1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm not going to Stephane. 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: Never told your production of I heart radio. Yes, we 3 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier in our last FMF or feminist movie Friday 4 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: we were going to do a part two. And yes, 5 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: we had to come back around to the sequel of 6 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: the beloved and of Green Gables, otherwise known as Anne 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: of Avonlea, the continuing story of and of Green Gables. 8 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: Apparently there's a lot of like remixing of the titles, 9 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: because that's kind of how I knew it, but then 10 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: it became and of Green Gables, the sequel, just and 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: of AVONLEA. So there's a few names floating about. And 12 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: not to be confused with all the other remakes, this 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: is a Sullivan entertainment production or the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 14 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: the CBC. Addition, and yes, Annie and I had to 15 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: download Gazebo TV in order to be able to watch 16 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: the sequel, which is a delight in itself. Am I right? Yes, yes, yes, Um, 17 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: it was quite funny the links we went to. I think, 18 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: as you said, GEO TV is sort of like hallmark, 19 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: but for like pioneer times, are like older, older times, 20 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: kind a thing. Yeah, but but we we put in 21 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: the effort and here we are in my discovery as 22 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: I have signed up for now, since we're subscribed to it. 23 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: They sent me an advertising for the Inna Green Gables 24 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: Cookbook and I'm a little intrigued on what is in there, 25 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: because it seems legitimately like old school, uh, like the 26 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: ovens that are just fire ovens, fire stoves that you 27 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: are the open flames, essentially, and I'm like should I? No, 28 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: I can't because I don't use any of the cookbooks. 29 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: I am not very good at cookbooks in general. But 30 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: like wow, I was like, Oh, they legitimately go all 31 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: the way into this era. Yeah, apparently, yes, and again, uh, hilariously, 32 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: kind of eerily, because I'm like, Oh, yeah, my phone 33 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: listens to me and I forget this sometimes, but it wasn't. 34 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: It was because of a mutual of mine liked this. 35 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: But there was a tweet this week and I have 36 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: to share it because it falls along the lines of 37 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: US talking about and Green Gables and of Avonlea, and 38 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: the tweet says, quote, now that hot girl summer is 39 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: coming to an end and of avonlea autumn can begin, 40 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: we're reading an ungodly amount of fantasy. We're climbing trees, 41 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: swimming in lakes and baking pies. We're getting into wholesome 42 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: trouble and telling me boys to get wrecked. Uh. And 43 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: this was from at R A, W Reece, not the 44 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: maame way you spill it, but close, and I love that. 45 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: I was like how in the world, I swear, what 46 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: is happening, that the universe comes together, that the week 47 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: that you and I are watching these movies, that they 48 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: must tweet this.

And LENNA say it's Evergreen for me, Um, 51 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: but she puts in later. She like, Oh my God, 52 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: all the kindred spirits here, and then does the crying 53 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: emoji phase, and I was like, yes, it's true, and 54 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: I know everything about this because I love the cardigans, 55 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: the fault picnics. Yes, I'm excited to dive right into 56 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: this era. I feel like it's calling to me, a 57 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: sessation girl. Well, you know, it follows my favorite season 58 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: and I'm already ready to like put on my my 59 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: warm clothes and my my scarves and froll like in 60 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: the leaves as they change colors, and each autumn types food, 61 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: because I love like autumnal food. So yes, I am 62 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: right there with you, oh so excited. We made chilly 63 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: the other day because I got a little over excited 64 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: and it was like eighty five degrees with my it's 65 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: worth it, it's worth it. But moving on. Yes, we 66 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: mentioned before are the sequel goes away from the original 67 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: written second book in Lucy Maud Montgomery's and beloved series. 68 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: And yes, it tastes us some liberties to the interpretations. 69 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: We have to admit all of this, as, in fact, 70 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: the video series is an amalgamation of three of the books, 71 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: including Anne of Avonlea and of the island and and 72 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: of Wendy Poplars. And from what I've researched, as I 73 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: haven't read any of the books, I'm sorry, y'all, Sullivan 74 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: mixed and matched a bit of the characters that were 75 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: written because he wrote this and some key differences are 76 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: the romantic plots, location characters and the such. So yes, 77 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: we know this. It's a big caveat and its own thing, 78 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: almost outside of the characters that are written in there 79 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: and the main characters. That is Um and, but people 80 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: still love it. Uh, I know, the differences again, are big. 81 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: The TV series still has a high overall rating when 82 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: I looked at it at the IMDB level, is four 83 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: point eight out of five stars for a CBC series, 84 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: and it's dearly beloved, especially by me, and also has 85 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: been awarded with many, many accolades and awards, including the 86 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: Golden Hugo award, many Gemini Awards, a Cable Ace awards 87 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: and many more. So it is still a jewel of 88 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: a classic. That's how I'm going to say it. MM HMMMM. 89 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: I love it. I love it and you can tell 90 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm very passionate about defending this. I still, yes, I 91 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: still do need to go back and read all of those, 92 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: even though they're technically, I guess, children's books. Um, but 93 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: it's still loved and it still carries through and has 94 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: carried on, obviously, as it keeps getting remade. Okay, but 95 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: let's go ahead. WE'RE gonna go jump into the movies plot. 96 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: We have our characters back, including Megan follows as and 97 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: Shirley Marilla, played by Colleen Doohurst, Gilbert, played by Jonathan Crombie, 98 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: Diane played by Schuler Grant, Miss Stacy, played by Maryland Lightstone, 99 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: and Rachel Lynn, played by Patricia Hamilton's. But we have 100 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: some new characters, including the Harris family, which includes Morgan Harris, uh, 101 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: and then his daughter Maline Harris, his mother Mrs Harris 102 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: and his sister Pauline Harris. Um, and then we get 103 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: introduced to many of the pringles of kings sport or 104 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 1: New Brunswick, Um and that prickly had mistress or principle 105 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: of Kings Sport Ladies College, uh, Katherine Brook. So they 106 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: come into play. Of course there's many more characters that 107 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: we've already known or are new, but it's a pretty 108 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: big list and we're not gonna do all that. So 109 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: in the sequel we come back to Anne and her 110 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: lovely Green Gables Avonlea Adventures, where she's been teaching at 111 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: the school of Avonlea, with summer coming in school ending 112 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: and gets ready for all the adventures to come. Uh. 113 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: And then, by the way, and we also get to 114 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: meet some of the precaustor's children and has been teaching. And, 115 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: by the way, I think one of the big characters 116 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: in the book is Anthony Pye, and we only see 117 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: him in a split second at the beginning. He's one 118 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: of the ones that get in trouble for smoking in 119 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: the outhouse Oda, but he's up one of that we see. 120 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: Of course, we also see uh many may returning again 121 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: with her crying, and I'm like, how are how is 122 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: she so on point with the crying? I guess that's 123 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: maybe that's why she was hired. I don't but also 124 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: during this time we get to see and being rejected 125 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: in her recent story that she had sent to a publisher, 126 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: averrol's revenge, which, by the way, is there's so many 127 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: great things to that Um and we also need to 128 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: see her working on the sequel, as we opened up 129 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: the scene which there is a meet cute between her 130 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: and Morgan Harris, who we see later on. And yes, 131 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: he's a dashing, handsome man who is hanging out with 132 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: the ladies by the coast.

Also, 140 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: she feels like she's losing her best friend. I've been there, 141 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: I've been there. This all leads to Gilbert proposing to 142 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: her later on, whom she rejects, as she was more, 143 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: which includes her moving away and seeing the world and 144 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: continuing to write.

So the pringles owned this entire town, giant 171 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: family of them, and so they wanted one of their 172 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: own who was not qualified, and so it was upset 173 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: that Anne got this position and her first class it 174 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: is almost as bumpy, as she ends up on the 175 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: bad side of the principal, Katherine Brooke, Spelled with a K, 176 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: who goes back to spell it with a C, because 177 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: Anne was so glad about this. So that was Oh um, 178 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: and her having to deal with the young pringle ladies, 179 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: who are very privileged and very snobby.

