Is Spiderman's isolation in No way home a reflection of the isolation the world felt during quarantine? If so that is quite subtle.

Reply to New2K2 Haven't seen it but if it is (and it's not just one reading), wouldn't that be an obvious borrowing? Films frequently (and often necessarily) filch from life to help audiences 'recognise' what they are watching. Some writers regard themselves as precocious allegorists.

Reply to Tom Storm lol, I'm not certain if I'm not just reading that into it, which is why I posted it here. I wouldn't say I'm impressed by it but I don't share your disdain.

Reply to New2K2 Wasn't going for disdainful, more like incisive social comment... :razz:
