Exactly! If you're into that kind of thing, you should do it with your own kid, like Trump did. Follow his example!
Rilla of Ingleside was a wonderful book in my opinion.
It's explained in the book that she had a head cold, and so couldn't smell anything.
I think even Sayuri realized that if things were different, she could have ended up like Hatsumomo and that they did have a lot in common. I think you are supposed to pity her at least a little.
What I never got was this.
I got the impression that Hatsumomo was extra cruel to Sayuri because she was jealous or threatened in a sense. Like even at that age she knew that Chiyo could one day be a threat to her place in the order of things. After all, Hatsumomo was mean to Pumpkin, but in a casual way. Not so much in an "I will destroy you" kind of way. In the book it's very clear, she might be mean and crude at times, but she was absolutely no fool when it came to schemes.
All of that being said, her best course of action would have been to play nice with Chiyo. Why not tell her right away about her sister visiting, give her some money to run away, and just make it look like she stole the money and ran? She would have never been heard from again, just like her sister, and Hatsumomo would have had her way.
Yep. In the book, Marilla puts her wine in the cordial bottle. Either the original bottle had broken, or that was just the bottle she used when she made it (I don't remember). Marilla was ALWAYS doing this in the books. Anne also made a cake for the minister's wife and put linament in it because Marilla had broken the bottle and put what was left in a vanilla bottle, that Anne unknowingly used in the cake. Then, in Anne of Avonlea, a similar mistake was made with a red fabric die and skin cream that Anne used.
They really should have had a system of marking any jar or bottle that was being used for another purpose. It would have saved a lot of grief.
Circumstances, and at the end of the day a broken society.
We do choose how we respond to circumstances, that's part of the rational thinking mind. That's what mental illness takes from you though. Sort of hard for him to make those wise choices when he couldn't distinguish between reality and fantasy.
I don't think we're meant to sympathize with Joker or cast judgment on him. His character in this movie isn't about that. He's just a result. We're meant to ask; a result of what?
Yes! I loved it!
I liked that too. It sort of made you the bad guy in the story. Very meta!
I love that they are doing really quality original content. I gave cable up years ago and have not really missed it at all.
I enjoyed it too! I love that Netflix is doing some really quality original content.
I hear what you're saying, but sometimes I think it can be worse to have things over explained. There is a fine line between open ended and lazy writing. I felt like this film landed a little more in the open ended category and was pretty good.
I thought it got more interesting as it went on. When I didn't care was when he was picking music and cereal and things like that.
That's a pretty good idea, might try it if I go back and watch it again.
True, and it was kind of fun as a one time thing (I will say I loved how they worked it into the story). I just keep hearing about NetFlix wanting to do more choose your own adventures in the future and don't see me very much getting into the trend. Others may have lots of fun with it though which is cool I guess.
Very true. I did wonder the point of that (I went back and chose the other options when it let me, to see the other forks in the story). Is it trying to say that our fate is already set, and free will is really an illusion? Kind of depressing, the exact kind of message the show would go for now that I think about it.
Exactly, it made it kind of disjointed feeling.
Ha ha, I did totally pick that option :-)
