Look at the victims in Get Out and compare that to the experience of the John Cusack character at the end of Being John Malkovich. I think they are in similar hells.<br /><br />I'm doing all right. Thanks so much for asking, Sophie. I am thinking I might have a real vacation by autumn of this year. Maybe I'll do it sooner :)Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311639261006039432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-11068545863542251912017-03-24T09:24:12.072+00:002017-03-24T09:24:12.072+00:00Oh really, that's interesting.

I didn't get that from it myself - is there a particular scene in Being John Malkovich you think it reminds you of?<br /><br />I really like Bradley Whitford, I think he's especially good in Cabin in the Woods also. <br /><br />Thanks very much :) Yes I start on the 3rd April after my Berlin trip. I'm very excited but also very nervous as it's completely different to my current place and role. <br /><br />Hope you're keeping well :)Sophie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849135026944731332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-69456201249314470782017-03-23T22:48:20.267+00:002017-03-23T22:48:20.267+00:00I am so pleased you enjoyed this movie (as did I),...I am so pleased you enjoyed this movie (as did I), Sophie! �� I guess the way to describe the underlying racial tension when Chris meets the parents is something is which a person might feel uncomfortable because although there is a denial of racism, the subject of race is somehow still at the forefront of conversation.<br /><br />Besides the references to The Stepford Wives, Rosemary's Baby, and Trier's Manderlay, I think there is a reference to another great film - Being John Malkovich (1999) - which also has the excellent Catherine Keener in its cast. Getting caught in "the sunken place" is extremely creepy. It's a nice touch to also have Bradley Whitford who was extremely good in the The West Wing. I know Daniel Kaluyya from Black Mirror (I enjoyed his episode a lot) and he and Lil Rel Howery as his TSA agent friend do a really good job.<br /><br />Oh, I came across this short video on how bad graphic design contributes to many problems including what happened at the Oscar's, the 2000 American election, and mixups over prescription bottles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZSe4xVXHhI I found it very interesting and maybe Jack (as a graphic designer) would find it interesting as well as you.<br /><br />Oh, I noticed you mentioned something about a new job on your twitter so let me say Congratulations! �� And Best wishes to you, Sophie! ��<br /><br />London is such a wonderful place and there are so many people who love and support the people in it, including me.Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311639261006039432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-25695912226163865682017-03-23T09:17:19.846+00:002017-03-23T09:17:19.846+00:00It was fantastic - really hope you like it! xxIt was fantastic - really hope you like it! xxSophie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849135026944731332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-24558954439090789622017-03-23T09:17:01.291+00:002017-03-23T09:17:01.291+00:00I know!
