"bizzare"... it had already happened ( 80 years ago - europe - and it was much worse than that ) and it can happen again , if we won't be careful. wake up guys, it's much closer to us than we think.
Her character is interesting. She can be cruel and mean but makes you feel sympathetic towards her. You also get a vague feeling that the only reason she is like this is because of the situation she is in. There are moments I think that she can be kind and I think that she was a very nice person before the whole handmaids movement. But I hate her after that last episode and I don't think I could ever like her again. Great acting! 👌🏻
She (Serena) was an intellectual who worked with her husband in the same organization. They got more and more radical (as often happens with fundamentalist people of the left or right alike) in their views, and she (according to her own words in the last episode) herself wrote the rules for this new dystopic society.
Exactly. She CAN'T be kind, otherwise the house gets out of control, and then she will end up on the wall. Everyone on the show is just trying to survive, and depending on your status, the way you survive is different. For a woman of her status, the way to make it in Gilead is to have a baby, exert control over other women, and try to get your husband to make changes, because you yourself have no power to do anything.
Seriously? You used quotations because you know his questions aren't deep. I'm tired of every nook and cranny of the media bringing up Trump for their gain. If he really wanted to deeply discuss politics maybe he shouldn't be interviewing TV actresses....
Agreed, and plus he kept pushing that this was a 'far right' world when it could happen to either side. This side is just a little different than how it would probably be in a 'far left' world. We'd loose guns (giving the government complete physical power over us), we'd eventually loose religion, ext. He was just ignorant of people who disagreed woth him
ms wpwm Not really. Switzerland allows the people to own guns, and they are doing amazingly. You also can't say they are attacking just us because of guns. Im sorry, but thats illogical. Ariana Grande's concert, Paris, and Berlin all were attcked. Not because they had guns mind you, because they didn't worship Islam. That's the radical Islamic's whole thing. You don't follow Allah and our rules, you don't deserve to live. On the issue of where nost Radical Islamics get their guns, they get them illegally (or from parents). Banning that wouldn't matter because they'd still find away. Dude, these guys are basically suicide bomber ready to do anything to kill, you don't think they'll find away to get a gun? But that wasn't what I was saying. What I was saying is that when the people loose their power (via guns, speech, ext) the government gains controll. We are a land that was meant to be buillt on a small government, one that didn't have the government hanging over us and controlling everything we do. We have the right to own guns incase our own government decides that it wants power, just like England did back in the day. If you see in the show, these people are defensless. They get shot at and no one could shoot back. And you really want us to be compaired to other countries? Where one girl was being attacked, but used pepper spray, and instead of being helped, they charged her? He was trying to rape her, but I guess since it's another country it's okay.
Loved Yvonne - She's always so charming when she interviews, even with a host as horrific as this one. He kept trying to goad her into talking about politics when she made her discomfort very clear with her body language and facial expressions. He makes that "rewind" comment around 6:50 (classless), then after his Trump comment, he confuses uncomfortable laughter with actual laughter, "I don't think it's funny actually." Get off your high horse. You didn't even know that Reed Morano is a woman. He's not funny nor is he relatable, and he didn't do his research... but Yvonne handled it very well.
I know! It was not very good... but Yvonne would be awesome .... The film should focus on Kelly's early years in Hollywood rather than being a Princess
I really enjoyed this because when I watch the show I can feel nothing but complete and utter hate for the character of Serena. My blood boils every time she comes on screen. But Yvonne brought a very interesting aspect of humanity to all of it and gave her character so much more depth for me in opening a dialogue of sympathy toward a woman who is in some senses a victim as much as any of the handmaids. While that does not justify Serena’s behavior, it explains it. I think it was brilliant of this woman to find such a deep meaning in her character and it translates on screen.
I don’t know, it was pretty impossible to detect if he said or she so I would refrain from commenting on that. It was very quick and kind of muffled. But he was a pretty terrible interviewer.
Her performance on the first season was simply spectacular. I remember her portraying sexual attractiveness to spare on Dexter and now she plays a character that is, in a lot of ways, the opposite of that. That shows what a great actress Yvonne Strahovski is. The whole tv series was amazing. Looking forward to the second season.
