WARNING: SPOILER
In the last episode: Williams psycho brother played with Noora fill anxiety, and fish cakes were given new symbolic value.
SATURDAY 10:48
It has been exhausting to be Noora this spring. The well-controlled, emotional fortification her has received frequent shots of the foundation as Noora’s world has been steadily expanded by complicating and tilgrumsende factors as friends, lovers, feelings, lovers and eventually potential predators. Hell is the other, and the solution is not to deal with them.
So Saturday morning, the small teenage mutant Noora turtle’n our retreated even further into his shell. She lies in her bed, staring once more into eternity. The section is identical to last week’s opening image, but this time it’s thankfully no Nikolai lurking in the background, although the anxiety he has put in her continued to weigh her down. William nag, but she avoids him. Eskild is the only one who manages to get her to talk, but even to him she says she is only little twisted. He understands, of course, that there is something more behind, giving her two days to “get well”, until we realize that he is going to take action. You’re too good for this world, Eskild.
MONDAY 5:50 p.m.
Two days later (it’s May 16! Minor 17.!) Trying Noora typing on chronicle her, without having gone further than a word document full of incomplete sentences in different font size. For it is not just the way it is to be a writer? Thank you for seeing me, Shame.
She sends a Facebook message to Nikolai, asking to know what happened last Friday. His answer comes uimddelbart: Noora! It was so quiet from you! Meet me and we’ll take a beer and talk about it. I’ll buy you;)
Never has a heartbeat smiley appeared less Kosiko.
But then Eskild convalescence period over, and suddenly says William in the door and wondering why she will not talk to him. Noora trying halfheartedly to blame both illness and that he did not have to spend the last hours of school- her. Fortunately William intelligence level higher than a crust of bread, and buy nothing of what she says. He embraces her instead, while Noora anxiety out about how she can not sleep, unable to think, unable to write the features that must be delivered. “J I can not breathe. It feels like I’m going to die .” He manages to calm her down with some good old-fashioned intimacy, and Noora fall asleep in his arms.
William takes his laptop her and look through your notes. It dings from Facebook. Repeatedly. All of Norway holds collective breath for an actor in a youth series moves a mouse pointer on a desktop icon.
You know you’ve done something right when you manage to make Hitchcock voltage of a word document and the sound of a Facebook message.
But William close your browser and start typing. Respect for others’ privacy ftw!
TUESDAY 8:30
Noora wake on May 17 of that William blowing romantic / annoying / morraåndete (delete as appropriate) on her face. She reluctantly sent off on 17 maifrokost to girls. He has even found out a dress for her. “I Kanka go in it there, I used it on Christmas ball in eighth phoney, it is the dritstøgg.”
But as she sits in the dress in the car to William outside Eva’s house, and William partying loving one 17th of May ribbon on her. “Call if there would be something.”
“There’s some stuff … which I must find out … before I can tell you, “ says Noora.
the fifteen worst words a girl on the way to the 17th of may breakfast can say to a kid with fringe and Porsche. Such things can reduce anyone to a paranoid little anxiety ball. But W-mans eternal glory, he takes it in stride and just kiss her, says she can tell when she’s ready, and he loves her. We’ve got to see a part of the bad features of Williams macho self so far this season. It’s nice to be reminded of the front of the medal as well.
The breakfast runs its course without Noora manages to be especially to present. It is only when Eva gets up reading aloud of Noora’s chronicle (skyggeforfattet of William “Faulkner” Magnusson), and the national anthem not directly usubtilt swells on the soundtrack, that Noora slowly starting to wake up. “We live in societies because we need each other. People need people.”
the episode takes care actually time to read all chronicle. In a usually extremely impatient medium, and in a series with an audience that is accused of having attention span of seven seconds, this is mildly unusual. And super effective. Bravo. Text Reading works on many levels: both content and Eve gesture arouses Noora from apathy her and get her to dare to believe that people around her will her well. Not least because the text is written both for and just her, when she was at its weakest, most vulnerable, and were sleeping while William was watching over her. It talks directly from William to Noora, both encourage her to open up and to take the tricky choices rather than an abdication, and also shows that fuckboyen has had an ever so slight progress since he breialt told her a few episodes ago that violence is what drives the world forward. “ In a peaceful society, with equal rights, we must bear to listen to each other and try to understand each other .”
On top of it all stands it as a direct appeal to the franchise’s young core fans, a kind of awareness of both the freedom of choice and the accompanying responsibilities that await them: “Now soon we will take over this country. it is up to us which values will prevail here in the future. “this can be left almost as serial makers’ mission statement. Especially in light of the rest of the episode people enlightening agenda.
