four minutes, 4 minutes to save the world, to quote Madonna and Justin Timberlake. Four minutes to save her world, when Gordon Ford wanted to deprive her of the moment that would change everything. And in an age of bulimic production of content often inconsistent in quality and equally rampant cancellations, Four Minutes to Our Save, with a brilliant series from start to finish. Because it’s not true that if you give them a masterpiece, the public doesn’t care about what you’ve served The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel He loves her and respects her too. Four minutes to save a world in which women are told they’re tough, that they can make it on their own, but then there’s a need for women’s quotas, for juries that stare at you and maybe puts you in front of a man who did time better. Here, Midge shows us a world where, if you’re a woman, you’re more talented and you fight with yourself, you’re rewarded, not a world where you’re also rewarded because you’re a woman. Are.
Actually, monologue from standing ovations Midge (a good, very good Rachel Brosnahan, now beyond recognition) lasts almost double the minute, and Mrs. Maisel wins it with her nails, her teeth, and a spectacular one. little black dress By Bergdorf Goodman: Against his will (and above all his ego), Gordon Ford (Reid Scott) is forced to by his wife (Heidi, who had an affair with Susie in her youth; who, yes) Weird, Wonder! not really, no) and place Midge in the broadcast, but wants to reintroduce her to the anti-female presence Resident female writer of the program on a stool. The Miz is not there and is yelling”breast up(and after a look of understanding – tears down – with his manager Susie: the ever-longer Alex Borstein) takes the limelight and cracks a flurry of jokes that more on point You can’t, but always with a smile: “I went on stage, took a microphone and at that moment I found out what it was like to be heard by people: of course, not by men, mind you” “If I If one wheel has to be turned, clearly someone else will: I’m free, not stupid”. Until the final blow: “They say ambition makes a woman less attractive. Perhaps. But you know what’s really unattractive? wait for something to happen. Looking out the window, thinking the life you’ve been living is somewhere out there, but not daring to open the door and take it in, even if they tell you you can’t.” wamOh! That is the matter JurisdictionSee fellow male (!), white (!) and cisgender (!) writers doing Cap To Mary

This is how Midge became a star: We knew she made it from the beginning of last season, but we just weren’t told how. Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has managed to close the circle beautifully, taking everything exactly as she envisioned it, taking exactly all the time necessary (including flashbacks and flash-forwards that widen the gaze, narration and hence “Maisel’s understanding system”): Mary’s parents, Abe (Tony Shalhoub) and Rose (Marin Hinkle) Weissman, never understood that ambition and never believed in her, because well, It was normal to stake everything on a male heir, no? But after an episode (for which Shalhoub should have been taught in drama schools) in which Abe understands that the true genius of the family is not his nephew Ethan, but his niece Esther ( physics luminaries of the future), now they are among the excited onlookers wave. The same goes for her husband Joel (Michael Zegen), who at the beginning of the series becomes resentful because Midge’s career is based on her teasing him on stage. and thanks to a gift he had dreamed of getting her (which makes people laugh), while she is now his No. 1 fan.

And then there’s Lenny Bruce (Luke Kirby), capable of wringing out even the tears you might not have in the finale’s first scenes, when Susie tracks him down at a club now ravaged by drug addiction and lawsuits. (the real Lenny Bruce would have died of an overdose a year later, in 1966), and months earlier in the character’s final appearance, at a Chinese restaurant where he takes Midge to dinner. Here, pretending to read a fortune cookie note, he gives it the boost he needs for the final sprint. Down with the tears, again. Cleverly, though, there is no romantic ending for Midge, or not in the “traditional” sense of the word. The time jump to the ’80s showed us the split between him and Susie when Joel went to jail to save his ex-wife from her manager’s ties to the mafia. Flashforward: In 2005 Miriam is in her very luxurious apartment on Park Avenue, she locks herself in the smallest and most colorful room, dialing a number on a cordless phone. Susie answers, wearing a very Marzotti kaftan in a villa who knows how many time zones away. they attack the registration of Jeopardy!The historic American quiz show (as did Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner), and together they laugh until they lose their breath.

“I hope this is the beginning of a wave of stories about women, by women, for women, for men, for everyone,” Brosnahan told the BBC.The Hollywood Reporter US, I hope this is just the beginning of such wonderful stories. Thank you Mrs. Maisel, and good night. Last time. I’m not crying, no no…
