Thank you, Isabelle. I do want my Sunday posts to add to the learning process of understanding the underbelly of effective narrative--what you truly get at in this super observation. xo
Isn't it, though, Rebecca? Sometimes the so-called "critics" simply don't get brave choices by directors and creators. I think of your column here that way--you take chances that I so admire. 💕
Thank you for another lesson. I don't have HBO. I've had it in the past and while it does some great things, I've decided I prefer other streams more. I did however familiarize myself with the original. I watched both the tv series and the movie Bergman did on the subject. I enjoyed it so much, I also watched the entire series and movie with my folks, discussing deeply after and throughout. I like that Levi updated the roles. I also like that us noting the value of depth and intimacy in a world that realizes the profit in fast food love... is a worthy goal. I enjoyed a delightful unfoldment of same. I've had a relationship developing since 1996. He's 17 years older. We recently went 385 days without physical interaction and our reunion felt just as magical as it did in the beginning. I do believe this is a worthy remake. Nice of you to write it up here.
Great article, Mary, that makes me want to watch the series. Love this especially:
"That observation is like a boomerang" which gets me thinking on how I want my characters to feel when they're reading my stories.
The quote by Walcott is a gem. Perhaps healing and growth are in the fragments.

Thanks for this thoughtful analysis. I watched the series, but you've given me a whole new layer of appreciation and understanding.
Means so much that you think so! Thank you. xo
Really interesting, Mary. Challenging the observer to answer their own questions is a great concept. :D

So glad you're reading. Your story here of the reunion touched me so. Magical--heartfelt. xo M.
