It's full, very smart, as 56 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: they say, right, And it's the same storyline that is 57 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: in every great story. It's whether it's Jane Eyre, whether 58 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: it's Fifty Shades of Gray, whether it's Sound of Music. 59 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 2: A young girl falls in love with a taciturn older 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: man and she thinks he hates her, and then eventually 61 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: he confesses that he has loved her all along, and 62 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: then big fornication ensues.
