We watched The Handmaid's Tale last night.
I have some vague impressions: It was intense and disturbing, but i was not traumatized. I am seeing on social media that many have had really strong reactions, sobbing, shaking, etc. I don't know if this might be because i have read the book a bunch of times, and led a discussion about it earlier this year-- or because the religious mindset that produced that dystopia has always been part of my life. I always found the book more grim than shocking, more of a validation than a revelation: "yep, that's exactly what would happen if my uncle had his way, this is a good reminder to keep an eye on him" I did find that i had to explain a lot of what was going on to Mr. Jenny, who has not read the book. i am wondering if the script was written assuming most viewers would have read it. Either the exposition was confusing, or Mr. Jenny is impatient.
