Why did the 2019 movie Uncut Gems resonate so much with left twitter and chapo? I remember everyone losing their shit when that came out.

    you can describe that to many films released that year. the question is why Uncut Gems spread at a high speed internet and what does that reflect on the larger left cultural discourse around that time

      what other mainstream films that year can you ascribe that to

        Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Parasite, The Irishmen etc.

        The point is that its just a list of descriptions that can be applied anywhere, it does not tell us about the film or what it ideologically represents.

          okay but like two of those had as if not more influence on the online left compared to uncut gems :joker-troll: :proletariat:
