- normal people, sally rooney (2020)

normal people is an exploration into how relationships function in the setting of dublin ireland. it follows two people; marianne sheridan and connell waldron, two classmates who end up going to the same college. at school, they engaged in a secret relationship - well, because connell wanted it to be. through their brief fling, connell discovers his own true feelings and his inabilities to communicate, whilst marianne deals with abusive trauma at the hands of her parents and brother. she lets herself get treated horribly, because she believes she deserves it. the relationship breaks down. when they meet again at college, things are different; it is now marianne surrounded by friends and connell who is alone. the two characters foil eachother throughout the series, as they uncover themselves - through their own faults and talents. through the use of intimate scenes and brilliant cinematography, the audience gets to witness two humans living life always intertwined with eachother, the series also explores complex themes of sexual trauma, abuse, and mental health. to see these topics portrayed in such a gentle way, is astounding. daisy edgar-jones and paul mescal play two beautiful characters, that seriously make you wonder if you are just watching two people being filmed.. the use of the score to inexplicably mirror how the characters feel with non-diegetic sound is a crucial element of storytelling. normal people is magnificent and has been a favourite of mine for a long time, the novel particularly is a beautiful piece of literature. sally rooney, uses no punctuation to examine how marianne and connell interact (with countless miscommunication), and througu this clearly shows us how we as a society don't take the time to understand what people are actually saying to us.

if you aren't big on television, i seriously suggest reading the book, and vice versa with the series.

it is a beautiful piece of art.

intro post

Hello, petite présentation pour poser les bases ici. Ce blog est littéralement l’extension numérique de mes journaux papiers. J’y écris mes pensées, mais j’ai envie de partager mes idées, mes passions et d’en discuter.

Je pense parler de mes lectures, des mes films et des séries que j’adore.

pour donner un peu une idée: j’aime beaucoup la new romance, les dystopies etc…mon livre préféré est Normal people ( je ne m’en remettrai jamais ).

Mes films favoris: Oppenheimer, Little women, La haine.

Mes séries préférées: Peaky blinders ( j’aime beaucoup Cillian Murphy 🫠), Gilmore girls et grey’s anatomy…

J’ai déjà hâte de commencer !

rewatching the tv show of normal people which is perhaps a mistake as someone who is currently going through a period of really missing my undergrad days because it has me unironically thinking things like "god i would give anything to be sitting in class listening to someone incorrectly analyze english literature"
