And man this movie is so great. The lighting, the direction, the smart writing, the music, the dark theme they don't shy away from. So much fun.

I'd never wanted to see it because I love the original too much and would find it hard to judge the film for what it is. Still, there are quite a few parallels with the current situation. ☝️
