Maybe they got a C because they don't understand punctuation? Seriously, it was hard to read this tweet...

I don't understand how someone writes without periods. Is their mind one long run-on sentence?

IDK, I see two periods, but they're right next to each other so it's wrong. I'll give it a C.

they paused for a couple seconds, that's punctuation.

The professor couldn't admit they enjoyed reading something else after 150 essays that said the same stuff with the same sources. They did however have a good laugh at the 4 kids whose papers were all the exact same.

If it’s a film essay and good then I would be annoyed with more than 1 grade letter knock down. I would absolutely expect a ding against me due to not following instructions but having failure on the table is excessive.

One of the main lessons of school is following directions, so disagree here.

I'm not sure I agree that failure should be off the table. Essays aren't assigned without context and if this guy was assigned a paper on a recently-made short film and wrote one about an old Disney movie, they weren't paying attention

I would agree for high school students, but assuming "professor" means college level, they need to follow those instruction. Granted, there are plenty of absolutely fuckwit college instructors/professors, but the fact that it wasn't an immediate fail reflects pretty positively on this one.
