@DiscussingFilm Seeing something that old next to a modern blockbuster promo is wild. Makes you wonder how many hands this story has passed through before reaching Nolan’s version.

He said it was a test of loyalty, three braids pinned, three axe throws to decide her fate. Hit the braids, she’s loyal; hit her, she’s guilty; miss, and she still pays the price. 😭
