Carrie Coon performance was really good.
But the writing was so bad , you're so happy to sit by the hypocritical Trumpist and the narcissistic that will screw you again in a few weeks ?
You love that moment at the pool taking meaning less pictures distorting reality that they're shitty people ?
I have mixed feelings on it as well. I love that they come together in the end, her thoughts are spot on. I just don’t know how realistic it is given what is going on in the world that parallels that. Script was written by a *male*…
Her monologue was top 1% for sure. I did think that the 3 women toxic friendship plot was the weakest of the season. The beauty, faith, wisdom character setup was missing a solid dark tragedy. Instead, it played it too safe w/ a cliche betrayal, then the dependency at the end was a disappointment.
#whitelotus 3 was filled with a lot of storyline noise…incest, murder, vanity, wealth, partying, love, theft…but it all resolved on the foundation of the spiritual journey. Saxon is soulless and starting a journey to self. Wealth is the Ratliff’s belief system. 1/
Rick and Chloe are ying / yang, evil and balance: fated good. The difficulty Piper cannot stomach to find spirituality… Gaitok upholds his religious beliefs in non violence, then betrays them to feed his ambition (and love of Mook). Carrie Coon’s speech summarizes the journey of all the guest. 2/
We all have belief systems that fail us. Time and loyalty are our only defining features. Time defines our journey. oyalty may not be the right term. Ultimately Lori is loyal to her childhood friends, despite their a) betrayal and b) fakeness. /3
She finds deepness in their togetherness, because they share this life journey together. She is not so much loyal as she is forgiving. And accepting. They are stuck with each other until they die, like Rick and Chloe. And the Ratliffs. Their journey progress with time. Time resolves all. /4
When my sister was Executrix she made so many decisions that hurt many people. It made no sense & caused mass chaos for all. The bigger picture:
I see how she’s always been driven by fear because my brother made her feel unsafe throughout life and she was dealing w/him daily. I witnessed her fear.
Selfishness in pursuit of vanity/power and childishness in pursuit of false peace were allowed to win the day, perhaps as often does in life. The real deal, doer, truth teller, brave heart I wish could have been championed even if only by herself for making well intended conscientious choices.
Yes. I think Mike White’s overall message was to offer another way to people but shallowness prevailed, highly reflective of who we are now. I think that was his intention. Belinda though… I still can’t believe she made a deal with the *murderer* of a woman she actually knew.
I think she was in a post-traumatic stress state of mind. Perhaps if something else had happened where a “2 against 1” became the scenario the speech would have gone differently? Who would have been left out of the twosome?
My husband watched the s3 finale with me, having only ever watched s1. He loved it, a testament to how well the acting really carries and tells its own story
not gonna lie I thought this was meant to be ironic and tone deaf in a “I know who committed a violent crime at the place we’re all staying but my life was just in danger so the only thing I care about is me” way
I don’t think it’s the perfect paean to friendship that’s floating on its surface - I think it’s a flawed and complicated full embrace of our imperfections. They know they’re all shitty, but we’re all shitty, and they’re her pieces of shit. That’s life. Grab your pieces of shit and ride or die
Funny; all the British reviewers thought it an odd and ill fitting speech given what had gone on before. Truly toe curling. I thought she was taking the piss.
