This is not a film which wants its audience to underestimate anyone.

Oh: this is so much what I desire from movies and books, and so often not what I find. Either the traditionally belittled/stereotyped groups (whether societally, like, say, dorky scientists or overbearing Asian parents, or narratologically, like characters brought up to contrast with the protagonist) are still belittled, or else, in strenuous reversal, their opposite numbers are.

her prospective mother-in-law quietly reveals that she met her husband while recuperating from injuries she sustained in the last war, when she was an ambulance driver hit by shrapnel and he was a flyer like his son. The only real down note is unintentional: the egalitarian future all the characters assume they're moving toward, straight on into peacetime when the contemporary viewer knows it wasn't—isn't—as painless or as reasonable as that --cheers for the first part! And grimacing at the second part.

So glad you taped this one, too.

And what a fantastic photo! (And I like your other favorite too)
