But Carl didn't mean @AeronautsFilmUK
'Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones reunite to tell the story of balloon pilot Amelia Wren and scientist James Glaisher' :
Unlike The Theory of Everything (2014), a story in which Glaisher only existed
The early scene for Amelia and her sister's carriage - or later re-purposing locations (Lancaster Gate or Holland Park ?) to resemble the period - had been set up more carefully than the actual words uttered :— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) November 28, 2019
In 100 mins, trying symbolically what Locke's ambitions were in 85 ?
End-notes :
* An amalgam of people, there was no Amelia Wren as such - to quote the IMDb entry for the film :
With [James Glaisher's] co-pilot aeronaut Henry Tracey Coxwell, they broke the world record for altitude on September 5, 1862. Coxwell is omitted from the film, and replaced with the fictional Amelia Wren.
