s01e08 — Episode 8

Such a “call me by your name” vibe! Italy, summer, bicycles! Perfectly!

What an asshole is Jamie 🤦🏻♀️

A very beautiful song sounds at the end of the eighth episode

All episodes of this series are visually beautiful, but this series...just a separate bow to the creators! Such a warm, summery and cozy atmosphere.

I wanted to write about call me by your name, but, thank God, I'm not the only one who caught these vibes. Thanks to the commentator above!

It was like walking through the back streets of Italy again... having plunged into this atmosphere, I do not want to return to reality, just look without being distracted with:

Damn, I even liked Jamie at first.How did he become such an asshole🤦🏼♀️
I felt so sorry for her at those moments and ashamed of his actions.

The only series in the process of which I did not want to fake it, because the beauty is incredible and for once excellent dialogues 🤷♀️

so sorry for Marianne, who at first suffered humiliation from her brother, while having no support from her mother, and having no friends, and now is in a relationship with this fucker Jamie

These "emotional roller coasters" reminded me of the movie "More than Love", where the characters converge and diverge and do not understand that their feelings are real.

It's unpleasant to watch. They love each other, play some ridiculous games, betray their partners, sincerely do not understand why they choke in response. To be in a relationship with uninteresting and even unpleasant people to you personally, to tell them that everything is fine and treat them as if it's their fault that you don't love them, that everything they do is unpleasant to you, and when they reach the verge of despair in their lack of understanding why you are so with them, if everything is fine, it's time to go back to feeling sorry for yourself again.
Indeed, normal people torture themselves and others.

Jamie is some kind of motherfucker 😈

At the moment when Jamie broke the glass, I wanted to rush at him as well. How much self-control does it take to tolerate it.

The atmosphere in this series is wonderful, I immediately wanted to spend the summer in a villa in an Italian town.

Oh, God! They. They say. Together. I'm in shock, ladies and gentlemen)) the characters grow up, albeit slowly and sadly, which means that not everything is lost...

That's Jamie the asshole. Deliberately run into rudeness and scandal, and then be surprised
"Marianne, where are you going?"

It was so stunningly filmed that it was as if I was sitting at the same table with them. That was how it felt, the tension, the awkwardness for Jamie's behavior.

There are very subtle sex scenes in the series. And in general, all the scenes of GG are very intimate. Even those where he is not

Based on all the eight episodes I have watched so far, I am increasingly convinced that the series is quite simple and about simple things. It's just about the feelings of two people for each other. But due to the fact that they cannot tell in a timely and frank manner about what they feel, what they think and what they want, and there is a constant rapprochement, then distance. Maybe that's why the series is called "Normal People" because such a problem in the communication of modern people is quite a normal phenomenon.

In this episode, I really enjoyed the conversation at the table. And especially Connell, who delicately leveled all Jamie's attacks and provocations. However, delicacy is a constant quality of Connell. The only trouble is that excessive delicacy sometimes turns into either modesty, shyness, or timidity. Which leads to trouble, like when a few episodes earlier an understatement led to a completely ridiculous breakup.

In general, the characters are really developing. Previously, Connell was mostly a wingman in the duo of the main characters. But here, without a doubt, he rushed to break up the quarrel and took Marianne's side. (We recall how at school Connell ignored unflattering remarks in her direction).

Ps. I was surprised when a drunk Jamie did not throw his fists at Connell (or at least did not throw insults) when he got into something not really his own business, into a family showdown. Apparently, the authors wanted such a beautiful series not to be spoiled by an ugly scene)

Aesthetics of Italy😻

actually, this is obvious, and Marianne's friend correctly said that inviting Connell to the villa where the current young man will be is equal to the fact that there will inevitably be a conflict.

Marianne quarreled with her boyfriend, decides not to spend the night in the same bedroom with him... "Where can I spend the night?" Marianne thinks. Of course, in the bedroom of the ex, because of which there was an initial conflict with the guy. No, spending the night in a friend's room is not an option. Expect another big scandal in the morning. 🙃

Quote for the episode - It doesn't matter how old your sneakers are if you walk around Paris in them)

This distance kill me...

Oh, this Italian village in summer!
The atmosphere is high

I sat for half an episode and thought how cool it must be to have such a beautiful small villa in Italy that the main drama faded into the background 😅

this series was filmed as pleasantly as possible with each episode I note it more and more the actors are incredible

Italy, of course, not through the eyes of Luca Guadagnino, but wyba and cmbyn and wrwwr caught it

How do the main characters develop from series to series, according to the law of logic, by the end of the story they should succeed

Jamie is such an unpleasant guy, I just wanted to prescribe for him.
I'm surprised that no one except Marianne tried to do this, guys have iron patience. And it's a pity about the glass.
He's kind of a narrow-minded guy in terms of moral values, spoiled, I would even say. And like a naughty child, Alya "you invited Connell, so I'll act like a jerk and show you how wrong you are."..

How cool was it when Connell went to comfort Marianne 😍

I agree with the general opinion, Jamie ue * ok... 🙄

Why are they torturing each other, well, just sit down and talk about everything, straight. It is clear that they both do not like their own ... 😒

Oh, what a cool moment when he caught her, after a broken glass...

Oh, how symbolic (in my opinion) the song is at the end. "Love will tear us apart." It's impossible to love the original of this song. And the cover of the song is very pleasant

Bombastic series!!! Cool episode!! And what an end!!! - they are together in the gallery and the painting. How terrible Jamie looked with his behavior!!!- abomination (slippery horrible type

Jamie the hard abuser)

What a flawed Jamie, a man with an inferiority complex, trying to compensate for his sadistic behavior, both in life and in sex.
Interestingly, Marianne seemed to have come to realize her own value earlier and even expressed condemnation of her mother for giving herself offense, and now she herself is a passive participant in abusive relationships... Ignores the problem and unconsciously pretends/convinces herself deep inside that everything is fine, apparently her psychological defenses work that way.
Everything is shown very vitally.

From the first moment Jaime appeared, I didn't like him right away. An embittered asshole.

Marianne and Connell are so natural and happy next to each other, as if this is how it should be. It's a pity that they understand this themselves, but they can't accept love and happiness. Both need to work out their injuries separately in order to come together on healthier ground and just get high, ignoring self-doubt and defense mechanisms

A very touching series about the youthful love of two slightly insecure guys and girls who themselves cannot understand whether it is love or just friendship. They quarrel together, they cannot live apart without each other, while trying to start a new relationship that does not lead to anything good.

As they say, put a class if you also wanted to hit Jamie

My God, why is this rat sitting at the head of the table, why does he behave as if this is his house, he didn't help in any way, he can't even open a bottle, he just speaks out 🥹
