Did anyone else notice how they use the same recording but backwards when Elisabeth and Paige are listening to Tchaikovsky?
I'm enjoying the show, but it's unfair comparing the dark things the KGB did with the FBI (not the equivalent)... compare it with the CIA and they wouldn't seem so dark.
Altough I enjoyed what seemed like authenticity and the plot has some intrigue, there are a few problematic elements to the film —if you know how it was made— like the nudicity and sexual acts of minors, the exaggeration of the darkness and depravity of that social reality —the part of the cast that really were ny street kids claimed that things weren't like that— and the somewhat explotation of the cast (especially the real ny kids), who weren't properly paid (1k $) nor fully perceived the success of the film.
Alison Wright is a terrific actress...
How can Paige be so annoying...

I started crying with The Climb......
Too predictable and unbelievable (not possible for me to let go the disbelief) in my opinion... And felt quite similar to Midsommar (the end? lol) .
Fun to watch if you know Madrid, many locations to spot haha
The visuals and the message -anticolonialism, protection of nature, sovereignty of indigenous people- are great, but the plot is just bad: poor, repetitive, with many clichés, very predictable... Much worst than the first, I couldn't connect. But it's arguably worth it to see it in 3D just for the visuals.
The most cinematographic episode so far, with great photography and music, which made it very intense and powerful in some parts; but unfortunately it has some quite unrealistic elements, like Sir Criston murdering a guest and just walking away...
Best sex scene in the franchise; you can tell it was directed by a woman.
There are funny and very funny parts, but If you are a person with a reasonable amount of empathy it's hard not to pity and have a hard time seeing how they treat some of the people "forced" to be involved in this...
What are the requirements for a movie to have the romance genre and how does this not meet them
I've always hated Miranda... she has 0 empathy.
It was very interesting, nice and emotional. But, first, I think they have compressed too much all of the complexity and the facets of the saga (pre-production, production, the professionals that were behind, etc.), and second (and related) they totally diminished the importance of J. K. Rowling, who is the AUTHOR (because of an opinion she gave I happen to agree with).
Nice touch to finally reveal Big's name.
Not bad for a Hollywood movie.
They created a character as perfect as Aidan for what? I guess so we suffer and hate Carrie for being a stupid as*hole much more.
Carrie yelling to Mr. Big like she wasn't a POS too.
Really not enjoying the cheating .
It was supposed to be romantic? It was absolutely infuriating. And frustrating. And poor Aidan. :knife:
I don't think bisexuality was horribly adressed here. Sure, Carrie is biphobic, but it was more than normal more than 20 years ago, so, having that in mind, at least they exposed it and kind of normalized it. When Carrie walks away she doesn't say it's wrong, she just states she's not used to it because of her age (which nowadays would be almost 60).
"The woman's an idiot" because of a spelling mistake. Ok, Carrie.
It's a nice mini-series with great visuals and acting, but it has some mayor flaws: the fact that the cast is entirely whether english or american being set in the soviet union; how it claims total accuracy but it doesn't have it at all (not even in the epilogue), including lies and a great dose of dramatization; and how it's full of anti-soviet and anti-communist propaganda when many other countries have acted like that through history (lies, blackmailing, etc.) and still do.
"Christianity? Again?" Great post-credits.
A slow-paced and beautiful movie whose ending makes me cry every time.
For some reason it's been the most disturbing episode so far.
Very funny movie with a great social commentary.
