This is because his father is in prison-and the jerk is pressuring his sons to avenge him by killing the man responsible for his incarceration. Second, the kid playing Hamlet, Liam (ably played by Hunter Page-Lochard) is in a position to recreate the play in his real life. First, this teacher wants to put on a production of this Shakespeare play using the inner city students from her school-and there is a widespread belief that these kids could never appreciate the play or rise to the occasion to successfully put on the play for the community. I definitely do NOT remember this sort of plot element in To Sir, With Love! As far as the "Hamlet" element goes, you get it in double doses.
Again, I see this as Ricci walking to her own drummer in playing this character-and her rather steamy sex scene with a woman she meets in a bar will probably offend a few folks and inspire others.
I been around the block babe i know a few facts movie#
This is because the teacher herself is a bit lost-and the movie is bound to turn a few heads with Ricci and the subplot involving her struggle with bisexuality.
And, while this might be one interpretation of the film, there is far more to it than this. Some might find this sort of idea a bit paternalistic-like it takes some American-type to come save the poor children of the world. Like "To Sir, With Love", the main character in the film is a well meaning and super- idealistic foreign teacher who has come to work with disadvantaged city kids. I know this sounds strange-but the similarities become obvious as you watch the film.
In many ways, Around the Block is a lot like the old Sidney Poitier film "To Sir, With Love" combined with "Hamlet". So, I wasn't all too surprised to see her, of all things, in a micro- budgeted independent film from Australia.yes, Australia. While she has been involved in quite a few projects that are very commercially oriented (such as the god-awful "Sleepy Hollow"), she also has chosen many odd projects with far less mass appeal (such as "Pecker" and "Pumpkin") and has deliberately avoided the typical starlet persona. Christina Ricci is a very difficult Hollywood actress to categorize.
