Both films use courtroom and interrogation settings to blur the line between performance and reality, trapping characters within narratives they can't fully control or escape.

Todd Phillips' operatic staging of mental illness and courtroom spectacle parallels Billy Wilder's baroque approach to legal procedure, where both films weaponize theatrical presentation against rational judgment.