I know this is such a late reply but what's wrong with people publicly talking about their politics? I'm not asking this to start an argument, just curious. I don't really understand why people get upset when public figures share their opinions and beliefs. Isn't that a human right regardless of occupation.
@@lynn99anna Personally, I consider it to be divisive among people. More often than not, it’s very difficult to convey exactly how you feel about a certain subject. And as a result, people can often get an inaccurate assessment for how you feel & what you think on certain subjects. And with news headlines, reporters often try to get any misleading headline about you or simplify what you’re saying so much that it becomes inaccurate. But TLDR; I think it’s often hard for people to look past certain disagreements they have with other people. And as a result, politics often cause more division than good.
@@vincenttalley5938 yeah, you've got a point. Sadly a lot of people can't agree to disagree on things which shows a lack of maturity in some people. Thank you for sharing a different insight :)
I have to disagree. I don't like American interviewers generally as they tend not to be very clued up and constantly interrupt their guests. However, I think this guy really, really knows his stuff, asks intelligent questions and gets fantastic interviews out of all of his guests. But then I've seen a lot of his Build interviews, and it's probably difficult to judge on this one instance. I recommend watching others in the series, as they are truly brilliant, and they seem to get the cast of all the most current shows and recent films, so they must be highly regarded by actors and producers etc and their publicists.
As much as agree the way it came off was creepy I think what he meant was because she said “we all have sex together” and he was saying saying wait... that didn’t happen because it didn’t happen as Serena isn’t sexually involved in that scene. But yes he’s a creepy and horrible interviewer!
Now that I think of it, she might be a good pick for the role of Diana in The Crown. She's got the looks (she's tall too) and I'm pretty sure the talent as well. Of course the accent's different but that wouldn't be a problem I guess...
Sophie HM yeah to americans everything is about America. I'm not american nor do I live there but it is very amusing to see online how they actually think this is where the US is heading. Pure fucking paranoia and hysterics.
Not exactly happening in Saudi Arabia but yeah maybe some part of it Women are allowed to read and be educated and they can work too Some jobs are not allowed Men can have a second wife by her own will if his first wife can’t carry a child and its not rape and the baby is the second wife’s baby no giving babys there But of course regarding the physical punishment its there but not also hitting the wife with a belt😥
+Sophie HM Saudi Arabia has lots of problems but you sound like an idiot as you're clearly not aware that Saudi women are highly educated. So, not quite.
zammmerjammer I never said they weren’t educated 😂 I wrote a whole feature article called “Yes, you should be afraid of the Handmaids Tale” and it was all about drawing points of similarity between Gilead and Saudi Arabia. Things such as female genita mutilation, stoning for rape and adultery, forced relations, the male guardianship system (which applies to both the commanders wives and handmaids)
I hope the Handmaid's Tale can serve as a wake up call for Americans! Also do not forget Margaret Atwood is Canadian! As a Canadian I am very amused by the portrayal of Canada in the series; very utopic! We are not THAT great but we are pretty great. :)
The interview is awkward. She clearly didnt want to go political. And even stated she was never politically aware and that shes not American, yet the host really pushed on it. This is more a profile on the host than the star being interviewed.
He's also dead wrong on the Australian far right, and she's obviously not politically involved enough to argue that point. Our right wingers do everything in their power to defund and degrade public health and education (along with environmental efforts and social welfare). It's the public who won't let them do it as brazenly as the American right, so they have to do it quietly in ways you wouldn't necessarily notice until you need the services that are having their funding chipped away at, or work in those industries.
As a 'non-American' in the US, I know talking politics can be a bit... tenuous. I'm perfectly happy discussing my views with people who know me, but even then - depending on the scenario - I'm very careful with what I say/ the way I say it. This is youtube, so I don't have to be quite so careful ;-) - I don't know this interviewer but he is so 'sheltered American' in the way he said he doesn't think Trump is funny - he had no idea why she laughed. It's a 'oh dear, how exactly do I answer this' kind of nervous laugh because she's speaking in front of an audio doing a promo interview. Fast forward 15 months to now & the comparisons have been drawn far more frequently, the conversation is there; but even still, passing comment on the political system - especially if you're not a citizen and can't vote (idk if she is... You can be a permanent resident but not a citizen) is different than if you *are* an American. He also showed he had no clue here by passing comment himself on Australian politics - which is fine if they're into a discussion, or it's been agreed as a talking point, but he really came across as tone deaf the way he did it. Also, in Australia, everyone legally must vote, so I'd hazard a guess that she skipped over that question and *really* didn't want to go political rather than she had absolutely nothing to say. It doesn't sound like any of this was prepared, or questions agreed upon. He did the same laughing and saying he 'doesn't know' "SEGA" (in the UK, we said 'say-ga') when he laughed at her for saying that and she gave examples of other words that are said differently... just came across as a poor interviewer, with no idea a world exists beyond the US.
