Jack Castello: “Shine that light on me, make me feel like I matter. Even if it's a lie.”
One of the best mini series (beside Band of Brothers) I've ever watched.
Trivia
Holland Taylor sent costume designers Lou Eyrich and Sarah Evelyn photographs of her mother from the '30s and '40s to help with research. They ended up replicating some of the items she wore for Taylor's character, Miss Kincaid.
Paul von Hartman: "We don't choose the times we live in. The only choice we have is how we respond."
George Mackay running again. Film before the actual war. Very interesting.
Trivia
Though Hartmann and Legat are fictional, Harris confirms that they are partially inspired by the diplomat Adam von Trott zu Solz and the scholar AL Rowse. The latter, who was gay, wrote about his intense platonic attachment to Trott at Oxford. Trott, though a considerably less amiable character than the fictional Hartmann, went on to join Claus von Stauffenberg's 1944 plot to assassinate Hitler. It failed and Trott was executed.

WATCHED IN RIALTO - DE PIJP, AMSTERDAM
Eugene Allerton: "I'm not queer. Lee... I'm not queer."
William Lee: "I know."
Eugene Allerton: "I'm disembodied."
Luca Guadagnino is one of those directors who resonates deeply with me, especially in his exploration of personal sexuality.
With Queer, he once again crafts a world set in the 1950s, where two individuals can safely navigate the discovery of their own sexuality and identity. The entire film feels like a dream, brought to life through…
Susan Cooper: "I look like someone's homophobic aunt!"
Loved every second of this movie, it was so funny! The whole thing felt huge, with some really big set pieces.
Trivia
Screenwriter Paul Feig, who once was an aspiring stuntman himself, is a fan of Jason Statham's action movies. Feig tailored Statham's Rick Ford character in the film especially for the actor to play.
