Lies to Children
20 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A historically inaccurate film in so many ways, Where were the rest of Clarice's siblings for a start. The Meeting with Gordon Forsyth is a doozer, he actually TAUGHT Clarice at the art school her employers sent her to. Several "missing" parts to the story (were they filmed but not included in the final cut) such as what happened to Colley Shorters wife? The Painting Demo in the shop window happened in a store in London quite a few years after Bizarre was released and it was already selling well. The whole thing about getting her stuff recognised seems very contrived. I think the whole thing fits into a "lies to Children" framework, simplifying a story so much for the idiot level that while there is a grain of truth much of it is in fact wrong.