Ash also shes a white woman. Her take on certain freedoms will always be a bit off... I don't say this to be controversial, i say this to point out the fact that people of privilege always see the idea of oppression as something they can seperate from whereas an Original australian descendent, i.e. the more disenfranchised of Australia have a completely different take on the political climate and certain aspects of the democracy.... remember there was a period in time where the original people of Australia were invaded and had their children taken away strippes of their language and had their women sexually assaulted and displaced into the lowest positions of white society...
Ask one question at a time, and you'll get even more authenticity. Compound questions are harder to answer especially when the interviewer cuts her off mid-sentence.
I should have watched her give an interview like this about the show when I first started watching because if you're not careful you can really start to hate her. She is so lovely and such a wonderful actress. I am so glad she doesn't relate to Serena joy at all lol
I'ma grown man and I always was indifferent towards feminism. After watching this I feel like I'm becoming a feminist. I know the show is extreme but it's seeing the extremes that keep you fighting against them. America is nothing like Gilead but the creepiness of the show comes from the conversion of America into Gilead. It really is a slow incremental breakdown of democracy until eventually you're in Gilead before you know it. And it usually starts with the ray Moore's and Donald Trump's of the world.
So you'd be happy with aligning yourself with a man hating movement which seeks to demonize women into pathetic helpless victims and blame men for literally everything
Actually it's called being equal, and I don't need a group to complain about someone making sexist comments to me. I have both guys and gals who are assholes and say the same thing. I can handle it myself. I don't need a group pushing for more jobs in computers simply because most women don't want to work on/build tech (the ones that do always get hired fast though). I just want to be equal and be able to cut the pink tax. That's it. No one needs to stand up for me unless I ask.
Happy Birthday Yvonne Strahovski. UR beautiful. I love The Predator 4 and Mass Effect 2, 3, Legendary Edition. U were amazing. I love Miranda, she's badass and beautiful. Love u Miranda, ur beautiful. May the Peace be with u Miranda Lawson. From Harlingen Texas. July 30, 1982 July 30, 2022 through July 30, 3022
Did Yvonne get dropped off at this show as some sort of community service? I can't remember the last time I watched a "professional" television interview where everyone was holding microphones.
For an Aussie that grew up in Australia, she’s lost her accent pretty fucking quickly. I lived in the US for many years. Whilst I couldn’t help picking up a couple of Americanisms, people always knew straight away I was a foreigner.
Her job is speaking with an american accent, so it makes sense. And secondly, both her parents speak with a heavy polish accent, so I assume her australian accent wasn't that heavy to begin with.
As a general rule, it doesn’t matter what the parents accent is, wherever the child grows up, they pick up their peers accents within a very short period of time. I’ve witnessed this many times. Also, a job doesn’t usually make a difference. Look at Gerard Butler, Anthony Hopkins, Adrian Brody, Nicola Kidman, Ewan McGregor, Russell Crowe, Christoph Waltz, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Idris Elba, Daniel Craig, Jude Law, Helen Mirren...the list is endless. They still have their original accents. There are exceptions to the rule, I guess she’s one of them.
@@OzzieOzzieOzzieOyOyOy you put it perfectly. Totally agree. Of course doesn't matter how your parents speak! By the way, she once said that back home they were speaking only Polish and emailing in Polish, so her native Australian accent comes from her growing up there. One of the exception who can change her accent at will is the English Millie Bobby Brown. But well, she is much younger and also very talented.
...and I don't think Serena's character is a sociopath. She is a complicated character that is going through her own arc, her own remorse, anger, and feelings that she can't come to terms with. Sociopaths don't do that.
