Maybe It's Because I Was An Only

There's A Heroic Amount Of Effort That Goes Into Making Him [doctor Strange] A Superhero By The End Of The Film.

The Guy [doctor Strange], He's Like Most Of Us, He's Uncorrupted Flesh From The Beginning Of His Life, He's Somebody Who's Not Marked With Original Sin Or Any Kind Of Crap Like That. He's Somebody Who's Come Into This World And Had Experiences That Have Shaped Him To The Point That We First Meet Him. There's Always Got To Be Leverage. I Think There Is Some Clear Explanation Of That Within This Film, But Potentially Further Down The Line...for More Of That To Come Out As Well.

The Story [in 12 Years A Slave] Serves As A Metaphor For The Fear Of Having Your Family Taken Away, And For Being Abused In Such A Horrific Way. I Lost It A Lot Of Times Watching That Film, Particularly When Seeing The Grace Of The Man When He Finally Makes It Back Home Aged, Changed, Forever Brutalized, And Yet He Apologizes To His Family For His Long Absence. That Was Such A Profoundly Moving Moment Capturing The Triumph Of Dignity Over The Disgraceful Behavior Of Those Involved In The Slave Trade.

I've Been Broody Since I Was 12, But I Can't Just Get Anyone Pregnant. It Has Got To Be The Right Person.

I've Realised Now That The Reality Of Children Is You Have To Be In The Right Place With The Right Person.
