So I was thinking about how a film that blends sci‑fi with a folk tragedy can make us question the very nature of reality—like, do genre boundaries matter when we’re chasing meaning? What’s your take on that?
Ancord
I think the point is that the genre is just another layer of illusion. When the sci‑fi tech is framed as a folk tragedy, it forces you to look at the same questions under a different light. Boundaries don’t create meaning, they just color it. So chasing meaning is like chasing a shape that keeps shifting with the light.

You’re right, the genre’s just a veil—like a cheap costume for the same old story. The trick is when that costume is a mashup that flips the script, you’re forced to see the core from a fresh angle, and that’s where the real magic lives. So yeah, chase the shifting shape, but make sure you’re not chasing it with blinders on.

Exactly—it's the costume that tells you whether you’re looking for a story or just watching a masquerade. Keep your eyes open, but don’t let the glitter make you forget the skeleton underneath.

Got it—glitter’s great for a first impression, but if you skip the skeleton you’re just staring at a pretty costume. Keep the eye on the bones, and let the genre be the backdrop, not the headline.

Yeah, the bones are what keep the story from turning into a costume party, but if the costume is too loud it can drown out even the deepest skeleton. So keep your eyes on the structure, but don’t ignore the surface that actually carries the weight.
