Watcha lookin' at?

I finally watched that damn movie about the teacher and the rock and one thing I have to say is I really appreciated how Grace and Rocky have insurmountable differences in needs and ability that remain insurmountable and yet they're still the dearest of friends. Grace and Rocky cannot safely cross into the environments the other is comfortable in. Rocky will never see light and color; Grace will never echolocate great distances. What's beautiful is that the story says this doesn't need to be an obstacle at all. The story never fantastically changes things so one can cross over to the other's way of life. These two characters will never be able to safely physically touch and so what? They choose to be in each other's lives and accommodate each other and share as much as they possibly can with each other anyway. (I also really love that Rocky devises the image-to-texture visualizer himself to address some of the perceptual gap, demonstrating ingenuity inspired by the adaptation Grace displayed with the clock face. It just hits right.)

So apparently, over the summer, Quibi (the shortest-lasting streaming service ever lmao) did a quarantine project called “Home Movie: The Princess Bride” where a bunch of celebrities recreated The Princess Bride in tiny chunks at home.
