I would have gone with 'Replicant'.
Ostensibly Tony Blair, as he was PM from '97-2007, and the book was published in 2007.
He's the male version of the (cute but) ditzy dame.
I noticed that too. Kind of a presage to the end scene, with the pages in the wind.
So funny - was just going to type your exact comment (both parts!)
:-D
Last sentence: So true! Esp since there are so few films lately that just are there to entertain us... might as well enjoy them!
I did see Labour mentioned a couple of times when they showed the newspaper headlines.
Did final cut have that weird, truncated ending that only showed them walking out the door of his apt?
His looks - especially when young. And I agree that his performance in BR was very flat and one-dimensional.
I thought the visuals (not only the sets, but the visual touches and camera work and pacing) were the most beautiful (or right up there) of any movie I've seen. The plot, not so much.
Agreed. Very limited range. Seems to be more about his looks than anything else.
A visual masterpiece, certainly.
Title is totally irrelevant.
Should have been called 'Replicant'. Which would also introduce the ambiguity of who exactly it is referring to. Plus it just makes a lot more sense.
Visually it's one of the greatest films I've ever seen - design, visual pacing, camerawork, small visual touches.
Plot? Not so much.
She isn't a femme fatale. There's no 'fatale' in her. She fits the paradigm exactly zero. The other two replicants are, if anything, closer.
I'm in the same month!

That's interesting. I'm glad you liked it. I didn't like it much at all - it seemed like an upper-class guilt trip. But obviously enough people liked it, I just wasn't one of them.
Right. In theory. In practice it doesn't work that way.
He says he's been sober for two decades. But he looks goddawful. Maybe it's just the genes.
