Fascinating take, James! Harmony Korine really is cut from a different cloth. And it's funny you included a picture of Hideo Kojima—I was thinking about how Death Stranding is so unapologetic and also in a category of its own. And it definitely channels the ethos of 'Dark Mode'. Kojima has stated that the game's development was influenced by the bleak political climate at the time (including Trump). He was tapped in to this cultural mood change so early.
Yes Kojima is so good with that! Wow I never knew that he was referencing the political climate through the games development, very cool. I'm so interested to see what happens with the A24 Death Stranding hook up, it'll be an interesting experiment to try and turn the game into a film.
