it seems that during these 12 episodes I felt the whole flurry of human emotions. and it's all very cool, but please, someone, put my heart back together 💔
Although I didn't understand some of the places. What about the relationship between Maryanne and her mother? What is the whole conflict?
This is my opinion
I thought it would be a complete story
And the series, like the book, is unusual in that almost nothing action-packed happens in it, but nevertheless it is interesting to watch.
Right into the heart
It's a shame that in the series, as in the book, Maryann's family relationships were given very little time. I thought that maybe more would be told about this in the series, which would better explain the character and actions of the main character. And in the book there was only a hint, they say, well, the father was bad there, so, apparently, everything is bad for the others, the end.
And the series in fact very correctly conveys the content of the book, I did not notice any deviations from the plot. Probably, this is a plus. Although... The devil knows, I love open finals so much," they lived happily ever after " now you can't really meet anywhere else, because it's unrealistic... But I would like some depth a little more, so that the same relationships in families are better spelled out, otherwise it turns out a kind of cardboard - very beautiful, glossy, atmospheric, but in fact a dummy. Two nitakushi have been fucking each other's brains for a very long time: "we are friends, we are not friends, we are friends, we are not friends," and that's it. And now the readers / viewers are sitting and wondering what is wrong with these heroes, are they just two fools or what? And we have to think about it, because they wrote/showed us only the very tip of the iceberg with languid sighs, sex and suffering, and that's all.
And despite all the above, the impressions remained positive. And for this, many thanks to the great acting work.
and I don't see any special tragedy in the finale. How much these relationships have endured: and the stupidest mistakes and vicissitudes of fate – they will definitely be able to master a normal adult life. It is quite obvious that the cornerstone here is spiritual intimacy, not physical (no matter how important it is). They will call each other on Skype every evening and the year will fly by in an instant.
I watched it in one evening.
It was amazing.
Special thanks for the scenes with active consent. And in general, how subtly filmed the sex.
And it's great to see the characters grow up.
I didn't read the book, I ordered it after the series)
About people who don't seem to be together, and where friendship is more important and stronger than fragile relationships, and where people are "needed" to make you better and stronger, and then you let them go. normal people in their modern view with deep traumas, father absences, complicated relationships and trips to a psychotherapist as a last resort.
And the impossibility of a normal healthy relationship with anyone until they figure themselves out.
It reminded me of the plot of the anime Paradise Kiss.
I haven't read the book yet.
Obviously, there is no second season planned.
Enjoy your viewing
The actors played very believably and showed their feelings!
And I really want to believe that in a couple of years they will definitely meet and everything will be fine with them.
The beautiful and real acting is simply amazing!
And according to the series... I didn't expect anything at all, but I was immediately drawn out, and that, I think, is the charm for an inexperienced person. It was fun to show the interaction of daddy issues when meeting with care and affection. Can relate. I give the series 7/10, for the lack of pretentiousness and quick immersion.
The result: a stingy tear and a sick heart
I really liked the series)
Despite the fact that they were so strongly attracted to each other when they were together, there were always some problems and omissions in their relationship, because of which, again, the two of them suffered and tormented each other.
Initially, I was counting on something more simple in terms of shooting, so I was pleased with the framing, directing, soundtrack - everything looks very beautiful and organic
The series has an amazing atmosphere, music, lighting; cameramen, screenwriters, directors, actors did an incredible job! I will definitely review it!
The last episode was a disappointment :(
The sex is so realistic that you want to applaud 👏 how could you take it off like that
But in general, I liked the series.
About the heroes: it's vital. All their incomprehensible actions are a cross between teenage hormonal imbalances and complexes of the main character, obviously imposed by an unhealthy family atmosphere. An unhealthy attraction to pain... Both physically and emotionally, with regard to the main character.
But, as they say, "people who love don't break up, even when they break up." An amazing tension is transmitted between the GG, even goosebumps from their looks.
For me, in the unfinished finale, they are together, discarding all complexes and accepting all their sides)
I sincerely do not understand such admiration and delight from many people (both critics and ordinary viewers). For me personally, these 12 episodes are a waste of time. I had already lost hope for another 4 or 5 episodes and wanted to turn it off altogether, but decided to close the gestalt (fortunately, the series are not so long, and there will be no sequels).
