The costumes are on point too 👍🏼
Now it dives into the family's dynamycs.
Karen is a determined, albeit frail, woman. She hurts & uses who's around to keep afloat.
The family reactions are tot relatable, nevertheless you hope for her to succeed and they do too.
The way this ensemble of characters is written, with their shades and complexity, is worth watching. They're not annoyingly stereotypical, neither is the main one.

Loving the set design & cinematography so far 😗
Nice pacing too.

It reminds me of The Hours - in its VW's portion, visually but also for the themes it touches on: writing, mental health, independence...

...and then also the typical themes of period: economic crisis, crumbling colonialism, changing society & costumes.
Females characters take center scene, but this won't surprise anyone 🙂

Just discovered all fanfic were wrong: Philippus is the curly blonde and not the tall black one in this version 😳🤔

The whole thing is fairly more dramatic in this. We see more talking characters and the battle is longer.
I always like these costumes 🙂

Oh Antiope reappears 😁
The best fanfic I read for this world are about #Antiope & #Menalippe (annoying as this spelling was at first 😅)

Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

Mission to Mars (2000)

This film got great reviews in Europe but lousy reviews in the US. I suspect the lousy reviews were due to something other than the quality of the film because this is a well-made film. The sets and props are about the best I’ve seen, and the CG (computer graphics) are also well done.

The writing is a little weak, especially the dialogue, but these seasoned actors were able to bring those words to life. The plot is nothing special and the narrative is just a straight, linear story throughout – no flashbacks or flash-forwards. It’s a very easy film to watch and doesn’t demand much from the audience, but it’s still entertaining and realistic for the most part. There are a lot of lines of exposition in this film, but I think the filmmakers wanted to make sure anyone could watch this one and easily follow the plot.

Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump) gets the most screen time of the main characters, while Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda) got the least, and Cheadle was also given the majority of the clumsy exposition lines. (I wonder why?) The women were also slighted in this film, but sadly that’s typical for 20th century Hollywood.

Visually the film was fantastic with realistic scenes on Mars and in space which was somewhat reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey. They didn’t get the science right all the time, and some of the situations and problems they faced were kind of unrealistic, but that’s par for Hollywood.

This is a great film for a family, or a group of people that may include those who might struggle with a more complex plot line or who prefer a temporally linear presentation but it’s entertaining for science geeks, too.
