hathsinners replied to your post “SkamFr Episode 6 reaction”
French here o/ French people are usually pretty fired up and vocal about their emotions. Most girls are like Emma~ I think most people who are not french and keep comparing og skam characters to skamfr characters are forgetting this cultural aspect. The fight scene in the cafeteria for example is the kind that happens all the time, it’s break off and if both parties agree to chill it doesn’t have to be that big of a deal.
Hi, thank you for offering a French perspective! I did think about this when watching the episode, that the remake characters’ personalities are going to change based on the country. I think some of the issue is that Emma is pretty outspoken but they’ve kept some of the Norwegian dialogue the same. So that for example, when Yann says Emma doesn’t have an opinion and doesn’t know who she is, that doesn’t seem like Emma’s real issue? She seems more self-assured and ready to speak up for herself, especially with him.
But I definitely want to keep in mind the cultural context, I appreciate any context that French fans (or Norwegian, German, Italian fans etc.) can provide! Like the fight did take me by surprise because it would have been a pretty big deal and insta-punishment at my school, so that’s helpful to know.