My main complaint is to the meaning (or rather, to its absence), to the main characters (what kind of people are you, whatever you are, but definitely not normal in the conventional sense). Some kind of complete stupidity and misunderstanding, problems for the sake of problems. Yes, you will talk to each other at least once, not only about whether it is possible to continue sex or it is better to stop. And it seems that there is a plot, and some events are happening, locations are changing, but it feels like nothing is happening at all. There are two characters that you are somehow trying to get into and get interested in. And attempts are futile. The only thing that hooked me was the brother of the main character, from the first shots it was clear that this was a nasty guy, just a very disgusting character and all his actions.
What did I like about the series? Its technical side, everything is at the highest level. Nice picture, soft filters, beautiful frames. All this creates some kind of lampiness and sincerity (well, at least something here should create it).
In conclusion, I can say that this is the most stupid series about teenagers that I have ever seen. Handsome, but stupidly stupid and certainly never "vital". And the concept of normality is different for everyone, I won't argue with that.
A direct translation of the name Normal People as "Normal people" is probably not the best solution, in Russian it would be more accurate to say "Ordinary people".
the only thing is, I would have preferred a more cheerful ending, without parting, but the whole last series did not leave the feeling that everything would end with this. well, this time they at least sincerely discussed everything, finally came to that mutual understanding.
maybe in a year, they will find each other again and, finally, everything will work out as it should.
If you really love a person, you need to be able to let them go from you so that they can come back to you someday. Or not to return, but this is true love.
The main characters lived together for several years, even if they were not always physically close, grew up, and were able to overcome some of their inner demons. And that, in fact, Connell's childish declaration of love to Marianne at the beginning of the season, at the end, became real, conscious and deep, because there is a reciprocal recognition of Marianne.
It is very difficult to look at the characters in their moments of inactivity, but you understand how much this is a life rake that they step on. And so it's so nice to see how the characters were able to grow up in the end (the bar scene at the end when Marian answers I love you)Very interesting symbolism/dynamics with the clothes and nudity of the main characters. And all these scenes where they look for each other's eyes in the crowd <3
In my headcanon, a trip to New York will not prevent the characters from continuing their relationship
5/5
I haven't read the book, I can only rate the series.
As a result, I have two feelings: for the first half of the series, I thought that I had already outgrown such teenage stories of falling in love. Everything is too childishly naive, abrupt, dramatic. It's a ready-made example of how not to build a relationship. I wanted to quit, but the history of such relationships as chewing gum is addictive.
But since the second half, the characters have FINALLY begun to grow as individuals. And here the real interest has already awakened. Swing friends-not friends were a little unnerving, but the rest of life... And when they began to open up and help each other, it was so joyful.
It's still not entirely clear why there are so many sex scenes. Or let them keep the number, but reduce their timekeeping. What do they show us to focus on? I realized from the second time that they have chemistry and feelings. Why remind me of this every time? Of the advantages: they are always beautifully shot, and it did not go well with pleasant music.
It is also sad that the topic of family was not disclosed, although it is easy to think about it. Just as it is easy to figure out how the characters' lives will turn out next, despite the supposedly open ending.
The actors are pleasant, the music is good, the shooting is fascinating, the atmosphere is there.
Therefore, in general, this is a very pleasant series for one time, but I'm sure that in a couple of months I won't remember it anymore.
And so the whole series is. No elaboration of their problems.
That is, every time they get closer, they become more together than ever before, but this is still not enough even at the very end.
I thought after going through a couple of rounds of such breakups, in the end they would understand what was going on and cope with their cockroaches and find a balance. But no - they went to a new circle, slightly pushed each other away, but did not completely cut off the connection.
Just circles of pain and suffering. It is possible to "burn bridges" when parting just in order to avoid this.
But the series left a great impression. Over these 12 episodes, Sdorowski's characters have fallen in love. Somehow I got into them. They are well spelled out. There are no long-drawn-out moments, detective episodes. Everything is in place. All these individual moments from life. We finished on an emotional note and this ending left a corresponding residue. Cool.
