In the complex jungle of streaming offer sometimes unfair things happen but if word gets out they still have a solution: after all the ‘hype’ wasted in ‘The House of the Dragon’ and ‘The Rings of Power’, it turns out that the last season went very unnoticed (so far) from a series teaches a lesson on how to faithfully adapt a fantasy classic (Well, ‘Sandman’ would be a good fit for the post, too), about who dares to reach the heights of angry militant religious desecration that Hollywood cowardly cowered in front of Hollywood, which resulted in boxes of ‘kleenex’ being wasted in its final episodes… “Dark matter” (“Dark materials”, HBO Max), Three season adaptations of the books written by “The Golden Compass”, “The Golden Binoculars” and “The Dagger” and “The Lacquered Binoculars” Philip Pullman just finished its last season. And he did it gloriously.
Someone showed up in Hollywood one day That it would be a good idea to start a movie trilogy about a world where the human spirit travels alongside them in the form of cute little animals that are much more than a pet. Flying witches and talking polar bears, with a girl playing the heroine and an evil mother whose role is reserved for her. Nicole Kidman and an adventurous father incarnate Daniel Craig. The plan seemed perfect, but after the first installment (blocked by an attempt to pasteurize the original content) it turned out that there were two more (beware, ‘spoilers’… but relative, the books were published between 1995 and 2000) the ultimate goal, literally To lead a new revolt of fallen angels, to save the world, destroy established religion and literally kill God, bring a new Eve back to original sin. Or rather, the being who convinced humanity that he was God. Like this, song cancel, but on that occasion (2007) it was promoted by the US religious right. But it finally happened alliance HBOBBC and British playwright Jack Thorne (“Enola Holmes”, “This is England”, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, “Wonder”) did justice to Pullman’s books.
good deal
Forget Caig and Kidman: successfully swapped james mcavoy and above all) Ruth Wilson The cast of the TV adaptation has been phenomenal, it’s okay with this part: Daphne Keen as her father Lyra Belaqua Keen will (“The Crown”) as Cardinal McPhail, lin manual miranda (‘Hamilton’) as Lee Scoresby, Andrew Scott (‘Fleabag’) as Colonel John Parry… Concessions for gallery/majority taste/narrative activity/budget limits? Of course some. If a ‘daimon’ (those external spirits) transforms from a robin to a cat (crawlings never fail), if a nun’s ‘love’ becomes increasingly obnoxious from heterosexual to homosexual, a soft doll on wheels… Okay, minute. Even more virtues than sins.
Thorne was able to effectively visualize a world of interconnected multiverses with all kinds of beings, without the slightest crease, staying true to the author’s anti-clericalism (a religious organization, the Magisterium, middle ground between the most fundamentalist Catholicism and the most puritanical Calvinism) and, unfortunately, to the spirituality between the Gnostic and the “new age” that he proposes as an alternative. made it Revolt against the Kingdom of Heaven have all the necessary epics, saving souls wandering in purgatory (yes, Milton, Dante, Blake, even some I-Chings are among Pullman references, a tribute to Philip K. Dick?) it seems like a transcendent transition from childhood to adulthood, the plot is fun and final (social check the reactions on the networks: 10/10 on the ‘kleenexometer’) uncomplicatedly emotional. There is definitely a bench in the Oxford botanical garden where more than one pilgrimage will be made in the future.
