Yeah, there’s a very large difference between actors on set, alongside some writers and production staff vibing out the plot of Casablanca in the context of the studio system where they churn out polished movies very quickly (and note they didn’t have a finished script so they just shot mostly in sequential order as they finished the script, but they did finish the script by the time they had finished filming). This is soulless corporate slop where the ending (aka the final third Big Battle with Lots of People to Save the Day) is already known and they’re trying to come up with some contrived reason to get to the ending, and therefore will do that and then bring the actors back to say flat lines of dialogue in front of green screen to pad the movie in between the big set pieces. Completely difference context than Casablanca or even Star Wars, where the entire movie was “filmed” and “complete” but only actually came together in a reasonably cohesive plot in editing.
I know it’s pretentious but I do now feel justified looking down on people who like this shit.
Yes, I realize some great artistic films began shooting without a script and just made it up as they went along but this is not that.