I liked the comment about "normal people" in everyday life. The characters have just a million events during their college years, with an insane saturation. On the other hand, they seem to be smart and studied well. But on the other hand, it's like a philological faculty. And here is Russia...
Those who have experienced something like this in their family will certainly have painful memories.
The series is measured, full of details and minutiae, emotionally intense and incredibly beautiful.
— First, and then it will be better.
***
— I wouldn't be here without you.
— Yes, it's true. You'd be in a different place and you'd be a different person, and so would I... But we've done so much good for each other.
— You know how much I love you, right? I won't be able to feel this way about anyone else in my life.
— I know.
— I'm leaving.
— And I'll stay. And we'll be fine.
it was that all the emotions in the series were so beautifully conveyed, and as if she had experienced it all herself
At first I was slightly skeptical about the story, because I thought that I was looking at an ordinary teenage melodrama where the characters and their feelings are superficial, today they meet with some people, tomorrow with others, etc.
But no, everything turned out to be much more complicated, more complicated, more subtle. Both he and she are so real, alive, fragile, and most importantly - thinking. It seems to me that everything is based on this self-reflection and internal monologues. There is a lot of understatement in the dialogues and views. There are a lot of fears about your feelings, about the present and the future.
I tried to read the book, and despite the fact that it was shot quite close to the text, I liked the series much more. Book...Well then. Not my pitch, not my style. And the characters in the series turned out to be more "voluminous" than in the text.
Thanks to Great Britain for such a sensual work, aesthetically beautiful in every scene.
The series is about how painful and difficult it is to grow up, but the result is beautiful. Nevertheless, their feelings became really deep in the end and the opportunity to let go of a loved one confirms their love.
Beautiful cinematography and a great soundtrack.
- And I'll stay, and we'll be fine.
The series is gorgeous: a lot of emotions, love, hate, envy, jealousy, faces, relationships, everything is done perfectly.
and where can I watch these episodes?
I found here) cute and comical episodes)
Judge for yourself, the heroine has no problems either in housing or financially, the men who find themselves next to her sincerely love her. But our Marianne is constantly unhappy (almost a repeat) because she loves Connor.
Connall is a somewhat depressive type, as writers should be. He also has women and, of course, they are insignificant to him, because he loves only Her. Well, he's also writing a story.
She is deliberately completely naked in many scenes, he is quite suitable as a patient of the yellow house in the middle of the series.
And the apotheosis - The story is read There, and therefore the end of the story has come. In our story, both remain alive, but love is over...
but I think Connolly will still meet his Brassky in NY.
And in the comments is it worth starting a discussion...
But after watching the series, I realized that I just lacked more of their emotions... Or the volume of the book. The book is read in one breath and you don't have much time to understand all their torments, doubts ...
And the series opened the book for me in a new way, and most importantly the emotions of the characters. I cried with them, was sad and worried, and did not scream from the stupidity of the actions.
The series is very beautiful and sensual, but the ending is beyond my understanding.
In theory, the ending is open and in a year, maybe five, anything can happen. Maybe they'll be together . . .
🧡🧡🧡
As a work, it is excellent.
Season 1 ends with the achievement of mutual understanding between Marianne and Connell. At the Christmas party, they confess their love for each other, but seem to realize that neither of them is ready to stay with each other forever.
I like how sex reflects the essence of every relationship. Somewhere you love yourself, somewhere you pretend to love, somewhere you allow yourself to be loved. Finding a person with whom it will be mutual, like gg, is a great success, not everyone succeeds. It's the same in a relationship - when a connection like theirs arises, it will always be with you. Yes, you can live apart. Cool university, full scholarship, travel in Europe... But there is still a void inside that only this person can fill. And you're wasting yourself on people who aren't even standing next to you, it was so painful to see how unhappy they both are... And their new partners understood and felt everything, after all. Staying friends was a very adult decision. To overcome yourself in order to allow the spiritual part of this relationship, support, heart-to-heart conversations, is already a lot. This suggests that even if they are not together, they will always be there for each other - in the sweetest letters, on Skype, anywhere. When you find a person you trust so much, with whom you are ready to share and discuss anything, who makes you better and makes you feel better... This cannot be lost no matter what.
