The question remains: where did Lieutenant Edward Little get the gold chains, and what are they doing on his face? They've been bothering me for a week now!
@MadMetHead: The official Twitter of "Terror" has published a statement on the account of "piercing":
This grim discovery by Crozier is recreated based on contemporary accounts of Inuit testimony, which describe the discovery of the remains of one man "festooned" with jewelry, as depicted.
A great ending to a great series. The Doctor sacrificing himself in order to kill Hickey is really strong. Hickey's finally dead. Tuunbak died very stupidly, so to speak, the greed of the fraer ruined him.
@Bart182: "Tuunbak died very stupidly, so to speak, the greed of the fraer ruined" - yes, it's not greed, but something else. At first, the bear just kills the sailors and scatters them around, then, like a maniac, carefully exposes their heads, at this time sucks out their souls (sort of), and in the end, suddenly decides to swallow a dude wrapped in a chain (although, it seems, this is a kind of fetish, because the bear and Mr. Blanky, wrapped in spoons, could have swallowed). They shot at him from dozens of barrels almost at point-blank range, when he set up a butcher shop on the deck, they hit him from a cannon, blew him up with a firecracker rocket and he calmly survived it. And then some kind of chain, pulled by a half-dead old man, somehow killed him and gutted everything! The series, of course, is good and looks in one go, but the ending seemed crumpled. It feels like all the "juicy" moments were simply torn out of the book (where everything is probably written in detail and convincingly), just so that they would be.
And it's a shame for the doctor. I wanted to look at the torments of the poisoned team and viciously shout "This is for Sir Goodsir, bitches!", but the bear ruined everything.
@MadMetHead: Tuunbak didn't die stupidly. He had already been injured, and a rocket launcher hit him, and swallowed a one-legged man wrapped in forks, which could cause internal bleeding and weaken him even more. And also the poison that Goodsir + chain took. In general, there are many factors.
@MadMetHead: "and then I got poisoned by a cookie." It's stupid to think that it was the chain that killed him, taking into account all the previous injuries and poisoning. She was just the last straw.
He ate sailors whose bodies were literally soaked in lead. At the end, he had severe lead poisoning, which slowly killed him as well as the team members.
@Darula: What could be the strong characters in this story? Or should Dickens deny cannibalism, cheap canned food, and the team's almost zero Arctic experience, and assume that the team died singing the national anthem of England and praising Queen Victoria?
Almost everyone except Tuunbak was either definitely on this expedition (cannibalism, poisoning and insanity), or at least could have been (rebellions are not confirmed, but possible).
@Dvoreckii: The captain is quite an example of such a noble man, his assistant, who lost his leg. They remained human until the end. Is it true that for you to be strong is to sing the national anthem of England to the death and praise Queen Victoria?
@Darula: Not for me, but for critics of the documentary evidence of the events that took place. Their main argument is that the sailors of the Royal Navy could not do this, and all those who think otherwise are barbarians. And these are the words of far from the last and respected people of Victorian society. But it is strange now to adhere to their position and believe that out of respect for the dead, "who served their Homeland well," it is necessary to hide all the baseness of man and tell heroic tales.
"In weighing the probabilities and improbabilities of the "last resource," the foremost question is — not the nature of the extremity; but, the nature of the men. We submit that the memory of the lost Arctic voyagers is placed, by reason and experience, high above the taint of this so easily-allowed connection; and that the noble conduct and example of such men, and of their own great leader himself, under similar endurances, belies it, and outweighs by the weight of the whole universe the chatter of a gross handful of uncivilised people, with domesticity of blood and blubber. [...] Because they served their country well, and deserved well of her, and can ask, no more on this earth, for her justice or her loving-kindness; give them both, full measure, pressed down, running over. Because no Franklin can come back, to write the honest story of their woes and resignation, read it tenderly and truly in the book he has left us. Because they lie scattered on those wastes of snow, and are as defenceless against the remembrance of coming generations, as against the elements into which they are resolving, and the winter winds that alone can waft them home, now, impalpable air; therefore cherish them gently, even in the breasts of children." C. Dickens "The Lost Arctic Voyagers"
@Dvoreckii: "There's a little bit of a human layer in us Layered shakily and alarmingly; It's easy to turn us back into cattle, It's very difficult to get it back up." (YG)
@Darula: By and large, all real stories about people trying to survive in extreme situations, depending on the duration of the misadventures, sooner or later come down to the same thing. Maybe the first episodes really misled you, but both the real story of the ships, and the book, despite the elements of fiction, and the series itself - they are originally about a proud civilized man who goes to conquer Mother nature, and from whom this mother nature eventually tears out piece by piece his civilization.
