#(both grew up lower class but nancy had a much better support system and stable personal life that tonya did not)

[navree]

i tonya is always a movie i'm gonna be annoyed exists, not cuz i dislike it (it's fine, its' not great but it's adequate and it has its moments) but because i have a vision in my head of a movie about that whole mess that is never gonna come to fruition because there's already been a major motion picture about it

#personal #like a) i'd love to have a more even focus on nancy as well as tonya and paralleling the stuff going on with them #cuz there were similarities but also points where paths diverged #(both grew up lower class but nancy had a much better support system and stable personal life that tonya did not) #plus leave it more ambiguous whether or not tonya was actually involved and do a lot more of the he said she said aspect #that i tonya sorta had but didn't really do anything with all that much #and also i'd really love to focus on the media ecosystem at the time #and the way the media specifically reacted to the entire thing #cuz there's this one moment at the end of i tonya that i liked but did not feel at all earned in that movie #where the news finally moving on from the attack and aftermath is juxtaposed with the beginning of coverage of oj simpson getting arrested #this other major news event of the 90s that had a lot of sensationalism and breathless media coverage and 24 hour news cycle thing #and if the movie had focused on that at all it could be really good #so yeah that's my whinge for the night #idk i'm a youngster so i'll still be around the next time a major anniversary of it pops up so maybe in 2044