But 272 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: it goes to her traveling to the US, becoming a writer. 273 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: There's more death. I believe it also has to do 274 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: with the World War and find trying to find Gilbert. 275 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: So there's a lot. There's a lot that continues on, 276 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: just so you know.

Like, don't 283 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: start with me. What is the comment? I think it's research. 284 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: It's research. I love these movies. I think it brings 285 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: up so much close to like fondness to my heart, 286 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: just seeing these characters come to life again and watching 287 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: these like vivid colors of this beautiful area. I do 288 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: want to go to Prince Edward Island. I think we 289 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: should go. Hey, anybody from Prince Edward Island wants to 290 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: sponsor us at any point and have us come through 291 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: and do some episodes, we're ready, ready putting that out 292 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: there because I didn't want to go there. But yeah, 293 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: there's so many themes to this. They're a little similar 294 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: to the previous obviously, with the independence and the growth 295 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: and the love and all of the telling of trying 296 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: to find ourselves some friendships, because the story of Anna 297 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: Green Gables and Shirley loves people and finds the good 298 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: in people as much as she can. Um. But one 299 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: of the things I loved, and I think it kind 300 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: of reminist is reminiscent over so many, is the idea 301 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: of home, and maybe that's one of the reasons I 302 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: loved this movie is that she found her home after 303 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: so long of searching to belong and that that was 304 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: never really questioned again. But this, this was her she 305 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: and when you talk about Anne Shirley, you talked about 306 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: Avonlea and in Green Gables and I loved every place 307 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: to that. Also the fact that she did want to 308 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: travel and she did want to see the world, but 309 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: in the huge just like I just want to go home. Yeah, yeah, 310 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: I think that resonates with a lot of people when 311 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: you're at that age where it feels like you have 312 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: so many forking paths of like well, I could go 313 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: this way, I could go to this college, or what 314 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: if I want to go do this? What if I 315 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: want to be the writer? What if I want to 316 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: do all these things? And it's interesting early in the 317 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: beginning you see towards the end of the first one 318 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: she had been accepted by the town and they're like Oh, 319 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: you make his proud, and like Oh, they're still talking 320 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: a little bit about her behind her back, but they 321 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: do that with everybody Um, and so it kind of 322 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: immediately starts that way because she's trying to get the 323 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: stuff published and people are like whispering about what she's 324 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: trying to do. Um. And then Diana sent her story 325 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: to a baking powder company. It's reliable, without Anne's permission, 326 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: but she wins the the award and like everybody kind 327 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: of clapping her on the back and wanting to autograph 328 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: and like, as we talked about in the previous one, 329 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: that kind of small town vibe, but almost needing, like 330 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: needing to go away to appreciate home even more, like 331 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: needing to because Marilla, Rachel Lynde, moves in with Marilla 332 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: after her husband dies, which I thought was very cute, 333 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: the two of them living together, and Marilla is like, 334 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: you know what, I want you to go see your dreams. 335 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: You can go so far. What do you want to do? Go, 336 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: I I've always felt bad that you stayed here because 337 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: of this, and and was like quick to reassure like no, no, 338 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: no, no no, I wanted to do that. Um. But kind 339 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: of that like yeah, she needed to go out and 340 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: see because again, you can get all in your head 341 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: about like what should I do? What is the right 342 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: path and what is the best thing, and sometimes you 343 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: just have to go experience something else to be like. 344 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: You know what, no, this was not for me. Actually, 345 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: what I want is what I had already, and I 346 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: think is the other part of that is she made 347 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: a home, and I think not that. We've talked about 348 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: a lot about making this home and making the family 349 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: and sometimes the home is not a place, but it's 350 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: the people or the group that you love Um or 351 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: have found so much comfort in, and that's one of 352 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: the things, like being there in their presence is her home, 353 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: and I think that's a good thing to note. Only 354 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: as much as she has made a place for herself 355 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: out in the world what she feels best, and was 356 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: with with the people who know her best and bring 357 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: out the good, bring out all of the good and 358 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: the bad and the ugly and the impressive, and accept 359 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: all of that, and I feel like that was such 360 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: a good like, yes, marilla really knows who she is 361 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: and coming back to understanding, like the big things that 362 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: happened for her, with the big significance is who she 363 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: is and how she's overcome so much Um. So I 364 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: really did want of reaction, though one of the things 365 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: I wish I had been able to see, and I 366 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: know it's a lot because it's already like three minutes longer. 