And to the wonderful cast for being such a sporty and a fun bunch to share notes and screen with." In the comments section of Ali Fazal's post, Gal Gadot dropped a few heart emojis.
The actor added in his note, "We keep gliding through life sometimes so caught up in the realm of the right and the illusion of the true and the light in the tunnel that we forget to really look past the frame, like the mirror in interrogation rooms. Imagine there's always a bunch of people behind those mirrors, if those rooms were to constitute our lives. Working it just to make us look our pretty best. . I remember the hard work that went in to create these visuals and bring Kenneth Brannagh's vision to life. And sure it can be just a job we do, but then it isn't because we are artists and we don't just move on we take the world with us to places of better value. We flow. So here's to every technician on This film, thank you for your hard work and perseverance. I sure as s*** look good here, and you too."
