'More Homo Argentum than the movie': the video on X of an overflowing theater that's already a sensation on social media

Amid the phenomenon that Homo Argentum represents at the Argentine box office, a video began circulating on X and quickly went viral. The footage shows a packed theater reacting enthusiastically during one of the film's screenings.

From the @elduckpost account, the user shared a video in which, although it is not specified where Guillermo Francella's film was screened, an unusual situation occurs. The footage belongs to a user who shared it on her profile with the title: "When you go to the movies and experience the most 'Homo Argentum' moment of all the stories in the film combined."

The recording shows how, due to ticket sales exceeding the number of available seats, extra chairs were added so that viewers could sit. Far from complaining about the lack of space, the audience settled in without protest and prepared to enjoy the screening.

Momentos desopilantes que genera Homo Argentum.

The viralization of the audiovisual material occurs in a context of intense discussions surrounding the work of Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn. Meanwhile, some Kirchnerist figures criticize the successful film starring Francella, while other voices call for taking advantage of the phenomenon to open a broader debate about Argentine cinema and the current political-cultural framework under Javier Milei's government.

Beyond the specific details of the screening, what this video shows is that Homo Argentum not only breaks audience records in theaters, but also sparks widespread emotions and demonstrates to what extent a film can become a social event.
