It contains the great line (paraphrased): we already hired a woman last month, what would we do with another one?

Thinking about how Jodie Foster in 1976(*), when she was 12/13yo, made four films. In one she played a prostitute (Taxi Driver), in another her character was all about seducing the male character (Bugsy Malone) and in a third her 13yo character has a sexual relationship with a 19yo boy (The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane). I haven't seen the fourth (Echoes of a Summer). What is a girl to make of that growing up? Luckily hyper smart Jodie seems to have been above all that.

(*) this is the release year. The films were made in 1975 and with Jodie's birthday in November 1962, that explains the age.

These credits... 'Tom as himself' 😉
It's a fun film. I especially noticed how Chloë is so natural acting opposite these animated characters. I guess that's over a decade worth of film experience and growing up acting to a camera when the other character is not necessarily there.

Seems to me there were some logic errors to the story, but if you look past that it is a quite nice romantic story. It's also not so much about a pandemic as it is about the loneliness of lockdown. Especially the substory with the wheelchair bound ex-military guy and the aspiring singer highlighted that sense of being disconnected from the rest of the world. Sofia Carson played a really nice Sara in the romance plot, more than a girl that needs saving. I know her from Descendants where she was good too of course.
Sadly Jenna's scene seems to be cut completely, she doesn't appear in the film at all, not even in the Deleted Scenes (of which there are many, almost more than a full film's worth). She did film a scene, there are behind the scenes photographs out there.
Only in the making-of I found out that they filmed it fully on mobile camera's, I didn't notice this at all while watching. These are some kind of purpose built boxes that stream to the cloud for the rest of the team. These may actually remain useful post-pandemic.

More nostalgic listening of music from my youth, now Mazzy Star with She Hangs Brightly. Hope Sandoval has such a gorgeous voice...
Weird how when I think of music being from my youth, it always ends up being from the 90s (my twenties) when I check, rather than my teens. I got into music quite late. Also MTV Europe's late night programme Post Modern with Pip Dan has been quite an influence during my university days.
Aww, that's a beautiful story...
Emilia of course great in a character yet again very different from what she's done before. And I finished it with 5 minutes to spare.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •The film is told from Travis' perspective, mostly, and since he's quite the racist, a lot that is said in the film is as well. Those are the perils of having a morally unjust character as pov.
It is left to the viewer to decide that he is morally unjust, though. In the end the film even portrays him as a hero.
