This is amazing. I'm so conflicted by the fact that I love Serena but the things she did are so despicable. Great analyse its always a joy to see your videos
I pray to God you keep doing and enjoying what you do. Because you, my dear, have a gift. I really don't have the words to describe the raw emotion that this video creates... truly astonishing.
And since I can't sleep because there was nearly a coup d'etats in the US today, I watched this. Again. It's so gorgeous. I can feel all the love and emotion you poured into this beautiful piece of art. Thank you and thank you for loving Serena's character.
Would you consider doing this style of video for the other characters? It would be very interesting with someone like June, Emily, Fred, or Aunt Lydia. With the Bible verses at each intersection. Serena definitely gives you the most to work with. Great video.
Anyone who dismisses Serena Joy with "I hate her" or "She's a #*#" needs to watch this. She's neither saint nor sinner, she is a complex, complicated character capable of both depravity as well as deep caring. She was both an orchestrator of her world as well as a pawn in its game. If you get a show with a character like this, you're lucky. But consider that we also have the character of Aunt Lydia, June, and Emily. THT is an embarrassment of riches.
This is just unbelievable, the amount of time it must have taken you to give us such a beautiful masterpiece. I can see your love for her character, it’s mesmerizing and admirable
I had to stop watching halfway through to thank you for this amazing piece of art! You managed to capture so many of the nuances and layers of the most complex character I've ever seen portrayed. You managed to find every second of violence, every moment of vulnerability, every kindness. I am deeply grateful.
i never comment on youtube videos, but this is absolutely amazing. Serena is, in my opinion, the most compelling and complex character in the show. you conveyed everything i love about her, even the ugly and messy sides, beautifully. i don’t know if anyone else has brought this up, but she reminds me so much of Regina Mills, and her relationship with June mirrors Swan Queen quite eerily. thank you for this video! i appreciate all the hard work and time you have put into it! ❤️
Great editing, congratulations, dunno how many times i’ ve seen this vid. The pace, the music, really great choices, in 11 minutes i can understand the complexity of this really great character, one of the greatest on tv series due to its contradictions between good & evil, & great great masterpiece interpretation by Yvonne Strahovski. The chemistry w Elisabeth Moss is unbelievable, i just hope that she can be redeemed through the series end. Hope the writters can find a way, even if she needs to be in prison for several years & understand the atrocities that she did. At the end of the day, as u portrait in one of the scenes, she is trapped in a vicious circle and in a cage, and she doesn’t have the guts or the psychological tools to get out. She obviously feels emphaty for June as we can see through the series, so i dont think she is a real psychopath, she just doesn’t have yet the clarity to break her fate, hope she eventually does.
I saw the notification pop up just now, got excited and was gonna watch this right away while walking home from the subway, then the video opened and I saw the length, which hoLY CRAP 😱 I guess I should save the data and watch this with wifi then 😂
How the fuck was this over eleven minutes long, I swear to God it felt like 4, maybe 5 tops 😱 Loved how you had the Bible verses kind of as a heading for each of those different focuses. That was a really clever way to combine all of those smaller videos on the different aspects of her character into one bigger piece while also weaving the religious aspect behind her actions into the whole character study. The music also fit with that overall theme / style really well and worked amazingly by building up drama when needed, but also slowing down / stopping for some emotional punches. I can't even say what my favourite part was right now. I'd probably have to rewatch it a couple of times. The one that showed Serenas violent side was pretty intense and gave me goosebumps with all of her outbursed condensed into such a short amount of time (also Yvonne's acting, holy shit). The one where you studied her desperate longing for a child of her own was also really powerful to me, but maybe I'm biased, cause I feel for her despite everything she did. But yeah, all of it was just 👌👌👌 A+ content and I have a feeling I'll probably keep finding more details to love about this every time I rewatch it. 🙌
I'm glad to say i never felt bad for her this entire series. I didn't feel bad when she got her finger cut off because she helped to make that law. And i didn't feel bad when she thought she could run off to canada to be with that baby that was never her child. I never felt bad when she was beat she did so much worse. She deserves to be childless and to be put to an internity of suffering. She deserves nothing her character development is a spiral into how a false prophet can ruin lives and harm others. The actor who plays her though is fantastic for being able to make me feel this much hatred for a fictional character. Serena is wild and she will never be able to love. She's a monster.