367 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: Think I don't know, Um, that to see marilla's reaction 368 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: in her getting a proposal and then her rejecting it. 369 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: So I didn't really really would love to have seen 370 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: that reaction. Um, but I think, yeah, I think that's 371 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: the whole idea of that home and being comfortable, and 372 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: that's one of the things, uh, we should like we 373 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: want to talk about later. I want to talk about 374 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: later about how people there's a comment that if you 375 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: feel sleepy at a place, it's because you feel comfortable 376 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: and the first time you've been able to rest. It 377 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: was like all, I don't know if that's true, because 378 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: when I get anxious I get sleepy, so that's the 379 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: opposite for me, I feels like. But that's a different conversation. 380 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: But kind of that feel, you know, that feel of 381 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: one and when we talk about that, and that's what's 382 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: home is and being able to find yourself again, Um, 383 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: no matter how big you may get, that you feel 384 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: better there or they know you best and you don't 385 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: have to worry about that. Yes, anyway. Um. And then 386 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: a part of that is growing up, and I think 387 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: this is this big theme at the very beginning. She 388 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: talks about that she said, which just nothing would change 389 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: and everything would stay the same. She talks about losing 390 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: her best friend because she's getting married. I've been there. 391 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: I remember in college when I had best friends that 392 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: they were getting married. It just felt like I lost somebody, 393 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: which was a whole different conversation. I like. I would 394 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: hope not. That's not that's not how this work. Somehow 395 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: in my mind that meant I lost a person because 396 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: he they are going with someone else. And worse, when 397 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: we talk about marriage, it's a pretty big deal. M 398 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: I think it was way much more of a big 399 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: deal when we were for me, when I was more 400 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: into my religious state, because this whole idea of ownership 401 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: and becoming one was such a big part of marriage, 402 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: which is probably why I don't like the idea of 403 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: marriage today. Um. But because of that meant you have 404 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: to let go of everything else and be in this marriage, 405 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: which is what religion teaches you in so many ways. 406 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: And so in that mindset, I'm like married, just losing somebody. 407 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: If I'm not marrying that person, obviously then I'm losing 408 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: that person because they are that whole unit and not 409 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 1: that marriage shouldn't. You should be married to your best friend. 410 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: You should want to know and like all of this. 411 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: But it's such a weird dichotomy. For me, as someone 412 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: who was always the best friend of the person getting married, 413 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: it always felt like I lost somebody. Again, not true. 414 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: There are definitely couples that I love and hang out 415 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: with and I feel no change in our relationships and 416 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: I love that. But there are those who really go 417 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: into it in that mindset of like I have to 418 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: lose everything else because my focus has to be my husband, 419 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: my partner. I as soon to be children. You know, 420 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: there's so many things and again this sounds so selfish 421 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: in that small manner. That's okay, that's okay, that's your life. 422 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: It's not a wrong or right in that it just 423 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: as the other person, it feels really, really hurtful. I 424 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: guess for me, maybe I just take this really personally 425 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: because I as a the old person who was adopted. 426 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things about being left out and 427 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: then being in the way as the conversation goes. There's 428 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: a lot of rejection issues here. So that's in itself, 429 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: but then it is the whole idea in this moment 430 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: of like she's going to lose her best friend to him, 431 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: who was nothing like what we had talked about. Yeah, yeah, 432 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: and going back to like that whole you know, working paths. 