"You are watching a movie" has two implications (that I can think of).
First, it implies actors, actresses and a script.
What if the letter that everyone got at Bush's funeral was the script?
Example:
Act 4
…
Trump: Hold's rally protesting election interference.
Pence: Certify election.
Schumer: Call Zuckerburg and have Trump's account disabled.
Pelosi: Invoke 25th Amendment
…
The second implication is that we are watching something that is like a movie. In this second version, there are no actors and actresses and there are no scripts. But there are plot twists and interesting habbenings. The end is still undecided. Bad guys aren't really known yet.
I'm curious which of the two everyone thinks is happening.
