Given Jessica Chastain's filmography (Zero Dark Thirty, this, and probably another few Homeland-type shows) I'm leaning towards her being a real CIA agent assigned to create manufactured consensus products in Hollywood.
This could be a pretty good comedy though, if the main character infiltrates a wignat organization and gets a bunch of fellow undercover feds arrested because they make up 60% of the membership.
I was going to comment on Chastain & Zero Dark Thirty as well.
I was very late to seeing that movie, but watched it in the last year or two.
They took a Seal Team Six biopic and completely fictionalized it with a bullshit plot where Chastain is an unhinged maverick CIA agent chasing cold & overlooked Osama Bin Laden leads. The whole cloth character & narrative is completely conjured & fake. Just so Chastain can girlboss for 2 hours.
The movie made me so angry. Even more so when I read about how everything in the supposed hagiography was completely made up.
And in contrast, the secondary female CIA character gets blown to smithereens in an Afghani car bomb meetup gone wrong. So what the fuck was the point of that juxtaposed to Chastain's Mary Sue? Sympathy? Proof of how dangerous girlbossing can be?
The second female CIA agent in the film makes a cake for the fake doctor she's trying to bring in as an asset. Is the message supposed to be that the feminine has no place in the Land of Wolves that is the CIA?
