The world below looked like a toy world. Toy cars, miniature people, even the sounds that drifted up to me seemed somehow make-believe. Hard to believe that just twenty-four hours before I’d been walking through the country-side of Indiana … a scene from a film came to my mind – The Hudsucker Proxy – a man, falling to his death from a huge skyscraper when time suddenly stops.
It’s one of the worst films ever made by the Coen brothers – so say the critics. I wonder why I like it so much.

Walking With Bastet in Prose 
There’s a lot here !!!!
LOL … Yep … I put a 10 video playlist up 😉
It was frightfully real until time stopped. Yes, it sure reminded one of the dangers of heights upon inching along the ledge. Nicely Georgia!

I liked the film very much and to me it seemed to touch some interesting social problems that we all have to face … and yes .. those falling scenes are really scary too! Glad you lied the read.
Interesting take on the prompt, didn’t expect a reference 🙂

Funny, when I saw the picture my first thought was that scene in The Hudsucker Proxy. I really liked the movie, and your story.
Fantastic … it’s interesting that we had the same first thought … and I’m happy to see you’re another fan of the film!
I remember liking that movie too… good story, Georgia!
