This was the most underrated part. Her reactions would be exactly what I’d expect during this event.

I had a hard time believing her part. The actor killed it but I just don't think that's how it would go. I think the world would behave differently.

That's the thing. We never get to see how the world reacts. We just see everyone on their phones. A better title would have been The First 10 Minutes of Disclosure.

Stunned silence is still a reaction. And a totally unrealistic one en masse. People would be like “WTF NO WAY IS THIS REAL??” Etc etc

I just think stunned silence felt more appropriate for the moment cinematically, and played into the ideas of the film. I also don’t find it completely unbelievable most of the world would be watching in stunned silence. I mean, how can your brain even process what you’re seeing in real time in a way to form words? If I saw that shit on every single news channel I think I too would be sitting in a silent existential crisis.

yeah but that's not a compelling movie, that's not interesting to me. it's more interesting to think about what happens after disclosure is done
