It's the cinematography problem

 I have complained in the past about modern films which are deliberately filmed dark or with ugly cinematography (especially Disney recent films like AWIT or nutcracker but also in films such as the Green Knight)  where the cinematography and costume designs/ color decisions are bad.

In contrast, Hallmark films and K Dramas have decent cinematography.

So when even the BBC notes that Dark Biden made a speech where his handlers didn't consider the background it makes you wonder who planned this speech which was billed as Biden trying to unite the divided country.

Don't they have friends from Hollywood who know how to light and frame the speech? When you lose the BBC (which otherwise is trying to make the article pro Biden), you know you have a problem.

From the BBC:

On television, however, the mood came across a bit differently. The close focus of the camera meant the president was only framed in the dark red portions of the building. It made it look as though he were delivering his speech from the gates of hell - a mood only accentuated by the darker moments of his text.

from Instapundit: 

ED MORRISSEY: WaPo columnist: Biden delivered a great “wartime address,” eh?

Question: With whom is the United States currently at war?

...So if this is a “wartime address,” as Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson described it to Joe Scarborough on MSNBC’s Morning Joewho’s the enemy?

Since I pray the rosary, I am part of the enemy of course, even though I didn't vote for Trumpieboy and am a registered Democrat. Because the demonization of believing Catholics is being done.

and no I didn't watch Biden's speech: I have a life and live in the Philippines so rarely watch US news reports. 

the Babylon Bee is having a field day.