Just found this interview July 2018. Now into the second season, what’s everyone’s thoughts on Serena? For about 2 episodes i felt for her just the tiniest bit. Now?!? Absolutely not!
She's is such a great actress! Just when you think she's going to redeem herself she flips on you. Her character is such a delusional sociopathic horror of a human being.
you know, there have always been conservatives and liberals. There have always been disagreements in society and politics. That balance is what helps us function. To suggest that the "far right" want to create a society like "Gilead" is offensive. Conservative does not equal evil. Nor does liberal equal evil. Evil equals evil. No matter what your political or sociological beliefs, nothing makes one evil except evil choices.
I actually saw her on an episode of the Tremors show. She got eaten by a graboid. Her legs were kicking from its mouth and she screamed out "Help me please!" before it swallowed her lol!!!
Her character is not a "bad guy" she is a desperate woman willing to do and sacrifice anything for what she wants. At least that's what I took away from it. I thought she wore this role well and it was awesome to see her do something like this.
Morgan King the beautiful thing that Yvonne brought to this role is that we were able to see just how trapped both women are. Especially come season 2, with Marissa Tomei’s cameo. I’m so proud of this lady, proud to have her as part of my home country.
Although to me, it’s not about what she wants... but fear of ending up lower down - fear that if she isn’t complicit, then who knows what will become of her?
lorfalconswan True. But there are some moments/scenes of the series cause me to see that there is some good in her. She does love Nicole. And is willing to let June hold the baby and even run away. She stood up as sort of resistance which cause her finger to be cut off.
Islam is the only culture in the world that resembles that depicted in The Handmaid's Tale. The claim that the US would in any way go the direction suggested by the novel - and now TV series - is not merely a lie but a blood libel, a lie intended to do harm.
She's so perfect except her accent is almost completely gone. F***ing America. Edit: Since this video, I've noticed when she spends any time down under, her accent strongly wavers back to full Aussie like a beautiful boomerang.
ourcorrect opinions I have just noticed that Yvonne's accent is almost completely American. That is must be what happens when you live in America for so many years.
Unless she moved here as a child, one doesn't really pick up an accent THAT strongly just by moving to a new country. I can't help but wonder if she's "trying" to adopt the American accent.
Love her, he is horrible. This book and series was written way before Trump and the current SOCIALIST PARTY that used to be the Democrat Party. Actually the current socialist party is way closer to Gilead and this story than Trump and the Republican. She handled the situation.
I'm so happy that no matter what any of our political beliefs, we can all agree that this interviewer is an ass. Way to stick together everyone!! Loves you!
I haven't read the novel..But have seen the movie with Faye Dunnaway and Robert Duvall and it was an uncomfortable movie to watch. I also seen the 1st season and it is still disturbing to watch but I can see the more of why.

The Handmaid's Tale is one of the most interesting, bizarre shows I've ever seen. Highly recommend.
"bizzare"... it had already happened ( 80 years ago - europe - and it was much worse than that )
and it can happen again , if we won't be careful.
wake up guys, it's much closer to us than we think.
It happened?? Tel us more
mauveau check Wikipedia maybe
Right after Mr Robot and Stranger Things :D
Legion
This is the most incredible handmaid's tale interview I've seen by any cast member. She is incredibly articulate and brilliant. 👏👏👏
Her character is interesting. She can be cruel and mean but makes you feel sympathetic towards her. You also get a vague feeling that the only reason she is like this is because of the situation she is in. There are moments I think that she can be kind and I think that she was a very nice person before the whole handmaids movement. But I hate her after that last episode and I don't think I could ever like her again. Great acting! 👌🏻
She was the main instigator of Gilead, more so than her Husband. Nice is not a word i would associate with Serena she is vile
Its more like she is awful most of the time bit every now and then she will do something kind you get whiplash. Its like switching a switch.
She (Serena) was an intellectual who worked with her husband in the same organization. They got more and more radical (as often happens with fundamentalist people of the left or right alike) in their views, and she (according to her own words in the last episode) herself wrote the rules for this new dystopic society.

For a woman of her status, the way to make it in Gilead is to have a baby, exert control over other women, and try to get your husband to make changes, because you yourself have no power to do anything.
Her smile melts me
Yvonne is always fascinating. She's very sharp. And very interesting in her process of understanding and presenting characters.
