yep, too obvious lol! there is a reason the movie was released when it was. wonderful movie. i've seen it twice. funny thing is, what sticks with me most is how unconsciously graham was treated as inferior for being a woman. those were not mean or bad people and they didn't hate her, yet look at how they disrespected her, walked in a cluster in front of her to exclude her, wouldn't listen to her ideas unless a man said them. it was all very natural for them. that struck me even more than those so-obvious parallels!