@Darula: To be honest, I usually remain indifferent to most of the comments. But in this case, I couldn't resist. The comparison with the hills has eyes is insulting, it's like eating tuna steak in a restaurant and saying that it's exactly the same as canned food for 70 rubles. As for your delight at the scenery and costumes of that era, and your dissatisfaction with the sight of flesh and blood (which, by the way, are not present at all often), I can say that this is only a sign of excessive infantilism. All these are two sides of the same coin, this is certainly not a warship in battle (that's where the whole meat grinder movie would be), but still an expedition involving extremely dangerous activities, it would be blasphemy to avoid demonstrating possible injuries, illnesses and other things in such a complex event that is going downhill. And the fact that the monster is drawn does not change the essence much, replace it with a couple, three real polar bears, it will be the same, or even worse, the bear will not be embarrassed at all by the sight of the butchered meal and its contents. In general, an undeserved and outrageous criticism of a man who obviously wanted to watch a gentle fairy tale in the spirit of the Victorian era. But since everyone has the right to an opinion, it makes no sense to develop a response to this comment.
Why didn't they film the moment when Crozier boards his ship and a dead man reaches out to him! How the ending of the book stuck with me, and how the series ended in no way! Well, in general, despite the not always successful changes to the book, the series came out great, in my opinion of course)
"For a moment, Crozier thought he could hear the creak of a cot and the rustle of icy blankets, under which a mummified corpse was moving. He distinctly heard the crack of withered tendons as a dead brown hand with long brown fingers and terribly long yellow nails slowly rose and reached out to him. Crozier didn't turn around. And he didn't run. And he didn't look over his shoulder. He's slowly flying out of the cabin..."
@vk729438: this is some kind of freedom from the translator - the original text uses phrases - "he was sure that he could hear...., he could hear his hand slowly rising" - that is, it says that Crozier seemed to be aware of what was happening behind his back, but it was not clearly heard and was happening at in front of his eyes.
"For a second he was sure that he could hear the bunk creak and the nest of frozen blankets stir as the mummified thing behind him reached for him. He could hear the dry tendons in the dead arm stretching and snapping as the brown hand with its long brown fingers and too-long yellow nails slowly rose."
Umm...it's kind of obvious that the reaching hand of a dead man is written metaphorically and no dead man was reaching for him. For me, it would be interesting if a similar moment was filmed in the series, Crozier stands with a hand reaching out behind him, and then he leaves the cabin and the body on the bed in the same position as it was at the time of his arrival, for me it would be very interesting, a kind of metaphor that the dead past of his didn't want to let go. And then he burns Terror, that's the ending! And not just sitting on the ice under the northern lights
As a person who loves Jack London's works about the north, and indeed the North itself, its nature, history of conquest, etc., I couldn't help but like the series. I would really like to see more good films on this topic.
@e46owner: Crozier, along with the Silent One, goes to look for his people at the very end. They pass by abandoned patients, among whom, of course, there are no longer any living ones. Then there is another dead camp. And the last parking lot, where there are no survivors either.
@Asmund: Well, everyone died in life. I don't know about the book, but they left them provisions and coal for a year. Maybe, of course, the tuunbak got to them when everyone left or died from canned food. If not, then it's pretty selfish of the captain to forget about them and live with the Eskimos. It's been clearly less than a year.
It was strong! The series is held in one breath. It's hard to watch, painful, but interesting. I feel sorry for the team, I feel bad for the captains... Ugh, after that you just need to lie down and calm down, because everything ended on a rather depressing note.
A normal series, just in moderation, and it looks interesting. The monster looks a little ridiculous, but as it was correctly written somewhere, if it were in the real world, I would put aside the bricks after seeing it. As I understand it, the monster died not only because he choked, but also because he was already dying, because he was without a master. It was a little embarrassing that Hickey was such a supervillain, always clean, always joyful, everyone there was already dead tired by the end, but he was as good as new. Thanks for the interesting series.
@GonReborn: I didn't realize at all that the monster had choked. I thought he was a rotten little Hickey) After all, Hickey had a conversation with a Marine officer (I think), who told him that he saw Collins die - as if a monster had taken his soul. The supervillain is fresh, yes) but they are very tenacious in real life.
@Dark_Alice: The book has several chapters devoted to who he is and where he came from (while I was still outraged about what this mythology was all about) in the movies, they forgot about her for some reason, and it became completely unclear what was what.
Cold, freezing, blizzard, filthy canned food, scurvy, crazy Hickey. All this is concentrated into an excellent series, definitely worth watching, which, in addition to the general problem of man's struggle with the cold, shows mysticism, when from the first episodes no one understood who and what was attacking our heroes. Not a bad cast, everything is cheerful. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the original source, but after reading that the ending in the series is alternative and it seems like the ending from the book in the comments above, having watched, in my opinion, an excellent film adaptation, you can not read it. Although in such filmed works there is always a place for fiction that departs from the original source. After all, a literal film adaptation of a book is always difficult.
