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.

@@isao2952 money allows you to think about and do the other stuff... "it's not everything" well, humans are not made of 100% water, but it is 60-70% and without it we're dead

@@simonh7025 I love the first two of the series, but the third traumatised me.

@@GrainneMhaol what first two in the series?

@@susufray3601 1. Before Sunrise, 2. Before Sunset...and then came 3. Before Midnight

There was a little too much sex in the show in my opinion! My fiancée thought that I would have loved it but it was actually quite gratuitous at times.

@@Saintinthecity-wh9nl soft

I know, right! That's what I thought. Smitten!

The continuity is off. Their script supervisor should have caught that.

Well, capitalists believe that too, so we wouldn’t know

Xiaoyi Ren the book is a communist book as the author said and both characters are heavily influenced from reading Marx. So no, they’re definitely not capitalists.

Dan Cater The author literally is a communist and said the book is communist literature. The point was not missed

…or maybe, it's just a stupid thing to say.

It’s actually a book. And the book is much better than the TV adaptation.

Yeah but it's never presented as a good thing ever throughout the entire show. They both knew it was an awful thing for Connell to do but they were both able to move on from it and it led to a lot of growth from Connell that shone through in his treatment towards Marianne in the future.

I doubt that he didn't think to ask her. It's just the childish side of him, you know like peer pressure especially how insecure he is as portrayed from the beginning

He wrote in his diary about it

@@paulaalcantara9299 is this in the book version?

No, she never acknowledged her class privilege or tried to understand his circumstances.

Yes. the scene in italy was very familiar with that in before midnight

yes omg this whole series has a kind of realism that I loved In the before trilogy

Is that a book?

YES! especially their conversations.

Infamous? They have some of the most wonderful sex scenes ever put in television, they had an intimacy coach, they felt safe and empowered doing them... i don’t think “infamous” is the word i would use to describe it🤔

Triana Q - did you actually watch the series?! If you did, what a bizarre comment. If you didn't, what a bizarre comment. (p.s. the Swedish scenes, in particular, were depressing and horrible and Sweden looked very uninviting ...)

@@johnnyofthesticks7260 yes, the way the student loans system works in Ireland and the uk means anyone of any economic background can attend. It’s not like in the states which has an appalling system which means many people of lower economic backgrounds can’t go to college.

Yes, because Communism is soooooo great.

It’s not communist literature, it’s a piece which can be viewed through a Marxist lense.

It is not communist literature.

Very Irish problem

It was a bit more than that.

Doesnt matter who one fancies for a partner; it is the dynamic relationship between people that intrigues most people. It is what is under the flesh and has nothing to do with sexual preferences.... it is the character (and characters chemistry) that brings life to any story.

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.

Money doesn’t buy class. Class in British society is still down to job role and values. Also, you sound very snobby- there’s nothing wrong with admin roles or teaching.

@@elio6037 show is not set in the UK

@@friendgray1 True I know many working class millionaires from trades. However, they still speak poor English, have low academics, read and watch trashy material.

@@friendgray1 it’s not even really about job roles, so much of it is still about family, upbringing, inheritance, and what jobs your parents did

Oh my god, you are everywhere. I'm genuinely curious why you're so invested.

The Future The characters are Irish! Based on the novel by the Irish novelist, Sally Rooney. So ... your comment doesn't really make much sense.

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.

Monse 1500 agree, makes the world readily available

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.

Ireland isn't britian 😂
