I enjoy the camaraderie of everyone on the ferry. Nothing unites a group of people like all having the same shitty commute.

You know what more sex thrillers need? The computer graphics VR sequence from Lawnmower Man.

I actually liked this movie quite a bit. Not cause of this whole assault situation is common (rare cases should still be represented in film, I’d just like it to be realistic) but because the last 25 minutes made me realize that this was all a game. A game everyone was playing for the promotion and while I don’t think SA is a game or should be treated as such, I’m actually impressed by how far they were willing to go.
My problems with the film are that his wife is just kinda there, we never really see her deal with what the recording meant she just happened to be okay with everything at the end. Tom kinda felt like he believed all the stuff he was saying. The stuff with his assistant was moved on from too quickly. Demi Moore’s character felt cartoonishly evil, not really grounded in realism.
Considering all these problems it’s strange that I’m rating it higher than a 2 but here we are.

Beyond the sexist anxiety about women entering positions of power and men getting (mis)treated the way women have been, Disclosure spends a lot of time reckoning with the physical body’s relationship to power and technology. In other words, hardware and software. Meredith says in her speech that the technology they’re working on offers everyone “freedom from the physical body” by way of sharing information directly. Technology does play a factor in digitally separating one from their identity, but it’s fascinating that Tom is initially attacked physically and Tom is seemingly framed for hardware issues. These attempts at destroying him are emphasized by the distortion of information. We are not free from the physical body yet, so for now, the electronic world is just another frontier we exist on. Hardware and software.