She is just classically beautiful.
Beautiful with such natural elegance and appearance. Natural beauty!
she is absolutely adorable!
What a jerk. He's there to talk about the show, not grill her about politics. She handled it so well.
Tonya Stumphauzer No, I disagree. His political questions were relevant and appropriate. I'm glad he asked her all these "deep" questions.
Seriously? You used quotations because you know his questions aren't deep. I'm tired of every nook and cranny of the media bringing up Trump for their gain. If he really wanted to deeply discuss politics maybe he shouldn't be interviewing TV actresses....

She was NOT pleased by the rewind comment on the ceremony scene

Dana B This clown makes an ass out himself in every interview he does. Can’t stand him.
At one point I noticed her eyes widen a bit while he was talking as if she were thinking "wow, really?"
Ikr 😑
Her character is so much like Cersei Lannister
If they ever made a film about Grace Kelly ... cast Yvonne Strahovski as Gracie! She'd do great I think!
They did already. It starred Nicole Kidman. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
I know! It was not very good... but Yvonne would be awesome .... The film should focus on Kelly's early years in Hollywood rather than being a Princess
Honestly speaking, Yvonne would be great in any role. Including Kelly before being a Princess. She has all the acting means necessary.
"someone who is so far on the right" god why did he keep pushing to make this political? She was making such great points.
I really enjoyed this because when I watch the show I can feel nothing but complete and utter hate for the character of Serena. My blood boils every time she comes on screen. But Yvonne brought a very interesting aspect of humanity to all of it and gave her character so much more depth for me in opening a dialogue of sympathy toward a woman who is in some senses a victim as much as any of the handmaids. While that does not justify Serena’s behavior, it explains it. I think it was brilliant of this woman to find such a deep meaning in her character and it translates on screen.
Did anyone catch when she said reed morano directed the first 3 episodes and he said "he's great" then yovonnes like " she's an amazing director."
I don’t know, it was pretty impossible to detect if he said or she so I would refrain from commenting on that. It was very quick and kind of muffled. But he was a pretty terrible interviewer.
She is beyond awesome
Her performance on the first season was simply spectacular.
I remember her portraying sexual attractiveness to spare on Dexter and now she plays a character that is, in a lot of ways, the opposite of that. That shows what a great actress Yvonne Strahovski is.
The whole tv series was amazing.
Looking forward to the second season.
1:05 I love that reaction. Shows she doesn't want to get involved with publicly advertising her politics. Class act!
She hates trump but your boner will get over it.

Yvonne Strahovski is so stunning and beautiful. Didn't know she was Australian. She's starting to sound more American here.
with Polish roots- her parents are Polish, but they've moved to Australia short before she was born
It's weird because you can tell so easily that her Australian accent is almost gone. That American accent is starting to sneak through.
Noticed that too
I feel like she puts it on for American tv. When she did an interview on Australian tv fairly recently, her Australian accent is pretty strong still.
What is worth noticing- English is not her first language. It may make it both easier and harder to learn different accents. Essential for an actress.
Watch her tomorrow war interview.
I loved the part where he said how much fun it is to chew on a sociopath.. Explains his political bullying. Classy and very talented actress.
She might not relate to the character she plays but she plays the hell out of that character nonetheless! She helps make the show as good as it is.
I would honestly hate to talk to this guy. He comes off very annoying
Right?
I have to disagree. I don't like American interviewers generally as they tend not to be very clued up and constantly interrupt their guests. However, I think this guy really, really knows his stuff, asks intelligent questions and gets fantastic interviews out of all of his guests.

Yvonne strahovski, the definition of out of everyone's league. I'm just glad I was able to romance her in mass effect 2.
My husband -- who has zero interest in the show -- couldn't take his eyes off Yvonne during this interview. She's gorgeous & articulate.
I'm trying to analyze and diagnose Serena, because I too, want to know why people/characters behave the way they do.
That guy is so weird, talking about rewinding to see a sex scene with Offred and Serena's husband.
Gabriel Jager-Sumner it was uncomfortable
What !!! He didn't even watch the show before the interview ..... what an idiot
As much as agree the way it came off was creepy I think what he meant was because she said “we all have sex together” and he was saying saying wait... that didn’t happen because it didn’t happen as Serena isn’t sexually involved in that scene. But yes he’s a creepy and horrible interviewer!