I won't upset people who are so into the series and write something, but I can't ask at least one thing: What is the essence of the finale? Why didn't the captain deliberately leave with his men in the final? In the book, how was it? What was his motivation? Maybe I managed to blink because I didn't understand what the fuck he was doing and bluntly merged himself and stayed with them instead of sailing home? Why did they even need a line to land with these pleas to go save them all, what was the love line for (if it didn't even lead to anything.. at least they showed a mini-scene saying that an expedition had arrived and they were telling that lady that he had not survived, like everyone else. ) ? It haunts me : with
@FRFD: I don't want to upset you, but I don't think your opinion can upset people who are into the series) I haven't finished reading the book yet, but I can already tell that it's cool. I recommend it) maybe he will answer your questions. Regarding the love line, Crozier went on an expedition, confident that no one needed him in his homeland anymore (his beloved girlfriend refused to marry him) + besides, he was clairvoyant, vaguely foresaw failure and therefore permanently depressed. I'm still only in the middle of the book)
@ogoltelo: the joke is counted :) Well, it's just that often, when you try to explain your position, you explain that you personally didn't like this or that, and people react so sharply right away: "F**k off, go to matre svaeva fezruk sirialkroot, and everyone doesn't give a fuck if you like it!e!E111!!" and all that :)
Oh damn, something in the series did not notice his thought: with
And about the love line and the sushi line in general, I meant that if you cut them out of the series, then it seems to me that he won't lose anything at all. These lines didn't lead anywhere anyway. The fact that, for example, the captain would not have a love interest in the series, or if they had just told about it in words and not wasted time, then the series, it seems to me, would not have lost anything at all.
Anyway, thanks for the reply.
It would have been better if it had been shown in the series, rather than having to pick it out of the book later..
@FRFD: Yeah, it also depresses me that people react to critical comments like that. A lot of things in the series were crumpled up, there is such a thing. Imho, it's more for those people who like to hang out on the atmosphere, but generally one creak of the masts is enough for me to come on alert, immediately full speed ahead, seven feet under the keel and a tailwind, and the plot is the fifth thing)
@ogoltelo: No, well, when they just say "what the fuck kind of shit * the name of the series * is a bitch, everyone who watches it is morons1111!" and without specifics or type of criticism, it is clear that hardly anyone will like it, but other times you seem to write normally that you are not satisfied and, most importantly, why do you have such an opinion it appeared at all, but people don't want to notice or even think about any disadvantages of the series :) I remember just writing something in the style of "hohhh, did you notice a blunder at such and such a minute and two blunders at such and such a minute?)) By the way, it wasn't logical yet to do this and that))" and you immediately get an answer like, "Ugh, don't quibble!" ahaha
in general, one creak of the masts is enough for me to come to combat readiness, immediately full speed ahead, seven feet under the keel and a tailwind" aahahahh so cute))) funny way she wrapped it up))
@FRFD: and the serial Crozier stayed with the Eskimos, I think, because he was an exemplary captain, firstly (my people died here and I will disappear), secondly, it's a shame to return after such a failure, thirdly, he was disappointed in "civilized" people and life. I'll think about it, maybe I'll find a couple more reasons.
@ogoltelo: he could also have a reassessment of life values after everything he saw. and it is unlikely that he would have been able to calmly return to London and drink tea there, walking around in a tailcoat. and it looks like the child at the end with him is his (or adopted, it doesn't matter. it is important that in these ice floes he seems to have found a family and people who need him)
@FRFD: in the book, silent saved him (there was a very cool mess that for some reason was not included in the series, as well as a lot more cool moments, reading before the series thinking...how cool it would look in the series.), and went out because he was very badly injured. and he stayed because ****spoiler**** from silent he had 2 children. and no one was waiting for him there. something like this /
Well, yes. if we compare both the book and the series on a scale of 10, then I would give the book an 8, the series no more than 5. so it's better to read, there are no options here. The book is just great.
@FRFD: On the contrary, I liked that they didn't touch on any female-male topics or gender relations. There were no insatiable glances at the Eskimo, no attempts at harassment, no love story with the doctor. that would add cheapness to the series, as far as I'm concerned. and this is also purely my opinion))
@ktspctr: Well, it seems so, but then at least the captain's motivation to stay would be clearer. Although I like how the man came out and explained why he could stay :)
@ktspctr: I was also glad that for once there was no far-fetched love story. but there was loyalty, self-sacrifice, friendship to the grave, and everything that should be in a series about people on the edge.
