Some people are disappointed that the crash wasn't filmed in more detail, but it's important to remember that Diana's family is still alive and thinks of her every day, even years after her loss. It's admirable that Netflix chose to handle this respectfully, instead of showing it in a sensational way as some might have hoped. This scene is portrayed in a very respectful and emotional manner, making it heartbreaking to see how Diana spent her final minutes.
As someone who was born after Diana's death, hearing the sound of the crash along with the horn as the screen turned black really just-... I can't even describe it. Knowing that those sounds were most likely the last sounds that Princess Di and everyone else in the car heard is just bone chilling... Heartbreaking...
It’s in poor taste - and tacit victim blaming - to turn this tragedy into an oversimplistic and judgemental cautionary tale. Besides, if there are any real clear morals to be made of the whole thing, it’s don’t speed and don’t drive under the influence. But of course that’s a less convenient moral for people to take home, isn’t it, since so many people are tempted to and don’t like being called out on it, and since the driver of the car wasn’t nearly as memorable as the passengers, so placing the implied moral of the story on him doesn’t feel nearly as satisfying from a storytelling point of view. And that’s in part why making morals out of this story is in poor taste: it creates a conflict of interest between art and truth.
Ngl for the most expensive show netflix has ever created, and for the most expensive episode of the entire series, I expected a more climatic and realistic version of the crash. I know they weren’t going into detail, but at least time the crash right - they were half way through the tunnel when they hit, this depiction suggests it crashed the moment it entered the tunnel- which it didn’t.
I agree. You see more of the crash in the first scene of the first episode with the relentless onslaught of the paparazzi. However, this scene was so emotional. The buildup to crash was tearworthy why I think surpasses any financial expectations of the show.
Everybody went mad about this being filmed, (being insensitive and all that) so I think they filmed it in a way so we didn’t actually see the crash. This way the scene wouldn’t offend as many people
That night in Paris 1997 Diana and Dodi it’s like a timecapsule of a romance a tragedy There world lost 3 people that day Sad I remember that night my mother and I saw the news report and waiting for updates I was only 4 years old
Though I do feel the crash was handled tastefully enough, I also feel it could've been better. The shot of Diana and Dodi's clasped hands should've been the final one of that scene, specifically the second interlinking of their fingers. It should've then been followed by a pause on that image, then a fade-over to the lights, coming on at Balmoral. Or, as the car drove towards the tunnel, there'd be that same fade-over. (11/19/2023)
Nice job turning a high speed chase (the Mercedes was doing over 120 mph at the time of the crash) into a low speed crawl, it looked like it was barely going over 30 here.
Right! After watching it numerous times and getting the emotions worked out I put the video in high speed and that really made it look more realistic of how fast they were going and how quick the crash happened.
@@catherinespark oh I am well aware of how fast it was going. I have watched endless documentaries and done research. I even went to do a drive by of the tunnel when I was in Paris because it was so interesting. And if you put the video in high speed it really gives you a feel of how fast they were going.
I wasn't born then (I was born in 2005), my mother was just waking up at 8 AM and when she wanted to go into the living room she saw my grandparents motionless in shock watching the TV with wide eyes and he asked them what happened. , and they didn't say anything, then when she entered the living room and saw with her own eyes, she was also in shock, and no one said anything for 10 minutes, everyone was just watching TV ... And one more thing, my mother's cousin (my grandmother's sister's daughter) gave birth on that day...August 31, 1997 and named her daughter Diana (and as an idea, my mother's cousin had not yet found out that Princess Diana had died! she only found out after a few hours! her daughter's name had nothing to do with Princess Diana, my mother's cousin was not thinking of her when he named her daughter, she had been planning this for months!!) so yes. ..fate is very strange sometimes! We are from Romania btw
I think it was just put there to say that how it was just like every normal day, some guy walking his dog, it created more of a powerful scene, when really it was the end of an era with Diana dying :(@@LouiseAndersen1991
We can never know, but ask yourself this: Why did Diana and Dodi not just stay at the hotel the entire night? Why did Diana have no security? Why was the driver speeding? And why, like you ask, did she not wear her seatbelt? Its not just her not wearing a seatbelt that got her killed, though that was a big part of it. But we can never know, what would have happend, had she just stayed at her hotel that night
People can still get killed in this kind of situation even with a seatbelt. My gut feeling is that in this instance, it wouldn’t have made any difference to outcome. The real moral of the story is to not drive under the influence.
@@catherinespark. Actually, no, a seatbelt would have saved her life. Her not being restrained (by a seatbelt) caused her to be tossed about in the car and so mortally injured. She didn't put the belt on. Maybe she was distracted and forgot to, or, maybe she didn't wear seatbelts. Speeding and driving under the influence caused the crash: driver's responsibility. Not wearing the seatbelt: that was her's.
For the show that graphically show us how the Romanovs got brutally murder but somehow decide not to show the car crash here and made the incident inaccuracies by making the car crash almost immediately after entering the tunnel?
The whistleblower MI5 officer Annie Machon said Diana was murdered because Dodi had influenced her to launch her next campaign on behalf of the Palestinian struggle.
Oh my goodness more conspiracy nuts😂 I can forgive people who say 9/11 was an inside job and hell even the ones who say that the Royal Family are all lizard people. But I seriously cannot see the value in killing someone as Diana😂