Stop cutting her off!!
It's his habit.
The Ann Dowd Build interview is also fascinating. Great to hear about how they humanized these more villainous characters.
This is a great fucking interview. I appreciate the scope and depth of questions he asked her. We need more of this, especially with female actresses.
She's so lovely and seems so well adjusted.
Jeez... she’s amazing
She is forming a very complex and contradictive character as Serena Joy. A very talented and wonderful actor!
Love Yvonne as Serena Joy.
Emmy snubbed her hard.
Now that I think of it, she might be a good pick for the role of Diana in The Crown. She's got the looks (she's tall too) and I'm pretty sure the talent as well. Of course the accent's different but that wouldn't be a problem I guess...
I love how everything is saying “wow the book predicted modern day America” but all this shits already happening in Saudi Arabia
Sophie HM yeah to americans everything is about America. I'm not american nor do I live there but it is very amusing to see online how they actually think this is where the US is heading. Pure fucking paranoia and hysterics.
Not exactly happening in Saudi Arabia but yeah maybe some part of it
Women are allowed to read and be educated and they can work too
Some jobs are not allowed
Men can have a second wife by her own will if his first wife can’t carry a child and its not rape and the baby is the second wife’s baby no giving babys there
But of course regarding the physical punishment its there but not also hitting the wife with a belt😥
+Sophie HM Saudi Arabia has lots of problems but you sound like an idiot as you're clearly not aware that Saudi women are highly educated.
So, not quite.
zammmerjammer I never said they weren’t educated 😂 I wrote a whole feature article called “Yes, you should be afraid of the Handmaids Tale” and it was all about drawing points of similarity between Gilead and Saudi Arabia. Things such as female genita mutilation, stoning for rape and adultery, forced relations, the male guardianship system (which applies to both the commanders wives and handmaids)
"all this shits already happening in Saudi Arabia" -- except it isn't.
She's an amazing actress. She makes hate Serena so much ! But seeing her interviews make me love her personality. It's kind of confusing 😆
I hope the Handmaid's Tale can serve as a wake up call for Americans! Also do not forget Margaret Atwood is Canadian! As a Canadian I am very amused by the portrayal of Canada in the series; very utopic! We are not THAT great but we are pretty great. :)
Well, compared to Gilead, I can see how Canada is utopia.

It's a 'oh dear, how exactly do I answer this' kind of nervous laugh because she's speaking in front of an audio doing a promo interview. Fast forward 15 months to now & the comparisons have been drawn far more frequently, the conversation is there; but even still, passing comment on the political system - especially if you're not a citizen and can't vote (idk if she is... You can be a permanent resident but not a citizen) is different than if you *are* an American.
He also showed he had no clue here by passing comment himself on Australian politics - which is fine if they're into a discussion, or it's been agreed as a talking point, but he really came across as tone deaf the way he did it. Also, in Australia, everyone legally must vote, so I'd hazard a guess that she skipped over that question and *really* didn't want to go political rather than she had absolutely nothing to say. It doesn't sound like any of this was prepared, or questions agreed upon. He did the same laughing and saying he 'doesn't know' "SEGA" (in the UK, we said 'say-ga') when he laughed at her for saying that and she gave examples of other words that are said differently... just came across as a poor interviewer, with no idea a world exists beyond the US.
Ash also shes a white woman. Her take on certain freedoms will always be a bit off... I don't say this to be controversial, i say this to point out the fact that people of privilege always see the idea of oppression as something they can seperate from whereas an Original australian descendent, i.e. the more disenfranchised of Australia have a completely different take on the political climate and certain aspects of the democracy.... remember there was a period in time where the original people of Australia were invaded and had their children taken away strippes of their language and had their women sexually assaulted and displaced into the lowest positions of white society...
When she says “Offred”, i somehow was convinced she was serena joy again for a split second..weird o.O
As a fan of yours I appreciate your craft. You rock.
Serena joy is a very interesting character... shes mean but can be very sweet when she wants to.
Ask one question at a time, and you'll get even more authenticity. Compound questions are harder to answer especially when the interviewer cuts her off mid-sentence.
