We Are All Just Humans In Training

and the original graphic novel is phenomenal:

I highly recommend them both

1) lewis prothero as a rush limbaugh/glenn beck/bill o’reilly type is both more applicable and way funnier than a 1940s radio propagandist 

2) it has stephen fry as gordon detriech, and makes him explicitly gay and pretending to be attracted to evey as part of being closeted than actually attracted to evey and having sex with her while she hides in his home.

3) the movie came out in 2005; that is, only four years after 9/11, while the Iraq war was still in full swing, and while xenophobia and Islamophobia were not just acceptable, but tacitly encouraged by the administration at the time. which makes the following exchange even more poignant and sweet:

Evey: [seeing a book in a glass display case] What is that? Gordon: It’s a copy of the Qur’an, 14th century. Evey: [shocked] Are you a Muslim? Gordon: No, I’m in television. Evey: But why would you keep it? Gordon: I don’t have to be a Muslim to find the images beautiful or its poetry moving.

She started small. Her own name. The name of the town they’re in. Their grocery lists. Short notes to let Beatrice know where she went off to.

Ava quickly developed a habit of leaving post-it notes around the apartment, scribbled onto them were her happy thoughts. Saw a dog today. Found a cute cafe. Camila and Mother Supes are both safe.

She never stopped documenting these little things on her brightly colored post-it notes, even after they left the alps.

After Beatrice returned to Jullian’s house post-battle and without Ava by her side, she found them: haphazardly stacked together and hidden in a zip compartment in Ava’s bag.

The first few notes were familiar, from their alps days. Then a couple Beatrice hadn’t seen before. Dick pastries. Prado Museum.

Then, training with Beatrice. She wasn’t sure when this was from. She didn’t care.

Another one, Beatrice’s sunglasses, followed by, Beatrice’s face when she’s trying to focus.

Beatrice went through the rest of the stack. Almost all of the notes were about her. Beatrice letting me call her Bea. Beatrice got darted and couldn’t function. Beatrice’s face when she heard that Camila does TikTok now.

beatrice : I'm a knife.
