I admire your writing and analysis, but after reading it and watching the scene I have no wish to watch the series. Time is very important to me, and at this point in my life I have to concentrate on the projects that intensely move me and help me to make better and more important films. This may be, what is called, art for art's sake, with layers of meaning that a small part of the audience may actually appreciate, like Shakespeare that entertained the masses and at the same time told stories in a way that they would live for eternity.
I know that I don't have that ability, so I must tell simple stories that are clear and to the point. I know that I must work with other writers to make these tales more effective for a larger audience without stripping their essence away
I know I will never make the greatest movie, or the most artistic, but I am determined to make some of the most important. I will share with you one of my favorite reviews from a woman who was born in Germany and immigrated to the U.S. in a PM.
I appreciate this perspective. It is certainly a nuanced and difficult show - with layers of meaning that as you wrote, “May only be appreciated by a few”. My purpose with this dissection was to highlight what I consider great, emotive and deeply nuanced writing by Steven Knight, the show creator because of its extremely niche experience. Only people who have experienced the mental and psychological abuse of a parent could truly understand the layers in this scene and Steven’s ability to do this sort of deep dive on all sorts of emotional traumas is impressive (and perhaps telling of his own upbringing or exposures growing up!)