433 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: It's it's scary when you know like everybody's facing those 434 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: things right, like not just you, and so your life 435 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: might just diverge. And for Anne, who came in and 436 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: was not about like finding romance, it was like I 437 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: need to find my bosom friend, I need to find 438 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: my bosom buddy. It was Diana, like it makes total 439 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: sense to me that she would feel almost a sense 440 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: of betrayal of like right or wrong, but like you 441 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: would feel this sense of like, but you were so 442 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: important to me. Why? Why? Why are you changing what 443 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: we have for this guy? Yeah, proly Poly Fred. That's, 444 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: by the way, the character who plays that was a 445 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: part of the ensemble kids in the hall, which is 446 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: a huge nineties comedy show. He was, as well as 447 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: the dude who you see during the hospital bizarre who 448 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: dances with her. I think his name is folly, David Foley. 449 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: They were both a part of because, and I'm like, 450 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: but this is Canadian acting. Of course, say a couple 451 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: of the Canada has a lot of good actors. We 452 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: know why, we get it, we um but I'm just 453 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: saying like that was like interesting to me because it 454 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: was during that time I was watching the and also 455 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: on k new kids in the hall as well as 456 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: like that. Dude's a completely different character here, obviously, but yeah, 457 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: and then, on top of that, like growing up, you 458 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: have these ideals of what it's like in the future 459 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: and then when that comes crumbling down, even though the 460 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: reality is yes, you're never it's never going to be 461 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: that way. I think we all understand that. I had 462 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: this dream when I was in high school. I'm gonna 463 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: go to college and these are the things I'm gonna 464 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: do and this is where I'm going to be a 465 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: by this age and this age and this is who 466 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna marry. And none of that happened. None, absolutely 467 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: zero percent of what I thought growing up was going 468 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: to happen did not happen. Yes, yes, and that goes 469 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: back to the very long and kind of complicated conversation 470 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: we had in one of our sex in the city. 471 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: Watched three episodes. We were talking about the difference between 472 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: like settling because you feel like you have to and 473 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: settling because maybe that's ultimately what you want and how 474 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: there should probably be a different term for that kind 475 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: of settling. But I also think, like during this time 476 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: I was struck by it's different now because we have, 477 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: you know, we have a lot of modes of communication 478 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 1: with each other, but if Ann's moving away, then the 479 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: mode of communication is letter Um, and who knows how 480 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: long that will take to get there, and just that 481 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: puts a strain on things. And also, like marriage overall 482 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: was different back then. We've made strides. I would argue 483 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: we still have a lot of strides to make towards 484 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: gender equality and marriage, but back then it was much different. So, yeah, 485 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: I was it was hard not to think about that 486 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: of like yeah, I mean, Dieta's life is going to 487 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: change now and that's just sort of the nature of 488 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: of things. And I've I've come to that too, because 489 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: I hang onto people hard, I i. it's hard for 490 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: me not to take things personally, and I know that's 491 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: like a me thing, um, but it does kind of 492 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: feel like, Oh, you found someone you'd rather hang out 493 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: with more than me, Um, and and that it's just 494 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: I hang on so hard. But it's natural, if you 495 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: meant if you meet somebody and you get married and 496 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: your life changes and you move into a different state 497 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean you can't still hang out, but 498 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: it also doesn't mean that like, things won't change, right, 499 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: which scar yeah, it is very scary. Um. Another thing 500 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: that I really loved. Of course it's love. I love love, 501 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: but like in the conversations that we see that's happening 502 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: about again, who we fall in love with, who we 503 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: want to fall in love with? We even see here 504 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: marilla talk about it and then she sees the x 505 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: and it's an awkward moment of like, do you want 506 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: to come in for t and then I gotta go 507 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: here for my boy, which the process for me is 508 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: like think, goodness they didn't get together, because where would 509 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: Anna be? Hello. But like the whole idea of love, 510 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: reality versus, uh, the fantasy, and fact this and actually 511 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: got her fantasy in this moment with Mr Harris Um 512 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: and she got the trip and being swept away and 513 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: buying all the acts that they wanted, having all the 514 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: beautiful moments in Boston, like so many things that she 515 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: could have done, and realizing it's, okay, I've got this, 516 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: but I think I like this other that was better, 517 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,239 Speaker 1: which is just simple. And I don't even think it's 518 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: that simple, because the dude was dying of scarlet fever, 519 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: which is also part of the whole, like I'm going 520 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: to bring you back from death with my care that 521 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 1: she mentions in the first one with Diane. She does. 522 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: It is but like that's that's the kind of the 523 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: part of that is finding the reality versus the fantasy 524 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: and then letting it unfold and you get to choose. 