The scene in the cafe was filmed like that - it seemed to me, or when the heroine looks into the frame, she turns out to look at each other with the "vision" of her dead friend?
And yet, when she went into the priest's room, was he already tipsy? Or did Andrew Scott play so freely?))
In fact, the ending is very ambiguous. Although it seems that Flibag wanted it, it seems to me that it was not at that moment, and it was as if the Priest took advantage of her. I'm very curious where this is going.
I also really like that the priest also sometimes starts looking into the camera, destroying the fourth wall, just like her. First as a joke in a cafe, and then in the evening in the church. A very interesting idea and a brilliant performance!
@makarowamarija: he's not looking at the camera, but where she's looking) he does not destroy the 4th wall, it destroys. and he destroys it by destroying the 4th wall. haha
I understand that dark!Scott is a favorite of screenwriters and directors, but it was a shame for the heroine. This is not the right moment. And they destroyed the cool dynamics of the two characters a little bit. But in general, a cool series, a tragicomedy with a favorite English humor, the closest to Russian, imho. I watched all the episodes in one evening with pleasure.
@soyksenia: I don't know how it was in the original, but in translation the priest said "On your knees" in such a tone that I thought we weren't waiting for kisses Oh I feel even more cheeky and blasphemous than the series))
@soyksenia: I was waiting until the last moment for her to wake up or something like that, because well, why... well, don't do that ((I was disappointed in the holy father.
And I hoped that he would silently enter her confessional, sit next to her, hug her, and she would cry on his shoulder. And he ruined everything. And sex would be completely out of place here.
@SpringSpark: I gave you a hard time, but you're so right. This would be a very correct reaction, given their dynamics. It's one thing to be a "cool priest" who still adheres to some kind of faith, but he doesn't need sex. Another thing is a person who tries to find in service and faith an opportunity to "escape" from natural desires and "breaks down", that is, who has not reached this point where sex is not needed and suffers from it. It's a pity that the second one was taken as a basis. :/
@youarebymyside: it's better for priests to mess with women than with boys, this celibacy is bullshit, it should be left in the Middle Ages, there it belongs
"No, I want it to be every morning. That someone would tell me what to eat, what to love, what to hate, what to get mad about, what to listen to, which band to love, what to joke about, what not to joke about, that someone would tell me what to believe in... Who to vote for, who to love, and how to tell him about it... Probably so that someone would just tell me how to live, Father, because I'm doing everything wrong. And that's why people need people like you. You just tell them how to do everything, what to do, and what they'll get for it. And even though I don't believe in your bullshit and I know that scientifically, no matter what I do, it won't change anything, but I'm scared... Why am I scared?"
@shouldi31: She doesn't want to decide anything, she's used to being decided for her (when she was little), and then she grew up and had to somehow live in adulthood, where she needs to make decisions herself. Perhaps psychologically GG is still a child (at best a teenager)
@illseethese: it is difficult for everyone to take responsibility for their lives, and she also said "I did not live my life right" - she regrets many actions and cannot forgive herself, and also "what to joke about" as if about a sister who often gives her instructions, that is, she would like to be closer to her sister, she I am ready to listen to all her decrees. gg wants her life to be right, she doesn't want to offend anyone, especially since she didn't want to drive her best friend to suicide, especially since she wouldn't want her own sister to feel worse for some reason against her background.
"HIS ARMS. His arms. :( His neck. :( His beautiful neck."
On the one hand, "Kneel" is a look, and how Andrew acts out (and he can) — it's all very sexy. On the other hand, such an amazing dynamic was building up! And he pushed her away, pushed her away, and I would be happy to see this friendship. Yes, she would have suffered for him, but she would have held back. And when she almost started praying, I was on the verge of tears, and then she spoke to him, and I just ;___;, because well, how familiar is the feeling to many of us. And this conversation with Dad, and how she talked about "I do not know what to do now with all this love for her." I love good dramas, and these are important topics. :( Sex and romance ruin everything too often, ugh.
Music, by the way, arias (?) They picked it up amazingly.
And how Andrew peeked into the camera and made faces, so to speak. They often try to avoid looking at the camera, but here they played well on the chip of the series. :')
Probably, everyone here knows that Andrew is a great actor, judging by the comments, but I have never seen him anywhere except Sherlock before. And in this series, I finally became convinced that he plays like hell!
@justy: I would advise you to watch the movie "Corpses" (2003), undoubtedly a direct proof of the acting talent of young Andrew. As he gets older, he only adds to it, and the years add to his charm.
