nithya raman's colleagues on the city council don't like her because she has correctly counseled them to not oppose housing developments that will win in court anyway

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

@TheKayBguy @kettlevinyl Every character in the film intentionally lies, we get the scene of Nathan changing the words Holmes said in her favor live with AS, no reason to believe he hasn’t been doing that in the editing room or subconsciously, and she outright accuses him of intentionally lying

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

@TheKayBguy @kettlevinyl if that’s the case it’s a q of whether lance and director Nathan are willing to let character “director Nathan” achieve that goal w/ wholesale invention hidden in plain sight (which there is textual evidence for!)

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

@TheKayBguy @kettlevinyl ehhhhh it depends if you think the idea of the film is that Nathan is both depicting someone fully engulfed by the deception while being observed by lance (proxy via celeb actress)

@cubsncards @RyanRadia @maxdubler I’m not sure how I feel about it but I find it troubling when an industries profits are mostly driven by addiction

Whether the solution is to increase the supply of medical interventions for addiction, subsidies for addiction treatment, idk, but it’s not a normal market!

@BrettWatches How did you come to believe that?

[nathan fielder @nathanfielder]

Us millennials got to stick together

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

@kettlevinyl yes this is a theme of the film but my second tweet I think is a non-fatalistic clarification, I think even the text of the film asks us to wonder if Nathan is inventing stuff wholesale (as he has done repeatedly throughout his career)

mid-movie, movie isn't mid, it's great

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

I clocked this mid movie too

[jane ~ in SF @jane_gatsby]

yes.

she is also very clearly anxious/codependent/devoted in a way that makes it easy for partners to take advantage of her

& she is an aquarius (i clocked this mid-movie) - which lends credence to her "it can run any test" wording being a consequence of her future-oriented mindset, not an intentional manipulation

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

nathan fielder has from the start explored 'reality show' dynamics and You Can See Everything is still part of that

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

reminds me a lot of the family visit episodes of 'the bachelor' in which the illusion of the show is invariably shattered by watching parents be absolutely terrified of what their kid is doing to themselves

(with the exception of 'the golden bachelor')

[matthew ellis @matthiasellis]

As much as YCSE is about everything on the surface it’s also very much about what the Internet and multimedia has done to language and communication itself. Some of the strangest scenes are when Holmes’ parents are there and can’t seem to even fit into the conversations being had

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

one of the achievements of 'survivor' is that every family visit is 100% enthusiastic, and i was shocked to find that 'love island' family visits dodge this too. they can follow along live, so they too can be seduced by the narrative the editors sell - about their own kids.

Platfight was awesome. What a weekend

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

@nataliapetrzela it's the nature of cognition and knowing on trial here, tv shows are just downstream of that

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

@nataliapetrzela every time you gossip about a friend you are engaging in a 'fictionalized recreation of a true event,' just to a lesser degree than 'the dropout' or liz's bf running her twitter. but if our issue creating characters of others and then 'puppeting' them, there is no escape.

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

@kettlevinyl i think it's entirely possible that the recreations run the whole gamut of 'very close to what happened' to 'completely made up' there's no textual reason why nathan wouldn't be willing to do that whole range (not saying he did, just that he wants us to think he could've)

[jackzilla @jackzilla]

@kettlevinyl how could you possibly know this?