I may be wrong, but as far as I understand, he did not sail with his people because he was disappointed not in civilization, but more in himself and in everything that he saw. It seems to me that after this, it's easy to decide that you're "spoiled" and just afraid to return to the civilized world, because after so many years, he's clearly already a stranger to him, he might consider himself unsuitable for life among society, not adapted to it and not ready morally. Just like it is difficult for soldiers to return from the war and live a normal life again. It's unlikely that he was so interested in fame when you live in such conditions for so long, priorities change and you see everything differently.
I haven't read the book, but the series is pretty good. It's an interesting story with great actors, they showed the different sides of people perfectly. I'm not sorry for the time spent.
In the screensaver itself, you can see that the faces of Franklin and Fitzjames turn into skulls, but Crozier's face turns into a shaman's mask. So you were originally planning to make the ending the closest to the book? It's strange that everything was changed so much in the end, because the book ending is really more logical, and the moral is better traced there. And here there is a lot of incomprehensible and unsaid.
But still, the series is great and very interesting. But no better than a book.
By the way, the first half of the series reminded me a bit of the good movie "Below". There is also a similar lingering and oppressive atmosphere of hopelessness and primal fear.
@Angel-Phoebs: This is an extremely strange decision, despite the fact that the second season will have nothing to do with either the book or the series.
There's nothing strange about that right now. AI, Fargo, and True Detective proved the validity of the anthology series. We started with Roman Simmons, and, as far as I know, they will continue with the Second World War. I hope the separation from the book will not harm the series.
@Dark_Alice: One thing to understand here is that everyone has different tastes, and I can agree that AI has weak seasons, but that doesn't mean the series is bad, it's just not yours. As for the sequels... The fact of the matter is that it's not about a sequel, but about a completely different story, which can be perceived as a different series. Maybe the new story will be worse, or maybe better, we'll wait and see.
@Alex_Fear: Я конечно держал в голове и совсем не против альманаха в ключе AHS. Но все же в основе ж ведь одноименный роман. А события романа, насколько я полагаю, охватили полностью весь первый сезон.
Ну разве что это будет приквел или спин-офф про путешествие той самой спасательной экспедиции. Но все равно это будет не так увлекательно и неизведанно, как случилось с экипажами Террора и Эребуса.
@Zombieset: да нет, будет именно что совсем другая история, что-то про Вторую мировую. Это, кстати, лучше, чем если бы они начали нести отсебятину касаемо той экспедиции.
@Alex_Fear: Я не совсем понимаю логику .. и что что у слова другое значение есть? Это же название, которое напрямую отсылает к определённому кораблю и произведению!
С таким успехом почему бы не снять... не знаю...ну от балды стреляю, например чего бы не снять "Титаник 2" , в котором будут бегать по городам огромные титаны, но это будет именно продолжение того самого "Титаник"а ибо это ж слово может и другое значение иметь , а значит чего бы и не снять ? Или условный "Чужой 5" , что б это было типа частью франшизы и всё такое, но было про...не знаю... мать которая ростит чужого ребёнка, так как "чужой" тоже имеет разные значения))) ЗЫ: Не думай что доёбываюсь или пытаюсь как-то задеть, просто мне действительно не совсем понятна логика .. Вот если сериал будет опять касаться темы этой экспедиции и хотя бы упоминать корабли, то тогда да. Но условный второй сезон этого сериала про превозмогание какой-нибудь там команды корабля в времена Второй Мировой каким боком будет касаться этого названия и сериала в целом ? Не понимаю ((
@FRFD: ну знаешь, чужие, титаны - это ты утрируешь уже. Террор - это ужас. Да, идеальное название для книги или фильма ужасов о корабле с таким же названием, но рейтинги, сам понимаешь, дают прекрасный повод обыграть это слово. Будет уже не то, конечно, но своеобразная логика в этом есть.
@Alex_Fear: Утрирую, да, но просто ..блин..всё равно не вижу смысла.. сериал назван в честь книги и в честь одного из кораблей, вообще никакой логики не вижу в том, что б продолжить этот сериал , где вообще ничего и близко не будет про эту историю и историю этих кораблей в частности . И в данном контексте Террор это не ужас, а название корабля, который , в свою очередь, называется Террором\Ужасом :)
@Zombieset: у Симмонса есть ещё роман "Мерзость" про погибших альпинистов, по стилю похож на "Террор", было бы круто, если бы 2 сезон сняли про них. Про 2-ую мировую прочитала только сейчас, жаль )
смерть джопсона была самой жуткой и я выплакала какое-то нечеловеческое количество слез и на том спасибо что не сделали из фрэнсиса и леди семейную пару как в книге книга и сериал такие разные но одинаково убивающие душу
Страшный и прекрасный сериал. Досматривать было тяжело, из-за гнетущей атмосферы безнадежности и обреченности, видеть мучения и истязания этих людей. Ну и конечно, мистер Хикки теперь, однозначно, один из лучших безумных сериальных злодеев последнего времени. Смотреть, как он протягивал свой отрезанный язык монстру, было крайне жутко. Увы, не получилось у него стать мистером Безмолвным.
