what do we do when we conform fully into modernisation?
what do we as a collective become once everything becomes modern?

playtime doesn't directly asks this qeustion yet it does.
its camera is always the observer, we do follow characters but we and the camera are never part of their life, we are the watchers of a place that is as sleek as it is soulles. we're already gravitating towards conformity with clothes, shoes and entertainment, in the year 2026, films have become largely a popularity contest where directors like nolan and pta are mostly held at a high position. you like something else? well you aren't part of the larger conversation.
maybe it is a reach but there is a basis of conformity within entertainment and art. but also our homes and clothes have become increasingely similaire either due to fear or harrasment because of others.
