Gah. This isn't how it's supposed to be. Offred was submissive, kept her eyes down. She wore almost a nun's habit of white "wings" on her head, and the red dress was almost bell-shaped. Serena Joy was curt with Offred, not her buddy. They didn't wear those veils, either.
I wish they'ed put her narrating over it .. shes so smart and they totally miss that out ... I don't like the film, I prefere the way I pictured it all in my head than seeing it on screen...
I remember that I was unable to ask my mother any of the questions which arose from watching what little of it that I could, surreptitiously. It is my first clear memory of having that stir of questioning pertaining to our faith. In fact, if anyone had even known that I'd made the transgression of exposing myself to the 'corrupting' influence of media, namely a fiction movie, (television, radio, movies dancing, singing ect. were all forbidden, regardless of how innocent the content).