Люди которые всегда пишут "книга лучше" - как вы надоели, то, что снимают по книгам, в большинстве случаев делают ДРУГИЕ ЛЮДИ и то что там не так как в книге - пора с этим смириться, ага...
Я под конец стал думать что финал будет как в лосте :-D Испортят всё христианским чистилищем, на самом деле оказалось не так, но блин, очень атмосферно сняли, правда нарисованный Туунбак все портил, графа подкачала в этом плане.
Книгу не читал. Объясните, пожалуйста, почему не ловили рыбу из подо льда для пропитания, и почему капитан не заболел из-за свинца в консервах? Спасибо.
@tkvitko: В книге говорилось, что лето (читай, таяние льда) приходит не каждый год, также в романе встречается термин "паковый лёд", тот самый многолетний. Чем дольше стоял корабль, тем толще, плотнее был лёд вокруг него. А если взять еще температуру в градусов 50 (а в книге часто как раз около того: легко одетые матросы в сериале - это для красоты картинки), то условия для рыбалки, мягко говоря, не располагающие. По поводу бурения... насколько я помню, в сериале показывали сцену с опусканием тела под лёд. Думаю, орудия у них были. Поэтому иных причин, кроме бешено низких температур и нереально толстенного льда, я не вижу.
По сути то и неудача экспедиции как раз в том, что капитаны надеялись "оттаять" со своим кораблем к лету и поплыть дальше покорять Север, но природа решила иначе.
+ к вопросу про свинец и капитана. но что-то мне подсказывает, что так просто было надо для сюжету)
@tkvitko: капитан любил прибухнуть. алкоголь частично нейтрализует отравление свинцом или иными тяжелыми металлами из-за того, что во время опьянения повышается потливость и частота мочеиспусканий. то есть клин клином вышибался. плюс у него был запой, а потом выход из него, когда он почти ничего не ел и только пил. организм мог успеть очиститься (вода ускоряет выведение свинца с мочой)
Прекрасный сериал!на одном дыхании.Я в принципе обожаю тематику Арктики.о книге узнала уже в процессе просмотра,жаль.люблю сперва прочесть.Больше всего потрясла смерть Джопсона.просто чудовища!не Туунбак монстр,а люди.ну могли бы хоть сказать-капитана с нами нет,мы идем дальше,а вы тут оставайтесь.а получилось,что он решил,что его бросили!бросил капитан!именно этот момент довел до слез!а вообще,это ведь люди сами и начали-убили шамана и пошло поехало.наверное Круазье потому и не вернулся-нечего им всем там делать!пришли и навели хаоса.жаль тех,кто остался человеком до конца.совсем иную судьбу хотела бы доктору и Джопсону,конечно!и,да,думаю правильно ,что Круазье остался-в Лондоне его ничего не ждет.он поплыл,тк обещал любимой присмотреть за дядей.дяди нет.кстати,изначально симпатизировала больше тому капитану,вплоть до момента,когда первая зимовка прошла,а лед не двинулся-поняла,что ведь Круазье все это предвидел и знал заведомо.
вопрос к читавшим: а в книге про хикки подробности какие-то есть? ну мол откуда и зачем. а то это самый топовый антагонист из мною виденных за последнее время, прям интересно, откуда он такой психопат
@AnyaKazarova: к сожалению, нет. В сериале он раскрыт даже лучше. В книге он тоже был хитрым подлецом, но местной харизмы за ним не наблюдалось. Хотя это скорее заслуга актера. Так или иначе ничего интересного в книге именно о Хикки не найдете.
действительно на одном дыхании. пока не читала описания романа, все нравилось) сейчас хочу уже и книгу прочитать) в общем, да, финал на логику немного подкачал, но в остальном все просто отлично.
Знаете, так много читал отзывов о том, что сериал не сравнить с книгой... Как оказалось - чепуха все это. Отличный сериал. Лично мне даже больше оригинала понравился. Нет тех черт творчества Симмонса, которые мне всегда в его книгах казались ложкой дегтя. Кроме, к сожалению, концовки - последнюю серию местами запороли. Например, в той ее части, которая про самоубийство Гудсера. Если бы Хикки и его команда передохли, отравившись его мясом, я бы понял смысл этого сюжетного хода. Но они попались на ловушку Гудсера, а убил их все равно Туунбак, тем самым лишая смысл сюжетный ход. Во-вторых, смерть Туунбака как-то нелепо обставлена. Конечно, в отличие от книги, в сериале его сделали уязвимым к оружию, и несчетные раны можно назвать реальной причиной его смерти, но сцена срежиссирована так, будто он просто подавился... И по мелочи еще, вроде отрубания руки Крозье просто потому что на ней цепь - эскимоска даже не попыталась вытащить цепь изо рта чудища, могло и не получиться, да, но попытаться все же следовало. В итоге сцена выглядела просто как хоть какая-нибудь замена потерянному языку, как в книге, а на сам сюжет, опять-таки, особого влияния не оказала. А еще так внятно и не объяснили линию поведения Туунбака - почему он нападал именно тогда, когда нападал. Я думал, раз уж он связан с шаманами, то каким-то образом его повадки связаны с ними, но эту их связь так и не раскрыли.
