Just caught up w/ last week’s ep of PACHINKO before the finale tomorrow.
Honestly, LMH has impressed me w/ his performance! Nvr knew he could pull off all he’s shown us here.
What a moving and gorgeous and insightful watch this has been. I wish it was longer!
Good to know. I was worried about this one because I loved the novel to bits and pieces and basically forced all my friends and family to read it.
Honestly, when I heard what role he was playing I was relieved because LMH has the right look and can do just the right amount of smarminess to pull it off. If he had been playing any other of the men, I would have been very scared.
I shall binge this when mr egads is out of town in a couple weeks and won’t interrupt or ask questions. Some things deserve undivided attention.
me too!!! but it’s hard to talk about the production because of the chapter shuffle… and the whole missing MIDDLE of the book (chronologically and introduction of all the characters)…
Adaptations are super difficult especially for works that people love. The most recent adaption from novel to series that absolutely worked on exceptionally well is Station Eleven. The writers and director made super smart narrative choices that veered a lot from the novel, but in a way that made the point of the book resonate on the screen. They also took full advantage of a cast and crew that was suddenly thrust into a real global pandemic experience while filming a pandemic apocalypse story.
I think this is why I’ve hesitated to watch Pachinko because Station Eleven was so good and I want that for Pachinko too.
