I miss you!

I just finished Helen‘s last Episode

on Peaky Blinders yesterday.

I cried!

It‘s something when your favorite

character dies, but it‘s something

else when the actress dies with them.

Oh Helen!

She was so good! In all she did.

I‘ve admired her since Narcissa,

but in Peaky she really got to shine.

Polly Gray!

She brought that character to life

in all the colors and she had the

coolest and most stylish outfits.

Peaky won’t be the same without you.

Neither will

the world!

It is kinda funny how The Borgias is used as a golden standard for costuming when it's very much the exception and not the norm. The only other show that reached that level is maybe Downton Abbey? Gabriella Pescucci also did Penny Dreadful and even that show is more of a mixed bag when it comes to the costumes.

I really like the Penny Dreadful costumes, overall, though I was disappointed with Dorian's. I loved Vanessa and Lily's costumes. I think they dressed Josh Hartnett... so well... on that show. I remember adoring Helen McCrory's (RIP) costumes.

But The Borgias was really top tier. At that time, people were still pouring money into period drama costuming; and I do think Showtime generally did a good job at that time. The Tudors was inaccurate and OTT ridic, but I do think it overall looked good.

I just rewatched the latest season and I miss Polly so much

RIP Helen McCrory 💔

Oh, I missed her too :/ even if Sophie Rundle did an amazing job filling up the scenes that was meant to be Helen's, her absence was palpable

The only complaint I have about the new Jane Austen adaptation of “Persuasion” is that Henry Golding has chosen to be the rake, the villain of the story. Somehow, this encourages one to root for him. I might be unfair to Cosmo Jarvis, but I don’t see the regale Captain Frederick Wentworth in him. Why the opportunistic Mister Walter Elliot? Why Henry, why? Like what he said, it was much more challenging to play around Elliot’s obnoxiousness.

Of course, this adaptation won’t certainly change the world. And as I see it, with the negative feedback coming already, will be ripped to shreds and shut down in every opportunity. There might not be LGBTQ representation, but the diversity of the cast, which I appreciate, is probably the reason people compare it to “Bridgerton” plus the atmosphere of the setting, but as I haven’t seen it I truly cannot say. Yet, I believe in the director Carrie Cracknell, who’s more known in the theatre world. She is no Joe Wright, but she helmed “Medea” and “The Deep Blue Sea” onstage with the late great Helen McCrory. And if you have seen them when the National Theatre began streaming them during the first year of lockdown then you know her capabilities to carry on an adaptation.

So yes, I am open to it. Jane Austen needs new audience. If we want the old BBC adaptations I think we can still have them. Why not lure them first to see these adaptations and encourage them to read Jane Austen afterward?

Autumn de Wilde successfully brought “Emma” in the 22nd century, so why not this social commentary posing as a love story? Methinks there’s much more to the “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Fifty Shades of Grey” actors. Of course, I could eat again my words later.

The Gypsy Woman Episode

Some readers and fans find this funny. I don't know, YMMV, I guess, my issue is with the deception. It was not the case of Rochester dressing up for a masquerade ball or a game, like when they played charades. He lies. He pretends to be someone else to get people's secrets out. Young unmarried women's secrets, in particular, because those were the only ones the fortune teller would speak to. Gods only know what he dragged out of them and what he told them. And to what purpose.

While Edward is preparing his gypsy cosplay, a new visitor comes to Thornfield. From overheard conversations, Jane learns he is a Mr Mason of Spanish Town, Jamaica. 

The fortune teller arrives to Thornfield Hall. In the absence of their host, who they think is away on some business, the merry company put her in the library, where she can meet her customers. All the young unmarried ladies go in--the two Misses Ingram and the two Misses Eshton--to have their fortunes told. Then the fortune teller asks for Jane, as she is, of course, part of that demographic. Jane is actually quite glad to escape the drawing room, as well as curious about the gypsy woman.

Using poetic language, the fortune teller attempts to get Jane to bare her soul. Jane admits she often feels tired, sleepy. Like she wouldn't, duh. She works all day and spends her evenings sitting in the drawing room with people she has nothing in common with, and who don't consider her an equal. She tells the fortune teller that the biggest dream that can come true for her is to save up enough money to open a school of her own. A worthy goal! The gypsy woman appears to know a lot about the goings on at Thornfield, she admits she's acquainted with Grace Poole. Then she gets really pushy, trying to extract info out of Jane regarding Rochester, but Jane, luckily, keeps her head. She comes across really well in this scene. 

But she also needs some answers herself.

Jane: "Is it known that Mr. Rochester is to be married?”

Rochester, as the fortune teller: “Yes; and to the beautiful Miss Ingram.” 

Then the fake fortune teller recites a word salad about Jane's eye and forehead, until the disguise is finally discarded and Rochester steps out of his costume. 

Jane is not surprised. She doubted the authenticity of the fortune teller from the start. She knew gypsies and fortune tellers did not express themselves as this old woman. (Why would a genuine fortune teller limit her customers to young unmarried women? Why lose business?)

Her saying that makes me think Jane possibly encountered gypsies before, perhaps while at Lowood. Imagine her coming across the ancestors of Peaky Blinders. A century too early, but if Jane ever met Aunt Polly (*cries* RIP Helen McCrory *sob-sob-sob*), she'd have warned her about a certain gloomy middle-aged employer of hers--but would Jane listen?

So Jane suspected it was a disguise, but, as with the fire in Rochester's bedroom, her mind was set on Grace Poole. She calls Rochester out, and quite rightfully--as I said, she is really good in this scene. She asks if she can retire but he won't let her. He wants her to tell him what the people in the drawing room have been doing and what they said about him. Jane tries to get out of it by pointing out that it's late, and mentions the new visitor. 

Upon hearing the name Mason of Spanish Town, Jamaica, Rochester goes all white. He clutches his chest and nearly collapses. Here, unfortunately, Jane sheds all her awesomeness and literally says:

“Can I help you, sir?—I’d give my life to serve you.”

Sigh. It was nice while it lasted.

So, I have not seen Peaky Blinders yet, but I've been watching snippets and, first off, RIP Helen McCrory, and secondly, I know his character is fucking dead, but this dude is cute:

Like, he is absolutely adorable, I want to squish his cheeks!

And sorry, but Adrien Brody with the Italian accent? **fans self** His voice alone is attractive.

Also, Tommy Fucking Flanagan? Chibs from Sons of Anarchy??? Yes!

AND TOM HARDY!! YESSIR!!!!

So very saddened to hear of the passing of Helen McCory, she was such a talented actress. My heart goes out to her husband Damian Lewis, their family and friends. Witches and Wizards will be lifting their wands towards the sky in your honor Helen.