It's strange that no one wrote about it, but the series was renewed for a second season. It seems like they will release two special series called Normal old people about the life of Marianne and Connell after 40 years (initially the creators thought about 5 years, but plans have changed).
A lot of thoughts and insights after watching. Exactly what is needed at the end of the year to understand that all the understatement, wrong actions or inaction is an experience that will definitely lead to something.
And I can't help but cancel the camera work. It was shot so delightfully that I want to screen literally every frame and admire it. And together with soundtracks, acting and a fascinating plot, a great series turned out.
In the middle of the series, the characters became very annoying with their behavior, but I still continued watching. And I understood why they behaved like that. I felt for both of them very strongly, they touched my soul terribly.
And even though the end was left open, I still want to believe that the characters stayed together 😢 after all these sufferings, I want that very stereotypical happy ending
It was wonderful to watch the development of the relationship between Marianne and Conol. Very touching and beautiful moments of their lives are such pure happiness, and the heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking moments (both between them and in relationships with other people) they experienced brought their value to each other to the limit.
An amazing multifaceted life in which the depth of pain is comparable to the depth of happiness that a person can feel.
Everything is so touching and beautifully shot
The bed scenes can simply be reviewed separately
and still can't get away from it
. I initially gave it 4 stars, because it's not fair for a bitch to do that and make me shed so many tears, but considering how he still holds me, I realized that it's all 5
And there were also one-to-one dialogues like in a book, I could predict what one or another character would say)
The actor for the main role was not chosen well, outwardly he is repulsive, it is not pleasant to look at him all the way, although he is popular among women in the plot (taste, yes), and in a compartment with his somewhat amoebic character and hiccups with uncertainty, the obsession of the main character is completely incomprehensible, then you remember that they have it since childhood And children are basically idiots who fall for everything (huh), and her family also crippled her thoroughly. Plus, he doesn't look like a literary talent at all, he doesn't look like an intellectual at all. A kind of impostor.
The sex scenes of GG were shot perfectly, you absolutely believe in their passion, while it all looks beautiful, realistic and absolutely not vulgar.
The series was watched during the evening not without interest. A high-quality, good-looking series. It's hard to break away.
And the question about literary talent? What do you think he should have looked like? Like a typical nerd from American movies? Well , I don 't know , in my opinion this is a stereotype of some kind already
Tasteful? Yes, that's what I wrote - delicious.
Do schoolgirls like athletes? Not everyone (many people like smart lol), but yes, because idiots are children.
Where did I write that he should look like a batan? These are already your stereotypes and don't mold me to them.
Your words, he doesn't look like a literary talent. So I asked, how is it (talent in the sense) Does it look like that to you?
.
The series is just incredible. I do not know how it happened, but he really is so real, so "normal". To my surprise , no one pissed me off in this series, everyone played well
.
And the main characters are just a delight, The chemistry between them is simply unreal. Playing like that is an art because you really believe them. And the sex scenes are just wow, 10 out of 10. All these touches, gasps, and a blush on the cheeks from excitement
.
In this series, even the silence is mesmerizing. Definitely in the piggy bank for your favorite TV series and of course I will definitely review it more than once
Thanks to the creators of this story, the author of the book. The picture turned out to be very high-quality, pleasant to the eye, the soundtracks all feel right.
On the one hand, the characters have grown up, matured, and it is an absolutely sound decision to go their own ways, and not live together in the name of love that originated a million years ago.
On the other hand, what the fuck was it all about then? Maryann will again get involved in a relationship with some kind of abuse (after all, that's exactly what she chose, with the exception of Conell).
In short, I need to sleep with this ending. I don't understand anything yet.
I am very glad that Connell went to a therapist. Now it's Marianne's turn, and then they'll be fine.
