@georgia @lain @rizzo @shmibs yea like on the girls soccer team. Practices you just wear the shortest of booty shorts and cutoff stuff. We didnt practice in a heavily watched area but also comeon, ik some of their parents and its crazy the dissonance that lets that fly

@lain @Moon @shmibs Being about "late-stage capitalism" does not make it 'anti-rich' though. As you said, the poor people are 'evil'. Its said in the movie, by one of those evil people, "the rich can afford to be good people". Whether that is true or not is a different discussion. Whether their behavior is fully, partially, or not at all justified is a different discussion. The main point is how those characters have begun to feel and behave based on their environment. Thats why I think anti-rich sentiment, if the author intended it, would even be dumb. I think the result we got is rather non-opinionated. There are characters formed, in some way, by their environment and they respond to it in their own ways. Judgement calls after that really of no proper place in source.Random 2 cents. This is why I'm glad I'd never seen the director before and didnt read anyone else's opinions about its themes before I watched, so I didnt feel a need to affix values to the characters as I watched.

@lain @Moon @shmibs I think the claim that it is "anti-rich" is probably the most surface-level, brain dead way of understanding its themes. Not that I can say what the writer at any point is thinking definitively, it definitely doesnt seem "anti-rich"...
