I love how TLOU HBO uses colors…
Before Sarah dies the colors are a lot warmer, a lot “kinder”, almost
But when she dies, and it transitions to present day, the colors get colder. More stark.
But Ellie’s colors are warm
And you see that contrast…
…then you see their color schemes come together
i love you ethel cain
Logan having had one last chance to see his family all together at Connor’s wedding but deciding to skip it for a business deal is such a delicious bookend. His last day on earth! Roman and Connor still holding out their hands please dad please just come. Even after all the frustration boiled over and they’d all said their piece and held their ground it all ended right where it started. And the choice to have no shots of his face as he was dying as a representation of the truest version of Logan the children knew. A faceless man an insurmountable distance away, unresponsive to any amount of crying or cursing or pleading. The memory of the last time they were all together will be of him turning his back.
it does not matter if you have a genuine desire to do good (kendall) or a deep capacity for love (roman) or have comparatively progressive politics and are a victim of the misogynistic environment your father created (shiv). because if your sense of self is so intrinsically tied to oppressive capitalist structures, what good are your best impulses, your love, your decency? waystar is them and they are waystar what does any kindness they possess actually matter if they are only capable of acting upon it within the framework of the fascistic, patriarchal corporation that they have no desire to escape?
NO KENDALL!!!! DONT FALL INTO THE CYCLE OF ABUSE!!!!!!! DONT START ANOTHER PAINFUL AND FRUITLESS PURSUIT TO BECOME CEO!!!!!!! YOU CAN ESCAPE THE SUCCESSION!!!!!!!! ITS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER!!!!!! KENDALL!!!!
You're not a killer. You have to be a killer. But, nowadays, maybe you don't. I don't know.
