Especially when I studied film. I didn't notice, for example, that he was wearing a false nose until reading the reviews afterwards. I just thought he was wearing lots of makeup and looked a bit odd. <br /><br />I also didn't get why one of the runners was becoming mutilated as he was running away, and had to have it explained. <br /><br />Re: the sexism, I thought it was meant to be an aspect of that kind of society - it had a sort of 40s film noir-ish, sci-fi Bladerunner feel where the only roles available for women were strippers or mothers. Though within that, I thought that Emily Blunt's character was quite kick-ass. <br /><br />But maybe I'm just so used to Hollywood being sexist I don't see it anymore. When you think of real strong film noir women like Gilda, it seems we've gone backwards... Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941917503687179585noreply@blogger.com
