Yes, this version is low-budget and ends up a little camp. But there are some interesting things they're doing. The banality of the lydias looking and sounding like any conservative 80s housewife, the equipment, the casual Christian nationalism and speaking in cliches. The brilliance of the novel is keeping elements of everyday life, and this version does that a little bit.

For some reason the movie cuts back to that child like three or four times, giving the impression the kid was wandering around in the snow for days - which of course would never happen in a society that prized children like Gilead does. The child would have been grabbed when her parents were. It reminded me of the scenes in "Airplane!" where they kept cutting back to the guy in the cab waiting for his cabbie to return, unaware that the cabbie had hopped a plane and was long gone. At the end of the movie, the final shot is the guy still sitting in the cab, where he looks at his watch and says, "Well, I'll give him another 10 minutes - but that's it!"

True. After all, Jesus said “Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of Heaven but only he who does the will of my father who is in Heaven.” Overall, I have mixed feelings about THT. It’s makes for a fun what if story but it’s disheartening to see it becoming a feminist symbol nowadays and so many woke, progressivists (even those who call themselves Christians) who say this is mainstream Evangelicals vision of a better America. If you were born and raised with Baptists and Nazarenes like I was, you’d realize nothing could be further from the truth. A few random, nut job cults do not represent an entire denomination.

For those wondering about hymn they're singing, it is a version of "Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow" or the Doxology. The original lyrics, prior to heavy editing to fit Gilead's theology, are: "Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." The hymn tune is called "Old 100th", and the usual texts set to it include "All People That on Earth Do Dwell" (Psalm 100), "From All That Dwell Below the Skies" (Psalm 117), and "O Come, Loud Anthems Let Us Sing" (Psalm 95), and various Catholic hymns.

Moira was a member of the resistance and I believe her job was to penetrate the red centre to gain information as to the handmaid's training, how they're captured, treatment inside the red centre. Once she had found out what she needed to know, she escaped disguised as an 'Aunt'. We see Moira later in the film working in a club as a hostess where the men in government were known to go to unwind.

The handmaidens are considered morally trash but physically necessary as baby machines. Whereas Wives of high up commanders are considered morally upright but most seem to be barren. Also since Gilead was recently established, most of the influential men were already married when Gilead was founded. Their law only recognizes first marriages and do not allow divorce. This is also pretty much the same law that made Offred a Handmaid instead of an Econowife.

It seems like in the book and this film, the idea was that the Handmaids had to be rather attractive, white women. One point is just how limiting this would be for Gilead. The Hulu series makes Gilead much less racist and the Handmaids are much more diverse partially because that's the only way Gilead would be able to survive. It also goes to the idea that rape and abuse can happen to anyone, not just very pretty and desirable women.

Adult women there are not allowed to work, study or travel abroad without the written permission of their legal MALE guardian. Women are also not allowed to get divorced. If a woman doesn't get pregnant after the wedding, her husband can reject her and send her back to her parents. She's then shunned and won't be able to remarry because she's not a virgin anymore and also considered infertile (even when actually the husband is infertile).

I hate to even think this, let alone Say this: these ideas, brought into our minds in the late 80s, are a now fathomable thoughts/fears of us women living here...in 2022. I am fearful. As an American woman, my ideas of what "freedom" is...have drastically changed throughout my adulthood. I am 37. 20yearold 'me' would've never imagined 'this' having a chance at becoming our reality. It feels too 'possible', now, for me to rest well with this - as only a fictitious story. It's an idealization that is now seeping into our lives, and becoming too real for me to Fully understand. I. Am. Scared.

The fact that Corinne Foxworth went on to be Aunt Lydia is honestly so funny. It’s absolutely brilliant in so many ways, all of which were unintentional of course but which are still amazingly ironic. “I pretended my 4 kids didn’t exist and locked them in an attic for 3 years, so I could inherit my father’s fortune! Now I’m going to force a bunch of women to have kids against their will.”

in the book, while they don't show the nuns being herded into the bus, etc., as the movie did, the narrator makes a reference that "the older ones got shipped off to the Colonies, but the young fertile ones they try to convert, and when they do they're made into Handmaids..." (or something to that effect, I may not be quoting verbatim but that's the gist)

I suspect they used the bastinado (or something similar). It’s a punishment traditionally used in harem cultures. The ladies of the harem were valued for their beauty, so it was forbidden to strike them, flog them, cut or mutilate them. Instead they were bound and the eunuch or whoever was in charge of the punishment used a cane or switch on their bare feet soles. It’s extremely painful-lots of sensitive nerve endings in the feet-and the woman’s beauty and fitness is unspoiled. The goal was to inflict pain and suffering without leaving permanent wounds, scars or other damage.