Everything that happened with Maryann is just heartbreaking.
the ending was terribly upsetting. And before, it was not entirely clear why they broke up here, but did not get back together here. In the finale, there was a feeling that the reason for the breakup was too far-fetched, just for some kind of drama. Such great love. And he's not so keen on New York, and she could go with him, but for some reason she's not. Everything is perfect, but we broke up and did not even give up hope to the viewer.
A simple human thank you
It's all so simple, normal, normal
I love every minute of the show.
Bed scenes.. they are so sensual and you believe them, you are there 100%. The internal conflicts of the characters are presented smoothly without direct context in the forehead. I haven't read the book, the series was recommended by a young man)) And this says a lot about the person himself!) The ending is adult, conscious and for me so very vital. True love doesn't hold anyone back-probably my short summary from the series.
I did not understand the attitude of Marianne's mother to both of her children, it has not been revealed a fig.
In general, I enjoyed only the visual, and the story itself remained relatively distant for me (but, probably, this is a good thing), it did not become close, recognizable, touching, etc.
Their family is a model of how NOT to behave after you have lived in a family with a domestic tyrant. They had to do everything to get on the healthy path of a relationship. Both as a family and individually for everyone. But they didn't even do the minimum. Because stupid, weak and bad people. I can talk about this because I also grew up in a family with such a father, from whom, thank God, we escaped. It takes brains and love in the heart to raise children in a happy family.
I don't regret a single second that it took to watch it during these one and a half days.
I have not read the book, but I still agree with some of the above - I also absolutely do not see any similarities with 50os and Twilight. And it seems to me that it's about depth. In 50os and twilight, even the dumbest will figure it out, because there all the experiences of the characters float on the surface - the authors literally chew and put them in the mouth of the reader / viewer. Here, in particular, in the series, you need to think about it in order to at least remotely understand why everything happens the way it does (in the book, it's probably even easier to do this, because everything is written in words, and on the screen you need to try to read the atmosphere and facial expressions).
The name "Normal people", it seems to me, in this case does not refer to what supposedly describes the lives of normal people. Normality here lies in social life, the ability to communicate with other people without shutting yourself in, as a goal to strive for peace of mind (if necessary). And the message of the plot is that the main characters did not know how to do this, and when they learned, they became normal.
I admit, even I, who thinks that I kind of understood and realized everything, sometimes had a crazy thought (especially at the end), saying WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE TOGETHER AND LIVE IN PEACE??? But that's the point - the story tells us how it sometimes happens in life and what mistakes people can make because of banal understatements or incorrectly chosen words.
I was also very pleased with how they revealed the topic that men keep everything to themselves. A lot of problems arise from the fact that many of them simply do not know how to express their feelings, and even sort out their feelings inside. Using Connell's example, we see how at the beginning of the series he often simply did not understand how he felt. And by the end, he had learned not only to understand, but also to describe and share his experiences.
In general, the series is a top. I'm so glad I watched it.
And here it is again. A strange decision. Although I haven't read the book, maybe the final thought sounds different there.
The actors are great. Critics praise Paul Mescal for a reason.
The plot is a bit hackneyed: a guy and a girl can't come to an understanding.
I really liked how the series raises several topics at once and how it reveals them. Here you have the fear of other people's opinions and condemnation, and the understatement to each other, and the fear of being rejected, and the theme of "fathers and children", and the fact that the most important thing may be right under your nose, but we do not see it behind our fears, resentments and expectations.
Well-chosen actors, there is not much division into good and bad. The only thing that is unclear is why everyone was so fussing with the brother of the main character. The series has not explained why it is difficult for him, and why he is like this. Perhaps because of the death of his father, or just because he watched how his father behaved with his mother.
The series took me by the head for the whole day. Many people say that this picture is too stupid and hackneyed, but I do not agree with this. In any case, the taste and color, one series will affect, and the other will not.
What then, what now, a heavy sediment remained on the soul after him.
This flashback of their secret first kiss, merged with the last one at the bar on Christmas Day 💔
A sensual, timid, vulnerable first love that will sweep through a lifetime.
I will flatter myself to the end that they will not be able to break this fragile thread and will remain close forever.
