#yknow its easy to compare louie and polo

Oh BTW I was rewatching was an adventuress earlier and I'm starting to realise how underrated I find aunt Cecil and the way she hates everything and everyone except Polo.

I remember back when I watched it with my friend, he assumed she was Tanya's aunt and made a joke about her not finding it strange that she had a nephew who she never met or heard of and while I'm pretty sure we're meant to assume that she and everyone else at the party are Paul Verneys relatives, I do kinda like the idea that she is Tanya's aunt and loves Polo so much she doesn't even notice or care that she has no recollection of ever knowing him before that party

Also people talk about Polo reciting the wedding vows to Andre at the end of this film, but the real diversity win is the fact that they have the same sleeping set up as Tanya and Paul if you ask me(I'm never gonna not be bamboozled by the fact that a married couple sharing a bed in media was considered controversial as late as the 60s)

#honestly one of my favourite things about this film is how much everyone other than andre seems to adore and dote on polo #ik i give paul verney a hard time but tbh i kinda wanted to hate him off the bat so much that i was blind to how nice even he is to polo #i somehow just straight up did not notice till this rewatch that hes smiling fondly while polos telling stories to the guests #polo #i was an adventuress #yknow its easy to compare louie and polo #and while i would've said i prefer louie for a long time now i think i actually prefer polo #idk polo seems a little bit more complex and has more agency throughout the events of his film
