong way to do that.
I regret this part of the thread went sideways. I was overly vague — I mentioned my wife and I were stunned into silence for twenty minutes. I’ll say here… we were stunned by the fluidity of a film that presented a horrific turn in American politics not happening sometime in the future or past but right now — we are literally ONE BOOK away from totalitarian despotism where anyone, even MAGAs can be murdered with impunity in their own homes.
Please watch this movie.
I hate to be relegated to cheerleader but this movie has been censored because it presents. Our situation coldly clearly and realistically. And it’s dire.
nah don't regret, we're all good, I should have been less flippant too.
After all of this, I am going to watch it. As a rule anything that's minimized or shamed or generally "they" don't want me to watch usually means I should go watch it. Although, as someone who is fully aware of what is happening right now, opening me up to that much anxiety makes me worry too, and I won't lie after having several family dinners like that clip, I'm nervous... but I'll trust you.
