Patty hat wieder von Sarah Deane gehört
Zitat:
I've sent the link to Sarah Deane and passed on some of your observations, here's her reply.
I love you guys, you know why? Because you know so much more than I do, it's like having my own private PA office. ;o)
Hadn't seen the trailer (I have now, thanks!). I know it must look like all the spoilers are given out - I think that's the way for all of the episodes but, to be honest, none of the stories are really about linear plots. They are all constructed to make 'ordinary people' like you and I really think about how we would react in certain situations.
I realise that, as fans of Richard, you will be looking at certain things - ie: him - but in the bigger picture, the show is more about asking questions of people, so it doesn't really matter (in my own humble opinion), if the 'story' is revealed, as I'm really, really, hoping that intelligent people like you guys will see beyond the 'tottie' and start giving thought to the issues that are raised. How would we react in a certain situation? Would our own morals stand up to the battering that day-to-day life constantly throws at us?
Sometimes, we need a 'bad angel' to appear to us, to make us face up to our own convictions, or lack of them. That bad angel doesn't need to be real, it just needs to push us into making decisions we wouldn't otherwise make. That is 'John Mulligan's' purpose in this piece.
Forget that it's Richard for a moment and, when you watch the whole thing, try and put yourself in Ellie's position and consider the million dollar question - 'I can't change everyone else's world, but I can change mine. But what is the cost? And is it worth it?'
Sorry if this is sounds a bit deep, but it was my motivation for writing DNW. Only when we are faced with a demon, will we ever know for sure how we will fight him. Though I'm guessing that, to you guys, if the 'demon' looked like Richard, you wouldn't fight him at all, right? ;o)
I think Richard and Christine gave brilliant performances - they have such great chemistry, as you shall see. But try not to watch it purely from the point of view of a Richard fan. Look inside the character, because that's where the drama lies.
