    God, I love this scene. I honestly prefer the talking scenes to the sex scenes. They depict those moments in life when you connect with another person, the magic of a quiet moment in a beautiful place.

      Simply not true IMO. Money is essential much like food, water but it's not everything. True fulfilment comes from within. A lot of it comes down to the Human mind, the most complex, adaptable known object in the Universe and how we are made to forget its power.

    This show is so beautifully written. It is moments like in this clip that makes you fall in love or despise someone. Is the organic talk, empathy, and humility of the other person, or maybe the arrogance and apathy. Other shows aren't really showing moments like this, real and organic. I love it truly.

    No such thing as class these days. There are tradesman I know who've been able to buy a house at the age of 23 whilst silver spoons who consider themselves "middle class" struggle to get on the housing ladder after years at uni and working in admin roles/ teaching.

    • @elio6037
      @elio6037 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Not true. Although class has shifted completely in the UK and what we deem as working, middle and upper class has changed and counties to do so we still have a working a middle and an upper class. They just look different today.
      For example owning your own home is something many middle class people really struggle to achieve like you said, where a few decades ago they would have been on the property ladder well before 30. But home ownership isn't the only consideration.
      Income inequality is worse now than it was then, levels of poverty are rising year on year and most working class people worry about the same shit they always have. Figuring out how to pay the rent and out food on the table.
      Sure that working class might look different. They might no longer be made up of those traditional working class trades, and be full of people who work in retail, customer service, hospitality and care.
      Either way as long as there are a small number of people with a lot and a large number of people with less or in some cases close for nothing there will be a thriving class system in the UK.

    0:29 Connell's comment about money makes it obvious that he CLEARLY doesn't understand how the world really works. Judging by the support for socialism in the comments, many of you need to grow up too. What truly matters is VALUE, not money. If you make things that others value, then they pay you for it. Money is just a medium to record value and exchange it without bartering. The more value you bring to others, the more you get in return.
    At least, that's how things work in a world where people are allowed to make and trade things freely.
    Socialism and Communism killed millions of people in the 20th century, yet all you kids glorify it as some utopia. You're all nuts, and you need to read some history. Better yet, let the real world hit you in the head a few times.

      It was relevant bc his mom worked for her significantly wealthier family. It was this dynamic they'd never discussed before in their relationship. It's not that it was a taboo thing, nobody cared about that and its not talked of again. This particular episode is just showing how a vacation to Italy is normal for Marianne but super thrilling for Connell. Which leads to this scene, and the purpose is to acknowledge that although they are the same in many ways and basically grew up near one another, the amount of money you have does really shape your perspective on life.

      I wouldn't say it attempts to seem sophisticated. It depicts two adults from vastly different spheres of life having an honest conversation about how money has changed Connell's situation so drastically. And a major point of the show is that is ISN'T weird, only made to seem that way by Marianne's toxic family and Connell's social anxiety. Don't try to criticise something you've never seen. And like everyone else has mentioned, the profundity of the conversation is compounded by the context; a time when socioeconomic divisions are more apparent than ever. You can pretend everyone is equal all you like, but this isn't and will never be the case.
