Original caption

This proves that Tom Cruise’s new movie is framed for social media!!… if you ignore everything else in frame & cherry pick shots that support that narrative. Turns out you can put a 9x16 grid over anything & claim “framed for social media!!!!” because putting your subject in the center of frame is a concept way older than phones. #movies #animation #disney #education #tomcruise
