A comment on Netflix Film Booed at Cannes Film Festival.

TL;DR - The film was playing in the wrong aspect ratio for 10 minutes, people booed, and they restarted it with the correct aspect ratio. The Netflix logo did draw some boos on both starts... but people cheered the technical problem getting fixed, and the film received warm applause at the end.

Sheesh, even the BBC is using clickbait headlines now?!? I've lived too long.

BBC also reports "Cannes Film Festival said: "This incident was entirely the responsibility of the Festival's technical service, which offers its apologies to the director and his team, to the producers and the audience". So maybe "Cannes Film Festival Booed during Netflix Movie"?

Was my thought too after reading the article. The BBC! Clickbait! Where do we even go from here?
