“Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook, or tie down its tongue with a rope? Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak to you with gentle words? Nothing on Earth is its equal. It is king over all that are proud.”
A little history lesson:

Obviously I don’t think all movies should look and feel the same. But if all movies looked and felt like this, I would not complain. I’m not entirely sure what to write.. it’s fucking otherworldly! Well, for us normal human beings it’s otherworldly for Swedish people I expect this is just your average Tuesday.
Overall,

This doc summarized: Some people have homes, some people are homeless, homeless = poor and dirty and so many homeless in USA - not good! 😡 - here’s footage of homeless people for proof. We at multi-billion dollar corporation not out-of-touch we promise.
They’re just pointing out an issue. And oh my god the interviews 😫 they’re presenting it like we’ve never heard about homelessness before. Maybe contribute something new? Present a possible solution? Teach us something! You know since you’re nominated for a fucking Oscar and all.
Fuck you Netflix,