Eva gets applause and Noora looking down in the table. The girls realize at last that something is wrong. It took them long enough. Noora says she thinks she might have been raped, and tells the full story. It took her a long enough time.
* Noora going to tell her and William secretly date but Chris interrupts her. “ All knows about you and William, Noora ” she says, with perfectly balanced dosage of both love, care, bittersweet, quizzical amusement and sadness that it is this context it appears in. There’sa line delivery of top class, and reminds us of how much Ina Svenningsdal manage to get out of its relatively few lines, despite the fact that Chris has landed softly in the background of the action this season .
the rest of the stage is a little crash course in how-tack-en-possible-party rape, both for the victim and for the next. It ends with deciding to do it Noora should have done right away: go at the rape, despite the fact that it is ten days since it happened.
the five girls march, in yet another variant of what has become the show’s signature image, the long line in slow motion, into at the rape. Everyone is waiting with Noora. They are with her to the doctor. In a tåblå caught by a modern version of Christian Krogh “Albertine in politilægens waiting room” are two girls in costume, one in neon pink party dress and one in oslo suit with hijab, and protective of a flimsy, white dressed seventeen who finally dared to admit to himself that people need people .
THURSDAY 7:19 p.m.
(Between tirsdags- and Thursday sequences there is a short but powerful music montage that is not included in the clips that are released during the week. Here the photographer apparently been out Wednesday morning and filmed everything festsøppelet – broken flag, empty champagne bottles and national dignity – strewn in the streets.)
Noora sitting on the classic Frogner water hole Forest & amp; Brown, waiting for Nikolai. He’s 19 minutes late, psychopath manipulative as he is, and he – you’ve seen this scene probably a hundred times already, have not you? I do not say what happens here, do I? OK, in short. It starts with the hose Nikolai alternately curry favor with and threatens Noora on, but he quite uncertain terms said she should do as he says if he will not publish nude pictures, she has him in zero, and turns it metaphorical table. The pictures he has of her is in practice child pornography, he has bestowed a minor and taken nude pictures of her without consent. And she has recordings of the entire concession. Nikolai is castrated and reduced to a hissing housecat. Goose pimples in the entire country pops out faster than we are able to fistpumpe in line with Noora’s flat hand after hand flat. Move across Daenerys. To stand up against patriarchy is easy when one is immune to fire and has three full-grown dragons. When one is a fragile girl from Mjøndalen it requires a little more. There is a new Khaleesi in Frogner district.
FRIDAY 2:15 p.m.
But Shame had not been ashamed if any victory was short-lived, or if people actually managed to talk to one another, or follow their own advice. While the girls sitting in the window and waiting for an opportunity to hear Mari what really happened that Friday, the Nikolai course told William’s selective version of what happened between him and Noora, and William has forgotten that he said that one should never listen to Nikolai, he is deceitful and manipulative. So William goes straight into the throat of Noora. “ Tell me you have not slept with my brother .” He is not interested in hearing any nuances or reservations. He just wants a categorical answer. Everything Noora manage to say is the truth: “ I do not .”
He goes in anger over the schoolyard, with Noora bønnfalende after him. She tries to stop him with words, with tears, by force, but eventually she left behind alone, humiliated, stripped in the schoolyard, in front of everyone. To come out of his shell, making them dependent on man has his price.
Atlas Shrugged
But let’s try to put their hearts painful cliffhanger aside for a moment. For it is important that we in no way under the driver that achieved in this episode, especially in Forest & amp; Brown scene. And I’m not thinking only on Noora’s courage and ability to implement, but what series are getting into. Yes, scenes like this have a distinctly feminist wishful thinking, and it’s well Unfortunately, too many similar, woolly abuse cases out there where no law to win the same way, but that’s not the point. The point here is the signal effect. Showing how to take back control, refuse abuser to control the conversation, indicates that manipulation and control techniques do not work, and dare to acknowledge that you do not have to stand alone in the storm. The fort could become clammy and moralizing enlightenment becomes instead a demonstration of power in how convey complex and important issues through character and action.
And perhaps more importantly, so has Shame over the past episodes made us really feel what it is like to be in the shoes of a potential abuse victim. And when this series hit so wide, both boys and girls, so that means there hopefully sitting part male out there too, which eventually not only “knows” – because it has been passively imprinted into them – that like this is a problem, but now also know , because they are experiencing and feel the body.
and that is what is storytelling great strength: it takes the shortcut past the brain and goes straight into our hearts and souls and makes us feel the world through the eyes of others. Good drama is empathy on prescription, and with Shame license has become a part of public health. It is more powerful than thousands of educational campaigns or indignant and polarizing feature articles. It’s like that here would change the world. A teen series at a time.