I should have watched her give an interview like this about the show when I first started watching because if you're not careful you can really start to hate her. She is so lovely and such a wonderful actress. I am so glad she doesn't relate to Serena joy at all lol
wonderful actress...another Aussie doing great work in American films

why is he screaming?
Miranda Lawson
I'ma grown man and I always was indifferent towards feminism. After watching this I feel like I'm becoming a feminist. I know the show is extreme but it's seeing the extremes that keep you fighting against them. America is nothing like Gilead but the creepiness of the show comes from the conversion of America into Gilead. It really is a slow incremental breakdown of democracy until eventually you're in Gilead before you know it. And it usually starts with the ray Moore's and Donald Trump's of the world.
So you'd be happy with aligning yourself with a man hating movement which seeks to demonize women into pathetic helpless victims and blame men for literally everything
andr andr no one said to kill Christianity fuck tard. You can be Christian and still respect everyone.
It is I, Your Cis White Male feminism is equality for the sexes. Nothing more, nothing less.
Actually it's called being equal, and I don't need a group to complain about someone making sexist comments to me. I have both guys and gals who are assholes and say the same thing. I can handle it myself. I don't need a group pushing for more jobs in computers simply because most women don't want to work on/build tech (the ones that do always get hired fast though). I just want to be equal and be able to cut the pink tax. That's it. No one needs to stand up for me unless I ask.
Furk tard? Really? So, you're one of those pathetic flag waving, bible thumping trump voters.
My fave since she was on Chuck and Dexter too. ❤️ She's so awesome.
What an incredible horrible interviewer.
She's so intelligent
Happy Birthday Yvonne Strahovski. UR beautiful. I love The Predator 4 and Mass Effect 2, 3, Legendary Edition. U were amazing. I love Miranda, she's badass and beautiful. Love u Miranda, ur beautiful. May the Peace be with u Miranda Lawson. From Harlingen Texas. July 30, 1982
July 30, 2022 through July 30, 3022
Did Yvonne get dropped off at this show as some sort of community service? I can't remember the last time I watched a "professional" television interview where everyone was holding microphones.
She feels like she's playing one of the bad guys....She is THE bad guy. XD
6:51 to 6:59 awkward "No"
She's awesome!
Omg she was talking about working with reed Moreno and he goes "he's great" and she goes "she's great"
Omg fake asss
It's Miranda Lawson from the Mass Effect series!
Beautiful woman, love her as an actress, and I am a little in love with her. Wish her all the best going forward.
When she’s not acting, she glows.
For an Aussie that grew up in Australia, she’s lost her accent pretty fucking quickly. I lived in the US for many years. Whilst I couldn’t help picking up a couple of Americanisms, people always knew straight away I was a foreigner.
Her job is speaking with an american accent, so it makes sense. And secondly, both her parents speak with a heavy polish accent, so I assume her australian accent wasn't that heavy to begin with.
As a general rule, it doesn’t matter what the parents accent is, wherever the child grows up, they pick up their peers accents within a very short period of time. I’ve witnessed this many times. Also, a job doesn’t usually make a difference. Look at Gerard Butler, Anthony Hopkins, Adrian Brody, Nicola Kidman, Ewan McGregor, Russell Crowe, Christoph Waltz, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Idris Elba, Daniel Craig, Jude Law, Helen Mirren...the list is endless. They still have their original accents. There are exceptions to the rule, I guess she’s one of them.
@@OzzieOzzieOzzieOyOyOy you put it perfectly. Totally agree. Of course doesn't matter how your parents speak! By the way, she once said that back home they were speaking only Polish and emailing in Polish, so her native Australian accent comes from her growing up there.
One of the exception who can change her accent at will is the English Millie Bobby Brown. But well, she is much younger and also very talented.
...and I don't think Serena's character is a sociopath. She is a complicated character that is going through her own arc, her own remorse, anger, and feelings that she can't come to terms with. Sociopaths don't do that.
Just found this interview July 2018. Now into the second season, what’s everyone’s thoughts on Serena? For about 2 episodes i felt for her just the tiniest bit. Now?!? Absolutely not!
She's so graceful! Love her!
When you realize she also played Sarah on "Chuck"
Why are they holding microphones? No overheads or do they just want to promote "Build"? The logo is on screen.
