remember the last three films-on-dvd that I was to borrow from the library? apart from the latest, that is...well the ill cult had set a sort of competition for 'the best film'...and the one which should have won it but didn't...was THE ONES BELOW...an MI5 'effort' as far as I know...which didn't rely upon 'method acting' i.e. mind control 'copybots'....the Sherlock holmes' number is a standard hollywood-type affair and really rather dull, by comparison...MI6 were behind it and even MI6 jon was to laugh - about the so-called screenwriter...dressed like a schoolboy...a real 'peter pan-living-the-dream' and 'one-of-CF's-mates' - who couldn't even remember what age his main character was supposed to be, although the acting crew could...anyway, that film was a cloaked metaphor and all about shin beit/beekeeping/st john in the desert...that sort of thing...."paedophilia"....yes, the relationship between the young boy actor and the director - was hinted at, let us say......and by contrast, in THE ONES BELOW...the acting crew had been chosen, in the main because 'they were just like that, anyway'...which is what makes the film incredibly realistic and therefore all the more compelling....oh and the main 'anxiety' can be seen 'between takes' as it were...clones (such as ingabot)...."test-tubers" replies MI5 ONLINE normally express anxiety around children/babies...on 'extras' you can see both poesy and morissey go on and on about having a baby-on-set....whereas the rest of the crew don't even give it a mention...
what else? well I was then to remember early discussions around the making of THE ONES BELOW....and yes it had been based upon 'what had happened at Talbot place'....the whole 'inga' story....in Blackheath and the surrounding areas...Talbot place is located at the top of the road - which leads down to all saints primary school....go figure.
anyway, this morning, I was to have a look for my old primary school, in Blackheath...on google...to find a site....to then do a double-take....because the 'virgin mary' looks rather like poesy, doesn't she?....go figure:
I have indicated where programming for the 'magician's board' took place, in the 60s....with a red arrow...see above...nowadays it appears to be full of leaves....oh and the playground surface has changed from 'tarmac' to a green court surface...but apart from that...the concrete walls/redbrick...look pretty much the same....
oh and the third film of the trio-on-dvd....OBVIOUS CHILD...well that had been gill and shana's idea....and as MI6 were to laugh...the only commendable thing about it...is that it featured an abortion clinic...something that is not normally referenced in 'popular culture' let us say and therefore might have been of interest....although the treatment of the location and all that it references...was given such short-shrift and sugar-coated in such a ghastly way....that one cannot say more than that, really...
