Good insight and take on the last episode licnep.
I’ve just watched the series and this helped click in place a few questions I had.
Thank you for posting this!
I haven’t watched Silo but have to admit for and ‘end of the world’ type of show I am really enjoying how ‘clean and bright’ everything is, like Pleasantville or The Truman Show.
Ha,ha. I have zero clue what <spoiler>fluorosis poisoning actually is - it’s just what was mentioned in the speech that both Cal and Sinatra attended in Sweden in episode 2, where the end of the world was predicted.</spoiler>
We can’t really tell as of episode 4 yet other than <spoiler>the environment outside was in fact survivable.</spoiler>
Possibly it has to do with warning of <spoiler>fluorosis poisoning that was the sleeping giant in the Antartic that would within a year start by killing 20% of all livestock that the guy giving the speech in Sweden that both Sinatra and Cal attended in one of the flashback scenes in episode 2?</spoiler>
It’s clear there was an actual timeline of events where leaders knew the ‘end’ was coming and they could plan for it so I’m guessing it can’t have been a nuclear attack.
They certainly did allude to that at the end of the 2nd episode with the <spoiler>slow focus on one of the planes tail numbers almost directly after a shot of the ‘6 digits’</spoiler> - but I was hoping it wasn’t that easy.
SPOILER:
I could not agree more.
I was so surprised that the ‘moral compass’ of the show went from saying, <spoiler>“I’m married” to being naked in the shower (with the therapist) in the very next shot.</spoiler>
I’ll continue.
I find it a little more polished and accessible than ‘Wayward Pines’ was and I really want to know what those 6 numbers mean!
I’m glad it’s going to have another season.
I enjoy this for the most part which surprised me as I have never been a big fan of Eddie Redmayne.
The feel of the series and all the European locations were great and even though I thought there were about 2 episodes in there that could have been cut as they seemed like filler, I look forward to seeing what happens next.
Thank you so much for the reply!
I’m one of the few that actually enjoyed The Golden Compass version of the story and Nicole Kidman’s portrayal of the character but I must admit that this Mrs.Coulter is giving me serious heebie-jeebie vibes with her coldness.
Omg him being in his underwear whilst being interviewed drove me absolutely crazy! I was going to write that in my last comment but then decided I didn’t want to be too negative on here. The scenes with his eldest daughter where he told her to come in and ‘spoon’ him whilst he was being interviewed on camera and lying in his bed showed just how emotionally stunted and how over-indulged he is.
Given the lack of any mention of his parents one can’t help surmise that he probably didn’t have a great childhood and now has chosen a wife that basically cares for him in a very motherly way. Robbie obviously is the bread winner for the family but she would be doing all the emotional and heavy lifting in raising the children and caring for him at the same time.
I’ve watched it all now too and completely agree with your assessment emori.
The vintage footage was impressively wound into the narrative and it was very cohesively done.
It does give one a good glimpse into the complex life of R.W. - thorns and all.
Whilst I don’t think this doco was as well done as the Beckham or even the Arnold one, I did come away with a much better understanding of him and his career.
I do agree with O.P’s original comment though that it’s very odd that his parents and sibling don’t get even a single mention. It seems especially odd given how much we do see his wife and children peppered throughout all 4 of the episodes.
