I knew about Lynn.
But the surprise to me was
Nick. I had not heard he had cancer. That was quite shocking and just hurt my heart. I'm scared to look and see if he is still alive. Break it to me, is he?
Give me the child at 7 and I will show you the man.
Does this apply to you?
If any of you have not seen the 7Up series, it is so fascinating. Heartbreaking mostly for me. I don't know why, but I just feel so much sadness watching these years pass by. I wanted so much more for all of them. I wanted them all to have the same opportunities.
Some were tough enough to fight and make it on their own. Some barely squeeked by, sort of fulfilling stereotypes of class.
Now that Apted has passed, I wonder if someone in his team will pick up the mantle and carry on. I so hope so. I want to see 70 Up very much. I so thank these people for participating.
I saw myself in every single one of them.
Boarding school, state run school -- I absolutely DO NOT get this system in Britain where you send your small children off to be raised by someone else. Do they still do this today?
One of the 7Ups didn't send their kid to boarding school, I forget who that was now. And I just watched the damn show! He had the mindset I did. I'll raise my own children, thank you.
And Jackie was right to jump on Apted, all the questions to the girls focused on marriage, children, boys. They asked the boys about girls and marriage, but it was just one of numerous questions. The focus questions for the girls was pretty much on that topic.
I think it does. I think I haven't strayed all that far from who I was at that early age in many fundamental ways.
I haven't watched anything in the last week, was too tired with the extra work hours.
@Hedda Gabler I'm not sure about his character development, I felt very conflicted about him in S1. In S2 I'm seeing more of the reason for his.... uh... choices. I'll let you know more once I'm finally done with it all.
I started a rewatch of the whole series myself. Neil was such a beautiful little boy. So sweet and alive and cheerful. If you go on, pay attention in 14Up to how his demeanor changed so dramatically. Not just teenage attitude crap which they all display, but something more broken. it really shows a decline.
if anyone watches The Irregulars i’d appreciate your thoughts. Just dropped on Netflix .
