Sarah did visit him after he regained consciousness. She wiped his drool. It was a very memorable scene. Hank is short for Henry. And I think she knew about the affair. Him saying “I need to tell you something” made me expect that he was going to confess. Saying he wanted them to be a family instead was a sweet surprise and I let it go.
He didnt say he could - he said he couldn’t. He basically felt inexperienced and shy….he was worried he couldn’t do it like the guy in the movie. Your interpretation and mis-hearing of that one word changes the whole scene. I’m afraid you completely misunderstood what he was saying.
1. It was mentioned by the Grandma that the Mum, Kate was a professor at Yale before losing the baby and battling alcohol addiction and the Dad was an architect. Kate assures him that the client will love his designs as he's leaving for work one morning.
2. Max (young daughter) almost drowned in the pond some time ago so Kate was probably nervous about bathtub water and potential drowning
3. All kids struggle with big changes. He was feeling jealous (Dad was less interested in him over 'new kid' Esther on Xmas day) and bullying (mates paid him out over his 'new sister'). Not having the maturity to identify or deal with such feelings, they lash out.
4. Not sure about that one!
5. Psychos can have talent lol
6. Yeah Dad was under Esther's spell (I gave him props for how he genuinely seemed to love Kate though and he thankfully wasn't a peodophile!)
7. Gotta have suspension of disbelief when watching movies
8. As above
10. And yeah, good point. They were pretty keen to just pretend her life started at the time she was adopted which wasn't right. People have pasts before you meet them.
So the show had people in it. Asian, gay and black people exist - just like privileged white men, racist truck drivers and Karens exist.
It's a movie, not a TV series. If I disliked a pilot of a new TV show and then continued to complain after watching multiple episodes, then I'd see your point. But in this situation, your reply makes no sense. This isn't a negative comment on a film I haven't seen yet. I watched it, developed an opinion as it played out and then I gave it a negative review. I can't choose to unsee it.
Whilst maths is a practical skill that can help one with every day life, poetry is way more than just 'weird talking and shit". In fact, comprehension of the written word helps us understand the world around us. It aids in the development of the mind, encourages critical thinking skills and enables us to articulate our needs and wants in a way that can lead us toward success. The world can be a confusing and scary place, filled with frightening and intimidating people. Having the tools needed to navigate difficult situations and knowing how to express ourselves eloquently can be the difference between failure and success. Not to mention that reading someone else's words and stories can make us feel less alone and misunderstood. Books, music and the spoken word are just as important as science and mathematics.
It was definitely a case of a little subtle CGI. I'm pretty sure t's the standard in film and TV these days. Filters are used so often on apps like TikTok that it's become commonplace. I imagine it's thought of as just another tool like hair and make up.
That was my first thought too but I noticed they gave a little nod to this fact in the scene where Sandra's character is leaving the motel during her book tour. A big banner in the foyer said "Romancing The Page" ;)
I have to agree. I'm so used to Chris Pratt being funny that all of his scenes hit the wrong tone for me. It felt like I was watching a comedic bit filled with mock serious acting. Like an SNL skit where all the drama is overacted with over the top facial expressions and body movement to convey 'seriousness'. It was comical without meaning to be. It ironically made it clear to me how good Tom Cruise is with this sort of stuff....I'm so disappointed with Tom as a person that I forget that he's actually a great actor for these types of roles. He plays seriousness realistically which is obviously quite a feat.
So you're saying that the show was full of.....people? Heroes and Villains, Gay and Straight, Clever people, Stupid People. When I leave for work in the morning, I wave to my neighbour who is Asian. When I grab my morning coffee I often get served by a non Anglo Saxon person and my favourite workmate just happens to be gay. Holding a mirror up to real life isn't 'woke'. Only casting white, straight people is more unrealistic than just including everybody we see in our real lives everyday.
