There's a bit in WONKA where, for a moment, he appears to walk on water. Its a delightful visual and reminded me of BEING THERE (1979). Its an absolute gem of a film with one of Peter Seller's more restrained performances. He's still funny, just not his usual overthetop kind of funny. We watch him lose a job and bumble his way through conversations sure that he's an idiot, while everyone in the movie thinks he's the wisest man alive! The script allows for both interpretations and by the end of the movie you dont know what to think of him anymore 😋. Highly recommend for the double-edged performance!
Might be enjoyed by folks who saw a duality in Chalamet's Wonka & felt he was 2 head bonks & 1 betrayal away from unhinged.
It actually makes a lot of sense that Macca would be reading this book around the time Secretary was recorded, since he was probably interested in the book after Peter Sellers was cast in Hal Ashby's 1979 film.
Whenever people tell me like those bad things that they’re going through and there’s just nothing you can say in response, like “my mom has cancer,” or “my ex just stole my dogs,” I’ve started offering to twerk for them in their troubled time. It makes them laugh and it’s validated that Ive heard them, because I really have nothing comforting to respond with other than that 99% of the time.