Но все, что было до 10-й серии, - просто радость для глаз. Атмосферно, интригующе, драматично и крайне захватывающе.
@ТатьянаМорозова: да и о какой славе могла идти речь, чтобы он рассказывал родственникам погибших, как его люди умирали один за другим и жрали друг друга и сходили с ума... Ну серьезно?! Даже в Англии единственным вариантом для него было бы забиться в какой-то глуши, но до нее он бы не смог добраться не подвергнув себя всеобщему вниманию и допросам...
@inkpen: книгу не читала, но согласна с Вами - эти моменты очень вышли скомканы и нелепы, как туунбак располовинил двух человек и поставил их на палубе как одного, а потом показали будто умер как обычная животинка...
Мне, правда, показалось, что монстра надо было оставлять «в тумане» (с технической точки зрения). То есть, не показывать его целиком, а просто очертить силуэт как в первых сериях.
Актеры – все отличные. Но фаворит, конечно, Адам Нагайтис, сыгравший Хикки. Это ж надо было умудриться такую мразину наделить такой харизмой)
@1ren: А я наоборот не увидел в нем харизмы. Сыграл как по стандартному клише поехавшего скользкого и мерзкого злодея. До харизматичных антогонистов ему, как на мой взгляд, очень далеко.
По нарастающей. После смерти Франклина стало всё лучше и лучше. Сериал неидеальный, но плюсов гораздо больше, чем минусов. Это как какой-то мазохизм, конечно, смотреть на эти страдания, нагнетающая атмосфера, туман безысходности, обволакивающий с каждым эпизодом всё безнадёжнее, но оно того стоило. Момент, когда Блэнки нашёл таки этот грёбаный проход перед смертью в предпоследней серии, вызвал просто кучу эмоций. В общем и целом, это победа.
Сериал отличный, но монтаж немного кривой во всем сериале из-за этих предрекламных чёрных квадратов. И да, монстра нужно было оставлять до последнего не видимым, так бы мы до конца не знали, не общая ли это галлюцинация и паника. А ещё было бы хорошо (хотя и клишированно), если бы закончили «счастливыми» моментами первых дней на корабле, когда все были в ожидании открытий.
Пожалуй, остановлюсь на этом сезоне, дабы не портить впечатление от сериала. Последние серии невероятно жуткие, становится страшно от осознания того, на что способны некоторые люди. Сцены с каннибализмом до тошноты. За прекрасную актерскую игру ставлю сериалу крепкую 4.
По поводу отрубленной руки. Многие вещи для инуитов того времени были просто непонятными, а тем более такие сложные механизмы как замки. Некоторые из них даже не умели пользоваться ружьями.
Осталась под большим впечатлением от данного сериала, начинала смотреть просто на фоне, но с первой серии он захватил меня целиком и полностью. Я реально переживала за многих героев, им просто невозможно не сопереживать. Сложно представить весь тот ужас, который перенесли реальные люди, оказавшиеся в этой истории. Такая атмосфера безысходности... Очередная смерть положительного персонажа, предательство бывших союзников, самопожертвование друзей ощущались как вставленный в живот нож, прокручиваемый с каждой серией все сильнее и сильнее. Больно и тяжело, но потому и так трогает за живое.
I watched the first season in two days. I was very pleased with the atmosphere, the cast, the effects. I read the book about 10 years ago, I don't remember everything, but I also liked it at the time, as a lover of thick volumes. I'm still afraid to start the second season, the trailer is not impressed... I'll wait a couple of weeks until the ice mood disappears from me. 10 out of 10.
A rather unusual season, I liked it, but not immediately. He noted Captain Francis' unconventional, exceptional manner of remaining calm and reasonable. In general, the story is full of darkness, hopelessness, but it was filmed attractively. Ships have bottomless holds of abundance, well, except for spoiled preserves. I can't believe how so many things fit there that you can live three winters without saving money, arrange a carnival with decorations, equip many expeditions.