525 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: She gets to choose, but technically she doesn't choose either, 526 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: and that's also amazing for this time and age. Like 527 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: this is a romance, but it's not a romance, right, right, yeah, 528 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean I think that's it's a really good point too. 529 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: I bet a lot of us, myself very much included, 530 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: I can relate to, as you said, kind of having 531 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: that idea of what you think you want and this 532 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: fantasy that usually you picked up through entertainment. So for 533 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: Ann like she's reading all these fantasies and it's like 534 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: forming these ideas of what she wants and then when 535 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: you actually get in the situation and it checks off 536 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of the boxes and you're like, I'm not 537 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: really into this. I thought I would be, but that 538 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: that relates back to growing up as well and having 539 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: those sort of learning life experiences. Um and people, hopefully 540 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: most people, grow and change. And so for her, romance 541 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: just wasn't a big thing for her for a long time. 542 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: And so and and Gil had his own growing up 543 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: to do and figuring things out, and sometimes the timing 544 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: is just not right and you've got to wait until 545 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: until it is, until you're both ready and in the 546 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: healthy place. Well, for him, not healthy place, but then healthy. 547 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, there's so much in that and 548 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of a back and forth. Of course, 549 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: we also enjoyed the fact that she got to have it, 550 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: and not many people get to have these reality the 551 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: fantasies come through or come true. So for her she 552 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: actually got that and it's a glorious moment of our going. 553 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: Never Mind, I don't want this. It is weird that 554 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: he did bring another woman for as a date, who 555 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: he's recording throughout the movie, and then like I want 556 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: to marry you. I'm like wait, what in the whole 557 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: like dance card thing? I was like, Oh, yeah, we 558 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: love a good dance card. The other part is, do 559 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: they know this dance? Have they figured out these dances, 560 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: because you have to learn, like we've talked about bridgtain 561 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: that ben learning these dances and how it took them 562 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: days and days and days to get this routine. Like 563 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: the same thing here. Hello. Yeah, I do love it, 564 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: by the way, but yeah, I think it's interesting. We 565 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: get to see that ray of love and then also 566 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: again we get to see the different people coming through 567 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 1: her life talking about love, to see Brooks coming in 568 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: and Brooke coming in and talking about her lack of 569 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: love in general, Um, and just giving up from jump, 570 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: like being so disappointed with life, giving up on it, 571 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: and then she finds a bow, oh to people interested, 572 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: possibly as heavenly, but you know whatever. But yeah, bringing 573 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: it in, as we talked about Brooke, another kindred spirit 574 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: that took the entire movie to finally get through. All 575 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: the kindred spirits that have been a part of the 576 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: entirety of the series, which is one of the delights 577 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: to me. is like connecting with people on a deeper level, 578 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: but knowing that there's something about them that has it's 579 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: gonna teach you and you're gonna teach them. Is a 580 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: beautiful thing and that's kind of that whole wonderful process, 581 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: as we see her talking to Miss Harris and Emma 582 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: line and they would get to see her with Miss 583 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: Stacy again and how they are think as the even 584 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: though they've only had one year together technically, and then 585 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: we get to see her breaking through a broke exterior 586 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: of which is hard and cold and really, really angry 587 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: for the misteps in her life and like being able 588 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: to show her something different like that.

It's just a good plotline. It's just great 592 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: because how, yeah, this is the things that I want 593 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: to see is the connections with the women throughout. Of course, 594 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: some men sprinkled in there, but it's the women that 595 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: she connects to and even though it could be hostile, 596 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: she still breaks through. And then there is a layer 597 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: of just people wanting to connect in general.
