Stuck at 65%.

Initial line & color logic completes 53%.

C3: If the black 2 is in R20-21, it makes C4 invalid, so it must be in R17-18 instead. L&CL.

R19: EL places the red 5 in C9-19. L&CL finishes the red.

C29: EL marks R22 and R29-31 black and R14-16 white. LL.

C22: IEL marks R14-18 white.
C23: IEL marks R14-15 white.
C24: IEL marks R14-18 white.

C28: If R32 is black, it makes C27 or C29 invalid. LL.

C30: If the black 3 is placed within R14-17, R14C27 would need to be black, which makes R17C30 white, which makes R14C30 black. This makes R14 invalid, so R14-17 C30 must be white. LL.

C30: EL marks R32 white.

R19: Whether C24 or C26 is black, R20C26 is white.

C30: If R33 is black, R33C28 and R36C28 are both black, which makes C28 invalid. R33C30 must be white instead.

R27: If C27 is black, R33C27 is white and R28C29 is black. If R27C29 is black instead, R28C29 is still black. Minimal LL.

C28: If R33 is black, R33C27 is black. If R36C28 is black instead, R36C27 is white. Either way, R36-37 C27 are white.

R20: Wherever the remaining black 1 is placed, it completes R21. R21 C25-26 are white.

Stuck here for now, currently at 81%

I never intend to make my puzzles "impossible...." (though I sometimes want to do so deliberately one day). I do use the check system to make sure there's a unique solution. I'm wondering if I should make it smaller?

Jota, that's not what I intended. It's a 2023 movie.