It's a great series, I watched it in one gulp in a few days. The first episodes really need to be experienced, as they wrote, the second part already looks very easy. A tragic story based on real events. An atmosphere of oppressive icy hopelessness. An example of how circumstances affect everyone differently. The captain remained a man to the last, despite all the hardships. The mystique here, however, was poorly revealed, as if Tunbak existed for no purpose, for the sake of a plot to kill and terrify the natives, and his death was ridiculous. I'm planning to read the book now, and I think it will be exciting.
Discussion of the 10 episode of the 1 season Discuss this episode
131This grim discovery by Crozier is recreated based on contemporary accounts of Inuit testimony, which describe the discovery of the remains of one man "festooned" with jewelry, as depicted.
The Doctor sacrificing himself in order to kill Hickey is really strong.
Hickey's finally dead. Tuunbak died very stupidly, so to speak, the greed of the fraer ruined him.
The series, of course, is good and looks in one go, but the ending seemed crumpled. It feels like all the "juicy" moments were simply torn out of the book (where everything is probably written in detail and convincingly), just so that they would be.
And it's a shame for the doctor. I wanted to look at the torments of the poisoned team and viciously shout "This is for Sir Goodsir, bitches!", but the bear ruined everything.

But it even looked kind of silly to me.
Almost everyone except Tuunbak was either definitely on this expedition (cannibalism, poisoning and insanity), or at least could have been (rebellions are not confirmed, but possible).
Is it true that for you to be strong is to sing the national anthem of England to the death and praise Queen Victoria?
"In weighing the probabilities and improbabilities of the "last resource," the foremost question is — not the nature of the extremity; but, the nature of the men. We submit that the memory of the lost Arctic voyagers is placed, by reason and experience, high above the taint of this so easily-allowed connection; and that the noble conduct and example of such men, and of their own great leader himself, under similar endurances, belies it, and outweighs by the weight of the whole universe the chatter of a gross handful of uncivilised people, with domesticity of blood and blubber. [...] Because they served their country well, and deserved well of her, and can ask, no more on this earth, for her justice or her loving-kindness; give them both, full measure, pressed down, running over. Because no Franklin can come back, to write the honest story of their woes and resignation, read it tenderly and truly in the book he has left us. Because they lie scattered on those wastes of snow, and are as defenceless against the remembrance of coming generations, as against the elements into which they are resolving, and the winter winds that alone can waft them home, now, impalpable air; therefore cherish them gently, even in the breasts of children." C. Dickens "The Lost Arctic Voyagers"
"There's a little bit of a human layer in us
Layered shakily and alarmingly;
It's easy to turn us back into cattle,
It's very difficult to get it back up."

. Don't watch Chernobyl, people are generally decomposing there, ugh
Maybe the first episodes really misled you, but both the real story of the ships, and the book, despite the elements of fiction, and the series itself - they are originally about a proud civilized man who goes to conquer Mother nature, and from whom this mother nature eventually tears out piece by piece his civilization.
The comparison with the hills has eyes is insulting, it's like eating tuna steak in a restaurant and saying that it's exactly the same as canned food for 70 rubles.
As for your delight at the scenery and costumes of that era, and your dissatisfaction with the sight of flesh and blood (which, by the way, are not present at all often), I can say that this is only a sign of excessive infantilism. All these are two sides of the same coin, this is certainly not a warship in battle (that's where the whole meat grinder movie would be), but still an expedition involving extremely dangerous activities, it would be blasphemy to avoid demonstrating possible injuries, illnesses and other things in such a complex event that is going downhill. And the fact that the monster is drawn does not change the essence much, replace it with a couple, three real polar bears, it will be the same, or even worse, the bear will not be embarrassed at all by the sight of the butchered meal and its contents. In general, an undeserved and outrageous criticism of a man who obviously wanted to watch a gentle fairy tale in the spirit of the Victorian era. But since everyone has the right to an opinion, it makes no sense to develop a response to this comment.
Crozier didn't turn around. And he didn't run. And he didn't look over his shoulder. He's slowly flying out of the cabin..."
"For a second he was sure that he could hear the bunk creak and the nest of frozen blankets stir as the mummified thing behind him reached for him. He could hear the dry tendons in the dead arm stretching and snapping as the brown hand with its long brown fingers and too-long yellow nails slowly rose."
The supervillain is fresh, yes) but they are very tenacious in real life.
Not a bad cast, everything is cheerful.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the original source, but after reading that the ending in the series is alternative and it seems like the ending from the book in the comments above, having watched, in my opinion, an excellent film adaptation, you can not read it. Although in such filmed works there is always a place for fiction that departs from the original source. After all, a literal film adaptation of a book is always difficult.
What is the essence of the finale? Why didn't the captain deliberately leave with his men in the final? In the book, how was it? What was his motivation?
