Timothee Chalamet to Marty Supreme director Josh Safdie: “Josh, you made a story about a flawed man with a relatable dream, and you didn’t preach to the audience about what’s right and wrong. And I think we should all be telling stories like that.”
But of course, Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another did preach to the audience “about what’s right and wrong”, and look where that got him! Gloriously brave POC girlbosses vs. racist, constipated, starched-fatigue, Christmas Adventurer asshats like Sean Penn‘s Colonel Lockjaw. No ambiguity about the identity of the good guys and bad guys there…no sir!
