Comparing their visions of each other is interesting. She envisions him perfectly, got his mannerisms on point. However, he envisions her as a courtly lady, polished and guilded.
He envisions her as someone highly superior to him and aware of it. Which she kind of is: from the moment she gets there she criticizes his French, how the Russian people adopt French fashion, the lack of culture at the court, etc. He sees her as this superior alien being because in his mind she is always ruthlessly expecting more from him and he can't figure out what it is that she wants, but from an outside POV we see that she expects more or less normal stuff and it's him who's deeply fucked up.
@@Digmer and that she is. but thats not how she presents herself? She's solid or pastels with buttoned-up collars and minimal makeup/jewelry. Her coronation gown was his grandma's fashion. BUT he sees her as this raunchy, blonde bomb shell.
@@cesaralarcon5228 for sure, just as someone who's researched a lot into the Romonov family and history of the Russian Tsars, if you know the history of this Peter, it's just so funny to see him being portrayed better.
@@AmethystEyes Normally, that would be true, but it wasn't just Catherine's point of view, MANY who worked in the royal palace, nobles, and generals hated Peter, calling him a moron and someone not fit to lead. He was recorded acting like a child in public, doing horrible pranks on not only his wife, but also other nobles and royal dignitaries, showing little sexual interest, the list goes on.
They made her makeup brown and not pinkish, and suddenly there’s sparkles on her hair. It’s almost as if she time travel to the modern day clubbing and came back cussing and swearing. And she’s always adorned with long sleeves and flowy dress, so this dress and her hairstyles are not her usual hairstyles.
@@linarios2450 He's the king of Russia and ethnically Russian through his mother's side and technically German paternally through his father's side and he sounds British for what i assume, comedic effect .....
“Having it all” in his subconscious image of her doesn’t include the crown. He already lost the crown by this point. I only noticed that now upon rewatching.
This scene is the hottest thing in the world to me. There's nothing more breathtaking than a gorgeous, confident, and utterly ruthless woman. Something about the sadism and effortless dominance just makes her so compelling.
This scene looks and sounds like it came straight out of Silent Hill. That background ambiance as Catherine declares her intentions to kill him... Give me the chills til the ending music killed the mood.
It shows how he sees her in his mind. I wonder if she would look different in his mind now after she tried to stab him to death. Maybe not as she did try to do it before.
Somehow I dont think this is historically accurate. Not even in russo-german relationship. Are there some cultural or media repercussions for mispresentation on these two historical figures?

I like how he sees catherine as this hot mess version of herself
What? She looks fabulous and sparkly.

@@dfashionb ohhhhh true. Ok. I see it now.
It's funny how he sees her. Sparkly lol
ethereal, beautiful, powerful, and ruthless - he's the only one who knows who she really is
I still can't get over how much more competent this Peter was to his real life counterpart.
Well they had to make him entertaining for show purposes

@@jish55 to be fair to the real life him, history is written by the victors and Catherine was that victor.

after i read her biography, thats what makes this show funnier to me haha
"I am going to say a lot of French words in a perfect accent " This line really makes me laugh~
I watched it a few times a realized she was eating a heart 😂 and Elle Fanning really nailed her role.
A heart, roasted on a spit, no less.
I kept seeing that too and rewinding it back and forth. I thought it was a heart
i thought it was a brain at first XD
Wao I love the make-up they gave it to Elle for this scene. She looks so regal and bad-ass.
Now she really looks like the real Catherine

0:38 - 0:56 this was the scariest, most British death threat I have ever heard.....
and shes not even british
@@nocturnalpisces1299 Neither is he, but he sounds British anyway…..
@@L2L732 wdym? He's British

@@L2L732 wait I thought we were talking about the actor. Nicholas Holt is British lol sorry my bad
I thought everything was salty because of his tears. Lol
If catherine was evil, she would pretend killing their baby before killing him.
“Having it all” in his subconscious image of her doesn’t include the crown. He already lost the crown by this point. I only noticed that now upon rewatching.
Reminds me of Khalissi eating a horses heart in season 1 of GOT.
I find it very funny how similar she is to her mother here

Evil is the new sexy
Nasty

1:40 absolutely breathtaking and haunting ✨
It shows how he sees her in his mind.
I wonder if she would look different in his mind now after she tried to stab him to death.
Maybe not as she did try to do it before.
She looks so great here ✨
Never saw a better looking human being then her before tbh
I Love Catherine's look in Peter's hallucination..
she's SO pretty in this
Elle Fanning blossoms in this role ❤
I love him! Ever since he was a little boy in the movie, About a boy 😂😂😂🥰🥰
I swear I was hallucinated myself
Whoa!!! Crazy love. Eating his heart and threatening to kill him.😮😮😏😏😏.
Catherine: you were this close to having it all😈. And then you threw it all away . 👿 for a seven minute pity f€&@ with my mother .
Love ❤️ love the show 💯
Archie f/himself with a turnip 🤣🤣
😳😳😳😳 . Why are the hot ones always the evil ones
That's the point. Evil is very alluring.
@@zitronentee indeed 🤒🥵
Peter u masochist
This scene remind me of I see red by everyone loves an outlaw
Was he poisoned? I’m confused
Is that a heart or a Cornish hen!? 😂😂😂😂 edit: nvm 🤢😂
He is a masochist
How soon would I need to see a psychiatrist if I found this imaginary conversation confusingly hot...?
No reason, just curious.
Is not princess eating
Somehow I dont think this is historically accurate.
Not even in russo-german relationship.
Are there some cultural or media repercussions for mispresentation on these two historical figures?
All the PR beforehand stressed it wasnt going to be historically accurate. Can't remember the exact wording but it was quite clear.
@@sarahholland2600 well i am glad you like it!
@@sarahholland2600 is there a video somewhere to see this scene which caused all this?
It’s written and presented as historical fiction, so no
They literally stated it multiple times it was never going to be historically accurate