Maybe I managed to blink because I didn't understand what the fuck he was doing and bluntly merged himself and stayed with them instead of sailing home? Why did they even need a line to land with these pleas to go save them all, what was the love line for (if it didn't even lead to anything.. at least they showed a mini-scene saying that an expedition had arrived and they were telling that lady that he had not survived, like everyone else. ) ?
It haunts me : with
Well, it's just that often, when you try to explain your position, you explain that you personally didn't like this or that, and people react so sharply right away: "F**k off, go to matre svaeva fezruk sirialkroot, and everyone doesn't give a fuck if you like it!e!E111!!" and all that :)
Oh damn, something in the series did not notice his thought: with
And about the love line and the sushi line in general, I meant that if you cut them out of the series, then it seems to me that he won't lose anything at all. These lines didn't lead anywhere anyway. The fact that, for example, the captain would not have a love interest in the series, or if they had just told about it in words and not wasted time, then the series, it seems to me, would not have lost anything at all.
Anyway, thanks for the reply.
It would have been better if it had been shown in the series, rather than having to pick it out of the book later..
in general, one creak of the masts is enough for me to come to combat readiness, immediately full speed ahead, seven feet under the keel and a tailwind" aahahahh so cute))) funny way she wrapped it up))
BUT it's justifiably interesting! Thanks again for the reply!
and it looks like the child at the end with him is his (or adopted, it doesn't matter. it is important that in these ice floes he seems to have found a family and people who need him)
and he stayed because ****spoiler**** from silent he had 2 children. and no one was waiting for him there.
something like this /
if we compare both the book and the series on a scale of 10, then I would give the book an 8, the series no more than 5.
so it's better to read, there are no options here. The book is just great.
and this is also purely my opinion))
But still, the series is great and very interesting. But no better than a book.
I wonder if Goodman thought he could kill a bear like that, knowing that it eats everyone, or if he just wanted to annoy Hickey.
ЗЫ. Я вот не представляю, что во втором сезоне нам хотят показать. Если связи не будет совсем, то к чему тогда "Террор"?
Ну разве что это будет приквел или спин-офф про путешествие той самой спасательной экспедиции. Но все равно это будет не так увлекательно и неизведанно, как случилось с экипажами Террора и Эребуса.
С таким успехом почему бы не снять... не знаю...ну от балды стреляю, например чего бы не снять "Титаник 2" , в котором будут бегать по городам огромные титаны, но это будет именно продолжение того самого "Титаник"а ибо это ж слово может и другое значение иметь , а значит чего бы и не снять ?
Или условный "Чужой 5" , что б это было типа частью франшизы и всё такое, но было про...не знаю... мать которая ростит чужого ребёнка, так как "чужой" тоже имеет разные значения)))
ЗЫ: Не думай что доёбываюсь или пытаюсь как-то задеть, просто мне действительно не совсем понятна логика ..
Вот если сериал будет опять касаться темы этой экспедиции и хотя бы упоминать корабли, то тогда да. Но условный второй сезон этого сериала про превозмогание какой-нибудь там команды корабля в времена Второй Мировой каким боком будет касаться этого названия и сериала в целом ? Не понимаю ((
Хехх, вот рейтинги это да, тут отлично понимаю..
и на том спасибо что не сделали из фрэнсиса и леди семейную пару как в книге
книга и сериал такие разные но одинаково убивающие душу
Ну и конечно, мистер Хикки теперь, однозначно, один из лучших безумных сериальных злодеев последнего времени. Смотреть, как он протягивал свой отрезанный язык монстру, было крайне жутко. Увы, не получилось у него стать мистером Безмолвным.
Интересно, что будет дальше...
По сути то и неудача экспедиции как раз в том, что капитаны надеялись "оттаять" со своим кораблем к лету и поплыть дальше покорять Север, но природа решила иначе.
+ к вопросу про свинец и капитана. но что-то мне подсказывает, что так просто было надо для сюжету)
пока не читала описания романа, все нравилось) сейчас хочу уже и книгу прочитать)
в общем, да, финал на логику немного подкачал, но в остальном все просто отлично.

Но все, что было до 10-й серии, - просто радость для глаз. Атмосферно, интригующе, драматично и крайне захватывающе.
Мне, правда, показалось, что монстра надо было оставлять «в тумане» (с технической точки зрения). То есть, не показывать его целиком, а просто очертить силуэт как в первых сериях.
Актеры – все отличные. Но фаворит, конечно, Адам Нагайтис, сыгравший Хикки. Это ж надо было умудриться такую мразину наделить такой харизмой)
книгу не читала, но сериал, как по мне, шикарный! просто взахлёб.
Последние серии невероятно жуткие, становится страшно от осознания того, на что способны некоторые люди. Сцены с каннибализмом до тошноты.
За прекрасную актерскую игру ставлю сериалу крепкую 4.
