So, well, I was skeptical initially. And it's hard to say anything about the first series, even though it's an anthology. But damn, something got me hooked on it! Filmed well, very cool. I haven't read the book, I'll tell you right away. Therefore, I evaluate only the artistic component.
I can evaluate it without links to the book. It was beautifully shot. the footage can be downright ‘delicious'. It looked like it was dynamic. there was no desire to turn off or see where the slider of the player is located to determine how much time still needs to be mastered.
Half an hour contains everything that needed to be placed in order to have food for the mind at the end of the viewing, no more, no less - it looks very good.
Before watching, I advise you to read the book based on which the series was filmed, Cecilia Ahern, "The Woman who grew wings." Immediately everything will fall into place and the meaning will become clear.
@ViolinAnn: I read this book, but I didn't know that the series was based on it. I had a feeling of deja vu when I started watching) now it's clear why
I didn't know what the series was about, so by the middle of the series I thought it was something in the style of a Black Mirror and now it turns out that the heroine is already in the game and acting out scenes of racial discrimination.
It was so strange that she decided to stomp all this elegant xs where on foot, instead of at least in the same store to recharge the phone a little and call a taxi. And that she immediately realized from the address written on a piece of paper where this house is located, although it seems like she is not familiar with the city (which can be seen from the beginning of the series with the moment of unsuccessful booking of housing), and even named the distance in kilometers. If she knew where it was, she would have known how inconvenient it was to get there. And this ripple on the mirror, the hanging of the leadership during negotiations...
As a result, according to the above story, it is not clear to me personally why the heroine began to disappear. But it was interesting, so I took it upon myself to read the original source. The story with the title of this series is just the first in the collection. There, the woman also gradually becomes invisible, but in completely different circumstances and with a more understandable explanation of the reasons, although the fact itself is still fantastic. I decided to read the rest of the stories. The film adaptation is very loose, there are many discrepancies, but they complement each other in an interesting way.
@Anastassia_79: Yes, it was somehow expressed quite implicitly in the series) In the book, it is from self-doubt, conviction of one's own insignificance.
@-p-s-y-c-h-e-: Apparently it was not in vain that the "impostor syndrome" was mentioned at the beginning - all this is a big allusion to it, although it is not so well shown in the series, yes. There seems to be more emphasis on the fact that she gave a piece of herself in the book, and then she was afraid that she would be "perverted", and as if everyone through viar "took away" the feeling of "how to be a heroine", so in the end she could no longer be herself.
There is also the movie "Tokyo!" - there is also one of the stories about the gradual disappearance of a girl.
The series begins with nothing, and ends with nothing. The strangest 30 minutes I've seen lately. Nothing is clear and not particularly interesting. But thanks for the brevity))
Nothing is clear, but it was interesting.Is this even normal?😂😅 But after reading the comments above (thank you for being there), more or less everything fell into place.
Somehow I didn't understand the joke of this series, of course I'll watch a couple more episodes and decide whether it's worth wasting my time further or not 😒
Somehow I didn't understand the series at all, as did many of the commentators above. Minimal actions, a lot of conversations, some squandered. I understood what topics were touched upon, but they did not seem to be fully disclosed. Let's see what happens next
Here, many did not understand what the message in this episode was. In my opinion, this series is about self-doubt and impostor syndrome. From the very first minutes, the heroine is shy of herself, afraid to accept help and gifts, afraid of fame and just communication. And with each such case, it becomes more and more invisible, insignificant. She is lost from any attention - she has completely withdrawn into herself, has become invisible. And in the end, I believed in myself, accepted my story and myself as a person, so I became visible and strong.
