Every time I hear 'Hide and Seek', an avalanche of memories of The O.C. hits me and my brain refuses to perceive it any other way.

I felt offended with her. After all, she's in love and it's sad that the guy is embarrassed to protect her.

And yet their relationship is strange... There seems to be sympathy and attraction, but the fact that in public they behave like strangers is such a guarantee of success. It would be nice if Connell's friends didn't make fun of Marianne. After all, she is probably more offended in this whole situation not by what these friends are saying, but by the fact that Connell does not stop their actions. He doesn't seem to realize what he should have done in this and other similar situations. In general, I don't know what good they can do in the end with such a start.

@k1ryusha: They also agreed that their relationship would be kept secret. If Connel stood up for Marianne, then their secret would be immediately revealed and off she went... It's either one or the other.

How difficult can a relationship between a girl and a guy be ?
I wonder which will be stronger: love or public opinion?

The bed scenes are so beautifully shot, I'm even a little surprised
And it's a shame for Marianne, and Connell isn't even trying to do anything.

What kind of love is everyone writing about? They barely know each other (as individuals), the whole development of the characters' relationship lies in sex positions. The screenwriters did not bother and limited themselves to a dialogue about how Marianne would like to "watch him have sex with another." You can close your eyes to the fact that the guy does not protect her at school - everything is logical here, their affair is a secret. But when he openly says that he will miss their sex, Marianne kisses him and offers to go to him. So the girl doesn't care that she's being used? Where are the feelings here, excuse me? Some kind of caricature.

Marianne obviously knows about love and sex only from books. The only thing that confuses me about the character is that she doesn't seem to be a feminist at all (in the first episode, this fact was noted). That's why she's wearing pink glasses.

Actually, the guy tells her himself that he will miss her. And only after that, Marianne clarifies whether he will miss sex.

@teplanebudet: у меня было предположение, что перевод не совсем точен.
в оригинале она произносит слово sleeping with me вместо sex, что буквально переводится как "спать со мной".
и тут двояко, что подразумевается под этим:
1. переспать во множественном числе, то есть речь идет конкретно о сексе
2. спать вместе - как род отношений с чувствами, в совокупности включающий в себя и секс. это нельзя назвать отношениями в полной мере, так как они скрываются и в принципе не раскрывали более глубоких чувств, но и это уже нечто большее, чем взаимная симпатия (в которой они оба признались друг другу и теперь реализуют во встречах, включающих секс).

я могу быть неточна в переводе, но мысль о том, что герои стали свободно произносить слово "секс" в присутствии друг друга, но в данном моменте было использовано именно "спать", не отпускает.

Отличная серия на детали: такси в отражении на котором приехала вначале Марианна и диалог в конце серии снят просто бомбически! На крупном плане Коннела камера немного совсем покачивается, держа и чёткий план задний дома, это подчёркивает его твёрдость и реальное не понимание своих чувств. Крупный план на Марианне: камера неустойчивая, шатается, задний план замылен, как в тумане, Марианна на грани эмоционального взрыва внутри. Операторская работа тут просто браво!

Какие-то ненормальные отношения. Он не хочет никому говорить, что они встречаются, не защищает ее от нападок других, а ее видимо все устраивает, раз она ему прощает такое отношение к себе.

@olgakornelyuk: очень ненормальные, она сама себя с ним ставит странно: сама же предложила сохранять тайну, и постоянно как будто подчеркивает, что ей от него нужна только постель, и ей вообще норм, если ему нравятся другие девушки или он с кем-то спит. Ну может таким образом пытается его вывести на "нет-нет, мне нужна ты одна и вообще любовь до гроба!" - но мальчик с явно не созревшей психикой, да и вообще говорят мужчины в понимании таких намеков не сильны)

@Shi3andra: про парней это правда. Я в детстве десять лет дружил с одной девочкой, во дворе гуляли только вместе вдвоём, она приглашала меня на свои Дни рождения, хотела перевестись в мою школу, она иногда ненароком меня целовала, её друзья постоянно спрашивали меня люблю ли я её, а я отвечал, что просто с ней дружу. В итоге спустя десять лет как я последний раз её видел, она мне сказала, что тогда любила меня. Для меня это было большим открытием. Так что да, мужская часть человечества в этом плане развивается медленнее женской.