This dude is frustrating.
2:20 -- One of the challenges of great art. Sometimes you have to go to dark places that are very uncomfortable.
haaa mike pences dream america .accurate intrepation xD
Also whats happening in every majority Islamic country atm.
Yes! Creepy stuff.
Stop writing such utter drivel.
This is a channel I'll never come back to.
I needed IMDb to explain she was in Chuck. I kept wondering where I knew her from.
She had changed a lot. Hasn't she?
First role-playing that I saw of her was on a action-comedy- spying tvshow thats called CHUCK as Sarah ..That was a different role from Serena
Much much different role and the only role I like her in.
Miranda Lawson 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
She's is such a great actress! Just when you think she's going to redeem herself she flips on you. Her character is such a delusional sociopathic horror of a human being.
Can someone give me a short summary of what this show is about?
i love her accent
I love this guy. He usually knows so much about movie-making and story-telling and is a total film-geek
Is this about The Handmaiden’s Tale or politics?
you know, there have always been conservatives and liberals. There have always been disagreements in society and politics. That balance is what helps us function. To suggest that the "far right" want to create a society like "Gilead" is offensive. Conservative does not equal evil. Nor does liberal equal evil. Evil equals evil. No matter what your political or sociological beliefs, nothing makes one evil except evil choices.
I wish they said her name aloud at the beginning. I think she’s such a great actor, but I don’t know how to pronounce her name.
Watched her since chuck
I actually saw her on an episode of the Tremors show. She got eaten by a graboid. Her legs were kicking from its mouth and she screamed out "Help me please!" before it swallowed her lol!!!
... hilarious
Commenting here in July 2022 after Roe was overturned...little did they know.
I came to the comments to y’all shit about the host but y’all beat me to it LOL
Her character is not a "bad guy" she is a desperate woman willing to do and sacrifice anything for what she wants. At least that's what I took away from it. I thought she wore this role well and it was awesome to see her do something like this.
Morgan King the beautiful thing that Yvonne brought to this role is that we were able to see just how trapped both women are. Especially come season 2, with Marissa Tomei’s cameo. I’m so proud of this lady, proud to have her as part of my home country.
Although to me, it’s not about what she wants... but fear of ending up lower down - fear that if she isn’t complicit, then who knows what will become of her?
Her character held down June for a very forced rape in a bitter misguided revenge.
lorfalconswan True. But there are some moments/scenes of the series cause me to see that there is some good in her. She does love Nicole. And is willing to let June hold the baby and even run away. She stood up as sort of resistance which cause her finger to be cut off.
mass effect fans here tryna see the real life miranda?
"Commander, Don't Leave"

Islam is the only culture in the world that resembles that depicted in The Handmaid's Tale. The claim that the US would in any way go the direction suggested by the novel - and now TV series - is not merely a lie but a blood libel, a lie intended to do harm.
She's so perfect except her accent is almost completely gone. F***ing America. Edit: Since this video, I've noticed when she spends any time down under, her accent strongly wavers back to full Aussie like a beautiful boomerang.
ourcorrect opinions ?
ourcorrect opinions I have just noticed that Yvonne's accent is almost completely American. That is must be what happens when you live in America for so many years.
wow, she actually is loosing it, that's a little sad.
Unless she moved here as a child, one doesn't really pick up an accent THAT strongly just by moving to a new country. I can't help but wonder if she's "trying" to adopt the American accent.
Twelfth Lady
Love her, he is horrible. This book and series was written way before Trump and the current SOCIALIST PARTY that used to be the Democrat Party. Actually the current socialist party is way closer to Gilead and this story than Trump and the Republican. She handled the situation.
I'm so happy that no matter what any of our political beliefs, we can all agree that this interviewer is an ass. Way to stick together everyone!! Loves you!
i love miranda lawson
yvonne is a bloody icon
I'm so glad she survived the mission on the Collector base. Why did she dye her hair blonde though?
Gorgeous!!
I haven't read the novel..But have seen the movie with Faye Dunnaway and Robert Duvall and it was an uncomfortable movie to watch. I also seen the 1st season and it is still disturbing to watch but I can see the more of why.
Why would he even say “rewind” 😑
