@girldrawsghosts I know from interviews with Taylor Dearden that the actors were given the time/space/encouragement to integrate parts of their own personalities and pitch character ideas. A lot of Mel’s neurodivergent traits are informed by Dearden’s own knowledge & experience.
@DavidSm61477650 He seems to not recognise where he is when he wakes up (which obviously could just be from the stroke)
But the story possibilities seem too good to ignore.
movies have come such a long way since back then.
it's probably because cameras didn't have built-in screens, but so many old movies have these weird glares, reflection, and other artefacts obstructing the actor.
just another reminder that some things *are* getting better.