THIS. THIS. THIS ladies and gentlemen. 11 minutes of this masterpiece??? how can I thank you enough????????????? as always your video BLEW ME THE FUCK AWAY!!!! no other video embodies serena Joy so well and MY GOD THE MUSIC, AAAghhhhh IT WAS SO AMAZING IT INTENSIFIED THE HEARTTHROB EVEN MORE 😭😭😭 PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING THIS WAS LIKE AN ENTIRE OPERA JEJRJKFJEIFJSJFWF I LOVE THIS TO DEATH
I can’t believe people think she is irredeemable. She is so clearly a victim of internalized misogyny. She is a PERFECT example of internalized misogyny and how it ruins both the woman’s life and any other women she projects onto. All the things she preached about “biological destiny” is the exact same shit that religion teaches womens and girls. Id love so much to see her heal from this and become a free liberated woman.
oh absolutely not. she wrote the rules that got people killed. Luke asked her kindly to help get his daughter back and she was a bitch to him. no sympathy.
@@chaosspy6723 and many other women who are victims of religious brainwashing go on to abuse other women, even their own children. She is a realistic portrayal of how those systems are used against women, eventually turning them against each other.
@@Bnazf in overall character development, absolutely. And that's what I hate about this show. Everyone else is so poorly developed. Emily and Moira for example. What's their driving factor? They're gay. They don't like Gilead because they're gay. That's it. The writers seem to think being gay is a personality. Now Serena? What's her motivation? She wants a baby. So she supports gilead, but she's also an educated woman and a strong woman at that, who essentially brings on a regime that can get her what she wants, BUT there's consequences. The other thing is, she wouldn't have needed a handmaid for a baby had the supposed "good side" not shot her and rendered her sterile, giving her even more motivation to see the regime installed, not only as a way to get what she desires (the baby she wants, and the fertility crisis solved) but now as a punishment to those who took her ability to have her own child away-- and it all culminated in a loss of her own freedom. She actually has conflicts. Both she and Lydia have conflicts. Everyone else is like "I'm gay so gilead bad let's take it down and go to Canada woot" Serena and Lydia are the only reasons to watch this show.
@@squirleyspitmonkey3926 June has various motivations too, though. Hannah is her main focus but don't forget June was also raised by a pretty radical feminist so even without Hannah, she had a dormant rebellious streak. Not to mention June is starting to fight cruelty with cruelty (in Series 4).
@@squirleyspitmonkey3926 the Handmaid’s are stripped of their personality entirely, and must choose either: conform and become a slave, or become a monster and fight against Gilead no matter the cost. Janine is interesting as she almost likes Lydia and sometimes, would rather stay in Gilead and live her days out their instead of getting killed. Commander Lawrence is also interesting as he betrays the world he created and decides to use his power for good, although he never views himself as a hero.
How ironic that this woman’s life is bereft of serenity and of joy. Great character portrait. Thank you for posting.
This made me love her, hate her, pity her, fear her, all at once. Wow
11 minutes about serena joy???? oh my you outdid yourself! this so deserves to be called a masterpiece! what an amazing character study 💙
I hate her but love how she is played.
YVONNE STRAHOVSKI IS SO INSANELY TALENTED. I cannot believe she hasn't won any awards for playing Serena Joy ...
Every once in a while i come back to this video and every time it takes my breath away. This is ASTONISHING
It's such pieces of art that will always keep my love for Serena alive, regardless of what the writers do with her writing♥️🙄
This is amazing. I'm so conflicted by the fact that I love Serena but the things she did are so despicable.
Great analyse its always a joy to see your videos
Her acting is beyond realistic. Shes incredible.
Person : what would you do if you had 11 minutes left to live ?
Me : *shows this video*

Spoiler
I’m so glad she’s free from Fred!!!!!! can’t wait to see how she’ll move on next season
This is a good video highlighting the complexities of Serena Joy. Would you make a similar one about Commander Fred please? He is just as complex.

Bnaz Such s thoughtful comment only for that reply
Jada Hoizer idk what else to say, I made the video to express my own thoughts and feelings on this character, that’s all I got
Bnaz 🤷🏼 it is what it is
Jada Hoizer pretty much
I am stunned
The mother wound. The deepest wound.

What episode and season is at 3:35
Extremely well done.
I love watching the difference between Serena Joy and Yvonne Strahovski.
