By the time a movie is made the original writer is either fired or moved out of scripting. A director puts their vision into the cuts and the editor gets to do their version. Most "metaphors" in major pictures are backfilling as the story is often drastically different from the initial intent of the original writer after handfuls of people have had their say, including executive notes. Studious sell tickets and ads, metaphors sell neither. Visuals and characters sell.
It's a negative view, but closer to reality. There are exceptions, but it makes me cringe when people try to back in higher level BS thinking the story has had a single curator cultivating a specific metaphor.
I wish they did the game show thing of explain briefly the rules at each stage. I didn't ever watch the first episode and feel like I'm really missing out on some stuff.
Good premise. Jess isn't used to having a second person on screen it feels like. Seems more used to doing her own twitch stream maybe. Just need to relax and be more natural/not try as hard.
