| Good points all. I think the story they're trying to express is about her quest for love and how in failing to find that she instead finds purpose (say what you will about the bad parts, but the AIDS hospice scene was, I thought, very effective), and I thought the show was at its strongest when they were in the love triangle. But yes, she has a hard time articulating her goal, and the show doesn't quite give us enough insight into why she thinks she can find that love from Charles. The Crown did a better job with that, and I actually would have had a very hard time following the musical if not for watching the TV show. |
