Line of Events
It follows Katherine Ravenscroft, a TV documentary journalist whose job is to expose the wrongdoings of long-respected institutions. Gary Oldman was originally rumored to be cast, but he was replaced by Kevin Kline. Jonathon uses the same lens in several episodes.
Update after the finale: I cut from 8 to 7
Such a lens would not be able to focus on close objects, for example, selfies with Sasha or in the bedroom with Katrina. In the end, it’s a fairly simple story complicated only by narrative devices, and I think that’s it. Three words from Cate Blanchett and everything would immediately become clear.
The main problem is that people don’t act and react like real people
For example, colleagues who decide to hate him immediately based on some old man’s ramblings. By the way, even in the book version of events, there is no reason to hate him so much. And ultimately “men are bad, stupid or weak, women are good.” It’s really boring now.
It’s hard to understand the bad reviews
People decide there are plot holes in the middle of a story when they don’t have all the pieces. Others who think the seduction scene was funny – obviously they’re not men, it was amazing and the actress playing the younger version of Cate Blanchett is fantastic and so beautiful it hurts my eyes. I would have preferred to wait until the end to rate and review, but the sheer stupidity of the negative reviews made me write something.
I don’t know how it will land, but for now, highly recommended
The cinematography is great, the actors are great and the story is gripping.
