See??? I keep learning new things about this movie! I had thought about that a little bit (the "madness" coming from the two Georges), but so much is ingrained in him. He was raised to be King, BUT there are times when he acts more like a commoner than a king (he as known as "Farmer George" after all). Maybe this was put in the movie to make us wonder about your idea? The kings before him probably didn't know one pig from another, but this one knew all about them and are sort of his hobby. Did his "selves" get too close?

No matter if we are king or commoner, though, I think we all have different selves. There's Internet Brittany (I try to be my "real" self, but I think it is impossible with only a keyboard), Mom's side of the family Brittany, Dad's side of the family Brittany, Work Brittany, Church Brittany, Sick Brittany, etc. All the same, but still different. Perhaps some people (like George) can't handle all their "selves" and it just turns into a big mess? I know sometimes it is very frustrating trying to be my right "self"!

Actors probably have more "selves" than the normal person, I would think. I wonder if they consider their roles as other "selves" and if it makes it harder to find their real "self" with all these other "selves" running around? Perhaps our friend could answer that ;)

- some interesting thoughts to ponder Britt!
- maybe it's simply a matter of being "multi-faceted"?! :)

“I love the way she projects two facets: a visible persona and a subterranean one. She keeps her thoughts to herself; she seems to suggest that her secret, inner life is at least as significant as the appearance she gives.”
- Francois Truffaut
