Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace
"but it's not easy being quiet and good, it's like hanging on to the edge of a bridge when you've already fallen over; you don't seem to be moving, just dangling there, and it is taking all your strength."
Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace
Margaret Atwood, from Alias Grace
I usually don’t watch period dramas but since I saw a clip of Alias grace on those TikTok movies (the first one) I thought the old man was really hot and gave it a try (which was my first introduction to Paul Gross). I ended up binge watching the whole show for Thomas Kinnear (aside from the show being really good) and now I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of this fine silver fox. He’s such a hot old man I wish he was more popular cause he’s a great actor. I even started to watch his other films like The middle man and Hyena Road until 2am and there’s hardly any content on him.
Let’s enjoy some BTS from Alias Grace starring himself and the Queen (Margaret Atwood)
“What mysteries remain to be revealed in the nervous system, that web of structures both material and ethereal, that network of threads that runs throughout the body, composed of a thousand Ariadne’s clues, all leading to the brain, that shadowy central den where the human bones lie scattered and the monsters lurk…The angels, also, he reminds himself. Also the angels.”
— Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace. (McClelland & Steward, September 1996) (via Alive on All Channels)
Then, you have given up hope? Hope of what, sir? Hope of being set free.
ALIAS GRACE
i finished reading alias grace and every conversation between grace and jordan was like this to me:
grace: being a maid isn’t an easy life, but it’s the only one i know and altogether it could be worse. at least i enjoy some of the work
jordan, so hard he can’t see straight: does this turnip make you think about murder
grace: working on her quilt
jordan: can u stab me with that needle perhaps
