Mawkish Love story????
Wow, one of the things that I love MOST about the show is how NON mawkish the love story is. They manage to represent their love in a really grand way without resorting to cheap sentiment, suggesting that love is even more powerful and also potentially more destructive than greed. If I am reading it correctly, It also seems that he does not get why Anton has to die??? The woman's life is one of barren loneliness. All she has is her money and the power and influence that money can buy. So she uses that to claim for herself the one thing she felt she was always owed and earned. Justice in her love. He has to die because it is the only way she can truly have him for eternity. She has given up on life. She is sealing the deal for the hereafter. That is my take on it. Sure there are others. Yeah, I know...a little heady but it works for me in a big way as I am sure those who have read my posts clearly know by now.
At least he acknowledges that he is commenting on the first preview. Though, I think that is pretty disrespectful to all the artists involved for a journalist to comment on a first public performance. Regardless if he is only referencing the material itself. Having seen it twice, the impact when I saw the show on Saturday was worlds apart from the impact on Thursday. Just a much more fully realized and nuanced interpretation. It totally made a different , more complex kind of sense. At any rate, I will not be surprised if I am in the minority on this show. Not perfect but I think it is still pretty damn brilliant.
I know that I am going on AGAIN about how much I love for this show. Please forgive me. I know...enough is enough. Will try and shut up about it.