Omg, I join all those who also think that this turn of the relationship between the priest and the heroine is somewhat strange. It's just that they had such a dynamic, as if they were kindred spirits, he even glimpsed the break in the fourth wall, and then in the finale, already from the priest's joke about his rank, I felt that he seemed to have distanced himself from the heroine and became a stranger, ceased to be understanding, and at the very moment when she was in this I needed it. At least the painting fell down. PS. Andrew Scott, opening the curtain, was just shocked, it's against the law to be so hot
I really liked it. A great ending. Probably it should have happened. I really liked the character of Andrew Scott. I think this is a man who had a lot of different things in his life and not very good, who found salvation in God. And it is clear that he really believes, loves to be a priest, enjoys it. He says he gave up a lot for this. T probably saved him in some way. That is why, if he refuses this, then his life will go according to P.. But he's also human. There in the church, I think he wanted to comfort her, but when he saw her, he couldn't cope with himself. )) Yes, he was generally drunk, he thought about her all day, barely restrained himself when he saw her, "stand there." The story of how one priest casted himself ...)) Just met two not perfect broken people who found a soul mate, but can't be together, it can destroy them even more. I also liked that no one says anything, does not explain. I.e. they understand everything about each other without words. After watching, there was sadness, but confidence that everything will be fine. P.S. I can't help but admire the talent of Phoebe Waller-Bridge. What a cool first season and what a cool, but completely different second season. And how subtly she put everything together.
if they had done it anyway, it would have been amazing, of course, but somehow very wrong. and it's not even that he's a priest, blah blah don't give a shit at all - but gg it wouldn't do any good at all, she would just add him to the string of those she used, and then they would smash each other's brains for a month or two and then part with screams and mats, forever mixing the feeling of love for each other into one disgusting lump along with the pain of wounded pride and feelings of frustration. and perhaps this would have completely ruined the priest's life and he would have just drunk himself, "stepped" towards the bike, so to speak, like gg's girlfriend at the time. because after this kind of action, his consolation in the church and God would have already been fucked up for him and he would simply not be able to return there. you could even say that they have, by and large, the same kind of mental pain, and not their soul mates. and this is such a foundation for a normal relationship.
Everyone writes about the final scene, but I can't help but write about the scene in the middle. I could already feel my eyes filling with tears and sobbing close to the exit, but crazy in love out of nowhere just made me laugh hysterically. How wonderful everything is, well, what a plague!
Here it is... the subtle nature behind all this mask ...She opened up so much. and that's how much stronger a relationship can be if you don't start with sex. It 's a pity that he ruined the moment . but God made himself felt in time! healing is certainly a tin.. but you could have married and then not against the law!
@godeira: I join this point of view, even though we seem to be in the minority :) I don't even have much to add, except to summarize that the value of this and many other TV series/movies/books is precisely that there are no good and bad guys there, because they don't exist in life either, and if there is, it is negligible. And so the viewer sits, looks at the characters, the same complex, weak and desperate, who (do not) cope with everything that they have inside and outside, and then this viewer remembers that the world does not look like a simple and understandable picture, like all the people in it, including the viewer himself, and it's so sad and so amazing. And also about the final scene: someone wrote above how wrong it all ended, because the main character opened up, although it was very hard for her, but she was not heard. I agree to some extent, but on the other hand - even if he didn't hear her, as for me, in this case it's not important what her confession was about, but how deep it was, it's very, very necessary to trust someone to say "I do not know who I am, why I am, what to do with all this." Especially after this "I'm just trying to get to know you - Well, I don't want that!". There is so much intimacy in such a confession, probably more than in all the sexual contacts that the heroine had before (or at least those that were shown/told to us). It just can't be more intimate. And maybe they both knew it. And then, what could he answer her if he, most likely, is the same himself, only he found his own way to escape from fear, but after all, this is just a game of hide-and-seek with himself, and he understands this, and therefore he has nothing to offer her and nothing to help. Therefore, everything is very clear and logical, even if not too correct.
Thanks!!! I absolutely agree with you. I think that in this rush we were just shown the reality that he is the same person (even if he is a sinner), and is not always able to control himself. And it's like everyone forgot that he was a priest not so long ago, and he drinks and swears. So I don't think the scene is out of the context of their relationship at all, and the fact that she did open up to him is the most important thing.
@Marie_Lagrange: These dialogues, omoyboh. On the edge, on the edge. It seems that for the sake of this ringing tension, I am ready to review the last scenes of the third and fourth series endlessly.
