    Thank you for your candid description of your incredibly challenging childhood, Molly. I don't know why I watched this whole thing... just a Q&A about two people sharing a flat, and really nothing to do with the usual "inspirational" angle of Ali's insanely productive work ethic. But I enjoyed it immensely. btw "Colours of the wind" ftw.

  • @user-pq7nx6uq5r
    @user-pq7nx6uq5r 4 роки тому +71

    Molly is so great! I do think lots of the conversations they were having about self-doubt etc really highlight the difference in the way men and women are socialised. Ali never considers that he might be 'less-than', whereas Molly has to continually prove to herself that she's good enough. It's a pattern that I've noticed a lot in my own life/at medical school - interesting to see it presented in such a stark way!
