    Tom Hollander was brilliant! I felt a sense of sadness about Truman’s life.

    Some are saying this series doesn’t show how funny, engaging, smart, and so much more of Truman. Had the series focused in his younger years, it would be shown. But we still get Truman’s humorous nature & how smart he is, and how much losing his friends meant. Yes, it was sad he never got to talk to Babe again, but that speaks to the deep, deep hurt he caused. As to exactly why he did that, we may never know. This was a Good series!! Great acting.

    I really loved the series. I loved learning of this time in high society among these women in NYC. I loved watching the relationship between him and Babe. The humor was funny and scathing !The scenes with Lee Radziwill were interesting ! I didn't know she dated Onassis first. So it makes sense how her relationship with her sister would be challenging. I wish the series would have been longer and would have focused on Truman and the swans when they were younger in the peak of their popularity. There were a certain amount of truisms, food for thought offered in the series. Really looked forward to viewing each week.

    Capote's story is appealing as no matter his brilliance, he was marginalized and could not rise above his status and insecurities. He self sabotaged himself.

  • @georgetteconstant9050

    I got the impression that the "fictional man" meeting with the swans and helping them to fulfill things (killing bad husband, letting go of anger, getting back too the wild side youth etc;) was the fictional part of Answered Prayers that he told Jack he was writing, when he had the pasta dinner with him and his friend. Hard to tell. I didn't;t enjoy the last episode that much. I watched it again, and picked up more I guess, but think the next to the last one, with scenes of Babe and Truman at the end of their lives (and their daydreams) was like the real last episode for me. oh! And you are right. Would have liked to seen a mature version of Kate Harrington.

  • @Richard-dw4qo
    @Richard-dw4qo 3 місяці тому +6

    Hated the last episode. There was no need for any of it. Truman was a narcissist and what he did to his so called friends and the betrayal are absolutely inexcusable. What I find most disturbing is that he thought that they would just welcome him back with open arms. Typical narcissist thinking they can get away with anything. He may have been brilliant but he was totally screwed up.

  • @magzdilluh

    What's wild is that I love the book Even Cowgirls Get The Blues by Tom Robbins and in the book, one of the characters makes an especially angry, vitriolic reference to Capote, calling him "bitchy" and when I first read the book, I didn't understand why. Now I kind of do!

      Allegedly. The show goes to great lengths to try make Capote a sympathetic character. To the point of inserting dream sequences of James Baldwin when those two were actually at odds. Or falsely accusing Slim of cheating with Babes husband to make her the real villain. Or omitting the overwhelming evidence that there WAS an intruder in Anne Haywards home that night and Truman was capitalising on misogyny and a traumatic event for a hook in his book.

    Since the swans remind me of The Real Housewives of New York and Beverly Hills, I’m surprised that they were surprised at society in 2016- I mean if their ghosts can attend an auction, can’t they keep up with Andy Cohen produced Bravo reality shows?

    I don't know how the book goes, but I wish there was a fair amount of screen time between Truman and the Swans. It was obvious that Ryan was absent from this project (for worse), as there was not enough camp and drama coming from the Swans. Still a good (but shockingly sad) season.

  • @abbynormal7538
    @abbynormal7538 3 місяці тому +3

    Ryan Murphy has a habit of taking liberties with reality and pushing the "gay" envelope. This Feud, to me, seems more of a cautionary tale of friendship and betrayal and consequences. The acting, dialogue & design details were top shelf. Episode 7 hit hard by making death look so beautiful. Still makes you wonder what "Answered Prayers" would have been & who owns Joanne Carson's half of Truman's ashes.

    This was entertaining from start to finish. I would think that no one thought or expected it be absolute truth. Besides the ensemble of amazing actors, the set and costume
    detail, and the camera work were also fantastic. For the sake of the show, the script, the audience, Murphy wasn’t more involved. IMO Nip/Tuck well written until the last season. American Horror Story was captivating but congested to start and only became more contrived as it went on, even without Murphy as a writer. Having said that, each season had a side storyline, character or performance that was worth watching. It seems to me that the more successful and in demand he became the weaker his projects became. Though he only directed the fired episode of the Versace Crime Story series, having lived in Miami Beach during the time, the series was done with an attention to detail that was spot on. The original Feud series also had several scenes and storylines that were fabricated. I’m old enough to remember these ladies names often being mentioned in magazines and I thought it fun to see some of our favorite actors create a “version” of them.

    Torman capodi was a tragic figure.He was also a destructive one. Destructive , not only to himself because of his excessive drinking and drug use... But destructive to his friends. He encouraged these women to confide in him.Promising them, confidentiality and trust and in return.He kicked them all in the teeth. For fame and profit. I hope capodi is resting in peace... But I doubt it.

    These women thoroughly enjoyed the gossip that he brought to them about others. They knew he was indiscrete, but it was the publication and monetizing of their lives that traumatized them. He used them as they used him. Perhaps they felt they had paid him through lavish gifts, dinners and vacations. Evidently, he felt he was due more.

    Without a doubt, great casting and incredible acting. However, the inherent narcissism of the characters (even those fictionalized) makes me wonder why I (or we) glorify such personalities to such an extent that they feel compelled to make a mini-series about them. At least the way the characters in this production are portrayed, the only person with a shred of integrity was Jack Dunphy. Perhaps there are sides to Truman and the "swans" that couldn't be captured in 8 episodes, but I found myself cringing during each one and feeling relieved when it was over.

But didn't think it was as good as it could had been, but what do I know, it's Hollywood.