@Darula: я понимаю, что вы имеете в виду! действительно странно, что подростки могут быть настолько незрелыми и так нелепо проявлять свои чувства, но одновременно заниматься сексом настолько грамотным и безопасным образом. но, с другой стороны, именно такого положения дел можно добиться, если с раннего возраста родители будут адекватно говорить с детьми о сексе, без сказок про аистов и капусту, а в школе будут нормой уроки по половому просвещению. подростки всегда будут вести себя глупо и инфантильно, но было бы здорово, если бы в теме секса они были настолько же просвещены, как Коннелл и Мариэнн: ранних беременностей и случаев распространения зппп будет в разы меньше.

То, что Коннел не заступился за МэриЭнн безусловно неприятно. Но он также и не заступился за маму, когда его друг насмехался над ней. Что его мама работает уборщицей и её вызывают колокольчиком. Складывается ощущение, что он вообще ничего против своим друзьям сказать не может...

Как же раздражает Алан, брат МэриЭнн!

—Но ты же должен знать, что чувствуешь.
—Нет. На самом деле у меня с этим проблемы. Иногда я оглядываюсь назад и... думаю о том, как себя тогда чувствовал, но... я понятия не имею, что чувствую.

Oh... How familiar it is to me.
During my school years, when I met my first love, we also hid our relationship for about six months. Why and why? I still can't explain it to myself.
Except I was kind of cool, and the guy was quiet and calm.
Apparently, happiness loved silence, in our case.

I'm stuck on the visual of the series, its atmosphere and musical design. I really like it. The bed scenes are shot sensually and aesthetically. I was pleased with their awareness, in the sense that they noted the moment about protection. And I was also pleased with the guy's care for the girl and the fact that he calmed her down before the first time. In reality, unfortunately, it's not going so well, for the most part.

To the soundtrack, I immediately stuck two favorite songs "Hide and Seek" from Imogen Hip, which has been etched into my memory since the days of the OC and Elliot Smith's "Angeles", which I remember from "Supernatural" (Jensen Ackles covered it). The series practically put me in a trance state.

Regarding the plot, the whole situation with friends and the fact that Marianne was called names is unpleasant. But it's understandable why Connell didn't stand up. First, they agreed that their relationship would be a secret. Secondly, he himself has not yet realized how he feels about her. There is no love as such yet, there is a fascination with each other. They only get to know each other. But the end of the series outlined the first difficulty in their relationship. They clearly want the same thing, but due to inexperience in the relationship, they do not know how to convey their thoughts to each other. And this is quite natural for teenagers. So, the first misunderstandings have already started. We look further, while we like everything.

The characters are very emotionally closed, so it's hard for them to admit feelings for each other, they scare them very much, and both convince themselves that everything that happens between them is sex, and both pretend that everything suits everyone. But in fact, it is such a rarity when there is a harmonious connection, both mental and chemical, when people are attracted to each other and they just feel good next to each other. It is a pity that due to mental trauma it is difficult to express what you really feel, appreciate these feelings and defend, if necessary, in front of other people

Babies, stop feeling sorry for her. Oh, she was insulted, oh, he didn't stand up for her!
She demands it herself, she just screams about such an attitude towards her. She thinks they're fools, but she doesn't keep silent — which would be smarter, but spits bile. She doesn't know any other way to attract attention.
Everyone gets what they deserve.

I liked the book extremely. I decided to watch the 2020 TV series. Rooney is an Irish writer, and the film was shot in Ireland. It is a rare occurrence that the film did not spoil the book. Moreover, he brought an emotional coloring to the generally ascetic text.