Oh my God! Andrew Scott is able to excite even a toothpick! A cruel series! An amazing series! Each episode is a new discovery! Phoebe Waller-Bridge is incredibly cool.
Somehow I didn't really understand how an atheist GG with a Catholic priest got to a Quaker meeting, well, okay Oo I really didn't expect two episodes before the end almost a whole episode about their mother's death, funeral, past, all this pain... I don't believe that GG called all her sins, all her pain in confession and could not even mention Boo, how is this possible? Everything is cool about the priest, but in fact the whole season revolves around him, his theme and his character. It's all interesting, intriguing, exciting, etc., but the character is too good and too bright, pulls all the attention. If it had been like that from the very beginning, I wouldn't have minded anything, but he appeared in the middle of the story and now looks like there were GG and other characters in season 1, and in season 2 there were two main characters and other characters. In many reviews that I have read, the priest appears almost in the first lines as one of the main features of the story. And due to this, the topic of Boo was pushed nowhere further, only that her name was called and shown twice. For a year, they say, all the guilt and other mental torments have resolved themselves.
It seems to me quite organically that the main characters were covered by a wave of passion and they gave in to it. There is already constant sexual tension between them, and here, in the final scene, it still doubled, as the heroine decided to share the most intimate, valuable and very personal. As she jokingly said before confession, she would tell him her secrets, and he would be able to captivate and control her. But the joke turned out to be very true (as it always is), it's scary to tell something very important to yourself to another person. But despite this, she decides. This played a key role. There is nothing more sexy than intimacy.
Oh, I can't, I stopped at 5 minutes to write how I love that the priest breaks the fourth wall, she did it before him, but it was more like a trick, and now the priest is so interested in it, she screamed when he looked at the camera.
interestingly done. only the heroine dared to trust a man, and he certainly decided to take advantage of this and have fun. and in the end, he will probably also make her guilty for leading her astray) classic
Somehow, for the first time, I see GG crying, at my mother's funeral, and my heart couldn't stand it either. At the moment of the conversation with her friend, when GG asked where she should put her love now, she could not hold back her tears 😢 The final scene is very powerful, my heart is still pounding from the heat of passion and drama 😨
It's so hot. BUT. It would be much better if he really supported her, just supported her, and then we would have thought together. Pancake. Hugs and consolations would be more appropriate. :( I feel now GG is going to break bad.
"Where should I put this love now?" It hurts a lot, goodbye. The inability to express your feelings destroys people, and badly. I knew Claire looked more like her father than her mother. Both are jealous that they cannot also have fun and cope with life with the help of this fun, like their relatives, especially in moments of despair.
The moment in the church is About MA GOTH. There is nothing more to add, I agree with everyone who wrote above why their destructive impulse looks absolutely logical, and why he couldn't just sit down and hug her. They are perfect characters in books, there are no such characters in life, and this is the best we could wish for.
And sometimes we all really need someone to come and tell us what to do. I really need it.
I don't know, for me personally, everything is very consistent. I understand that everyone was waiting for simple hugs, tears, prayers, but this is not the series and not only the heroine is revealed to us here, they are all like that here. The priest himself could barely contain himself, what are his thoughts about her boobs in the place where they went. Here we were shown that the heroine for once let go of thoughts about sex (for a minute) and tried to be "good", but the priest who held back for so long on the contrary broke down. I am very interested in what will happen next, because this episode, even though they both wanted it at one time or another, caused them injury and how will they handle it now?!
This is one of the most erotic scenes ever. Holy.her father repeatedly stressed that sometimes she did not seem to be with him, that she did not answer questions - she did not say anything that would make her vulnerable. It seems to me that this highlights the piercing depth of a different sex, not the one that was before. The more naked you are mentally, the stronger the feeling of intimacy. And it happens that all moral clothes are thrown off and it is impossible to resist.
And yet, when she went into the priest's room, was he already tipsy? Or did Andrew Scott play so freely?))

This scene in the church with such music 🔥😱
you could even say that they have, by and large, the same kind of mental pain, and not their soul mates. and this is such a foundation for a normal relationship.
It's just something
Such a life in every episode!
it's getting more and more interesting, I can't believe that the series is over .. :(
and that's how much stronger a relationship can be if you don't start with sex.
It 's a pity that he ruined the moment . but God made himself felt in time!

you, when he told her to get on her knees, I didn't think it was a sinful thing...

"in love" with Andrew Scott from his role as Moriarty