I am so glad they did not show the crash. Thank you for that Netflix

I miss Diana every single day. Our beautiful Queen of Hearts
How can you miss someone you didn't know?
It's that kind of obsession and admiration for someone you've never met which got her killed
@@Wade-rk1qgso true.
You killed her hahah
Cause we have Internet,
Moral Lesson: Number one RULE OF GETTING INTO THE CAR AND WHILE DRIVING!!!!! ALWAYS PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON!
its wasnt about, seatbelt it was clearly suicide.Or they were so fast

The saddest part of the scene...
To this day it's still a touchy subject to bring up.
It's good Netflix didn't show the actual crash considering this is still a very touchy subject.

In real life it wasnt a espetacular well filmes scene

@@legoworldstudios1323also nobody knows how they crashed so they couldn’t really show it. Though apparently another car was involved.
@@legoworldstudios1323the sensitive of the people is exhausting...

Agreed... Needs a reedit
I think it’s perfect the way it is, not graphic and it get the point across. Plus a pause on the image would’ve been cheesy
this wouldve worked well imo
Pipe down, Spielberg.
1997 lost the People’s Princess😢😢😢😢
“The People’s Queen 👸.” “Queen 👸 Diana.”
👑👸❤️🌹🏴🌹
1997 this happened 😢😢😢😢😢😢so sad
The car had not yet reached the tunnel, and the sounds of the accident had already been turned on. Hackwork

Right! After watching it numerous times and getting the emotions worked out I put the video in high speed and that really made it look more realistic of how fast they were going and how quick the crash happened.
Actually it was doing over 100km/h - about 65mph.

It was doing 100 Kpm which is around 65-70 mph.
Still dangerously fast but not quite 120 miles per hour fast.
Heartbreaking

Does anyone remember where they were when this terrible tragedy happened?😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
I was not even planned but my Mother was in Paris when it happend she said It was terrible 😞
I wasn't born then (I was born in 2005), my mother was just waking up at 8 AM and when she wanted to go into the living room she saw my grandparents motionless in shock watching the TV with wide eyes and he asked them what happened. , and they didn't say anything, then when she entered the living room and saw with her own eyes, she was also in shock, and no one said anything for 10 minutes, everyone was just watching TV ...

We are from Romania btw
Yes
😢
Can anyone tell me who is that guy with the dog please I think he’s a key factor a key witness to the Princess Diana car crash
Just an everyday french person. Not important. And TBH, I think very fictional
I think it was just put there to say that how it was just like every normal day, some guy walking his dog, it created more of a powerful scene, when really it was the end of an era with Diana dying :(@@LouiseAndersen1991
Why on earth wasn't she wearing her setbelt on that faithful night we would still have her today I guess we'll never know
She wasn’t wearing her seatbelt because she was trying to duck from the paparazzi.
We can never know, but ask yourself this: Why did Diana and Dodi not just stay at the hotel the entire night? Why did Diana have no security? Why was the driver speeding? And why, like you ask, did she not wear her seatbelt? Its not just her not wearing a seatbelt that got her killed, though that was a big part of it.

People can still get killed in this kind of situation even with a seatbelt. My gut feeling is that in this instance, it wouldn’t have made any difference to outcome. The real moral of the story is to not drive under the influence.

That Joker Diana was killed on behave of the Royal family The same family who is making Harry life a living hell
Wouldn’t surprise me. Someone who worked for MI5 told my mum she was murdered too.
Oh my goodness more conspiracy nuts😂 I can forgive people who say 9/11 was an inside job and hell even the ones who say that the Royal Family are all lizard people. But I seriously cannot see the value in killing someone as Diana😂
Oh you and your conspiracy theories. Where's your tinfoil hat by the way?
