Cereal scenes
After some research I found that
the common believe of Cleopatra
bathing in milk to lighten her skin was
never confirmed. However Queen
Elizabeth I of England did use
milkbaths to appear more youthful
and pale.
The sourness of the milk is
supposed to cause some form of
chemical reaction that removes
dead skincells. The fat in milk is
supposed to cling to the skin causing
it to feel smoother.
So far, using milk to lighten the skin
has been a myth, but I like the
methaphore when used on my spots.
The use of Alpha-bits was a reference
to both the USA, where I was filming
at the time (Philadelphia) and
childhood.
Cereal is seen as a typical American
breakfast, mostly eaten by children.
The US cases of children with past
life memories are harder to find due
to the common believes in western culture being against the idea of reincarnation.
