| Franklyn | comment |
Franklyn is a 2008 British film directed by Gerald McMorrow and starring Eva Green, Ryan Phillippe, Sam Riley, and Bernard Hill. Split between London and the gloomy metropolis that is Meanwhile City, the plot revolves around an art student obsessed with death, a young man recently left at the altar who is in search of true love, a masked vigilante who stalks Meanwhile City in pursuit of the enigmatic Individual and a father searching for his missing son. As the film progresses, these seemingly unconnected tales are tied together as Preest closes in on his objective.Not to be confused with Franklin the Turtle. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Franklyn / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Not only does it imply that most of the movie takes place in Meanwhile City, but that Emilia is the little girl Preest "failed to save." | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Franklyn / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Sure, Margaret, leave your husband because he was raping your daughter, but don't tell her that's why you did it, get her any treatment, or even acknowledge that it happened. That definitely won't screw her up. | |

| Franklyn / int_45a01289 | comment |
Angel Unaware: Both Sally and the janitor at the hospital are implied to be this, seeing as they each appear to the protagonists to guide and impart wisdom, and no never interact with anyone but the protagonist they are talking to in that scene. | |

Never My Fault: It's implied that Peter's negligence was the cause of his daughter's death, which he deals with by insisting it was God's will, and this is part of what sent his son over the edge. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Obviously, a lot of what the characters experience especially Preest is revealed to be the imaginary product of a disturbed mind, but there are an awful lot of coincidences... | |

Preest is a gruff, masked loner in a Badass Longcoat who defies the society he views as corrupt, wandering the streets at night monologuing to himself while engaging in vigilante activities. Sound familiar? | |
