Even though that wasn&#8217;t exactly correct, it was enough to suck most of the mystery out of the film. Also, the other film was better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One major difference between the two: the plot here requires all of the unknowing participants to act in very specific ways or the whole plan fails. It&#8217;s not exactly a brilliant plan if it could get wrecked by someone deciding to hide in a different room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tonight&#8217;s fake poster is a bit of a rush job, but I think it references the original pretty well. Malkovich&#8217;s eyes don&#8217;t hold quite the same kind of menace as the originals, though&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/opus-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A poster for Opus parodying the poster for Amadeus\" class=\"wp-image-2579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/opus-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/opus-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/opus-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/opus.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This movie had a shocking lack of large-nosed cartoon penguins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2583,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":10,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"federated","footnotes":""},"categories":[161,63,20],"tags":[261,78,260,10,38],"class_list":["post-2581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-pass-adventures","category-movies","category-photoshop","tag-amadeus","tag-movies","tag-opus","tag-photoshop","tag-totally-completely-real"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2581"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2584,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581\/revisions\/2584"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
