Hey Everybody! Have you ever seen the film Depraved? We watched it at house final week. It was so good! We noticed Depraved on stage about 16 years in the past. I cherished it then and wasn’t positive if the film adaptation could be good. Fortuitously, the film model was magnificent. You possibly can inform everybody concerned put their coronary heart into it. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande had been excellent as Elphaba (the Depraved Witch of the West) and Glinda. They developed an actual friendship and had nice chemistry on the display screen. The appearing, singing, music, costume, staging, choreography, and particular results had been all phenomenal. I’d have watched it within the theater if I knew it was this good. Oh effectively, it was enjoyable at house too. Anyway, test it out when you haven’t seen the film but. It’s a deal with. It’s best to watch the unique Wizard of Ouncesfirst, although.
Minor spoiler forward…
The film was simply the primary half of the present. It ended with Elphaba flying off, presumably to begin a resistance motion. Glinda stayed behind to work for the Wizard. The film ended with Defying Gravity, the defining music of the present. The music was superior on stage, but it surely was epic within the movie. Cynthia Erivo knew what it’s wish to be an outsider and gave it her all. She owned it. Ariana Grande was superb, too. I’m unfamiliar together with her work, so I don’t have any bias. It’s important to see each variations when you like The Wizard of Oz. Right here is the music. You possibly can take pleasure in it whereas studying the remainder of the publish.
Some individuals didn’t perceive why Glinda didn’t go off to begin a rise up with Elphaba. They had been besties. Glinda ought to have been braver and extra supportive. However I knew she wouldn’t go. Glinda was a privileged standard lady. She thrived throughout the system. She had by no means been an outsider and doesn’t wish to be a insurgent. Why go away when all the pieces is already figuring out very effectively for you?
However, the system discriminated in opposition to Elphaba ever since she was born. It was a a lot simpler choice for her. She swam in opposition to the present her entire life. Why work in a corrupted system that promotes hate and worry? When she lastly proved she had actual energy, the individuals in cost simply needed to make use of her. She knew they’d stab her within the again once they didn’t want her anymore.
Mrs. RB40 joined Staff Elphaba
Alright, right here is the massive information. Mrs. RB40 has reluctantly joined Staff Elphaba. She took the early retirement package deal as a substitute of soldiering on in a poisonous work atmosphere. Actually, she is the Glinda kind. She enjoys working within the system and thrives in a structured atmosphere. If she was youthful, she in all probability would stick it out as a substitute of leaving. Nevertheless, we spent a few years getting ready for this eventuality. Not like most of her coworkers, she may retire if she needed to. That’s why we lived modestly and invested a big portion of our revenue. She may make her choice with out having to fret about cash. That is the payoff.
Most of her coworkers had to stick with Staff Glinda as a result of they couldn’t afford to retire but. That’s a tougher function to play, IMO. We’ve all been by these rounds of layoffs. The administration will proceed to cut back the workforce. The individuals left should work a lot tougher to make up for all of the people who find themselves gone. The boss and his cronies turned the workplace right into a hostile work atmosphere, and they’re going to ratchet up their antics. Loyal staff are made out to be the unhealthy guys. It’s all propaganda and sleight of hand. They aren’t even saving that a lot cash. But, his gullible supporters cheer the Discount in Power. They don’t perceive that we are going to all pay for this later.
Anyway, Mrs. RB40’s final day of labor was final Friday. She’ll take the remainder of the 12 months off after which consider her choices later. Subsequent 12 months, she would possibly attempt to discover a new job, return to high school, or keep retired. We’ll see the way it goes.
