ABOUT THE HANDMAID'S TALE
Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander’s household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids - where anyone could be a spy for Gilead - all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.

The Handmaid's Tale: The Big Moment: Episode 1 - “Offred” | Hulu
• The Handmaid's Tale: T...
Saddest thing about this scene is in later episodes it showed Fred and Serena really loved each and seemed very happily married before all this
Serena seemed to wear the pants before Gilead. She was bossing Fred around
saddest is an interesting word to use here
@@anonymousdontbotheraboutit2895 I am not sure.The handmaid before June killed herself.They never said anything about her but I think Fred put the moves on her too
@@3piper on one episode Serena say same things too. Fred have an obsession with June.
@@3piper in the books, its revealed that June is not the first handmaid that he tried to have a relationship with. Fred just likes taking advantage of the handmaids as he has power over them
I remember Serena Joy, interesting character. She was one of the woman who fought for the new ways and regretted it
I wonder if she thought she was a fertile wife when she helped to instate the regime, and only found out after the fact that the cute Handmaid idea that she helped craft was going to be used on...her. Haha. What you do unto others...often eventually ends up being done to you.
Speaking of "What you do under others"--odd, I seem to recall reading a passage in a book that gave the exact same warning to readers. /s :P
@@emilythompson1746 in the show, she was shot in her stomach and therefor couldn't have children
Thought not fought
@@woordenhechtster apparently not. The writers clarified that it wasn't the reason why she was infertile, and even regretted making the choice of having her shot in the stomach.
I can't even imagine how awkward all the "Ceremony" scenes must be for them to film =/ Lol
Coming back to this after watching Season 4 and knowing Ceremony Night happens 3 nights in a row....just....*shudders*
I didn't catch on to that the first time I watched the seasons. Just finishing them for a 2nd time and I just recently learned this (what you said)! That's horrible!
This isn't all that different from how female slaves were treated in the past. except it was done secretly and the wives of the slave owners didn't acknowledge it and didn't want the children who were products of it.
Lindsay K and thank fuck we have made great progress since then
Apparently the blacks in this story forgot the past....
Actually this is happening today. Nevermind the barbery slave trade. This happens on a wide scale in the middle east, perticularaly (a lot of the religious inspiration was islam)
Lindsay K hjdj
Atwood took her books retoric from actual events and practices. That's why it's so disturbing and unnevring.
Do not fool yourselves. There are those masquerading as religious pious that would be more than happy to do much of what is portrayed. There are extremists of every "religion" and religion when organized can be used as a weapon, one of the most powerful ones we have ever known at that. People pick and choose what they wish to follow or at least what they wish to push upon others. We have all seen it. Be wary of people who always use their "faith" as an excuse for wrongs and hate and belittling others. If you go to a church or mosque or temple and they always spread hate and fear you may want to find a new group or worship yourself. Also you are to love everyone not just those who see things your way. So if you feel differently and are not hurting anyone that is also great imo
It´s all superstition, Muslim, Christian, whatever .....
Christ is Lord.@@dmcalut
Wow someone’s easily suggestible
Couldn't have said it better.
@katelynholmes9504 Wow, another genius who doesn't like what they read but doesn't have the brains to think up an actual counter argument.
I'm so excited that she's playing Serena! She was amazing in Dexter! I'm inlove with her voice!
i luv Margaret 'Peggy' Atwood and her short stories, one episode was all i could handle
I watched Handmaid's Tale Season 1. It was an amazing show. And Elisabeth's performance was awesome.
I've watched first 7 episodes of the series. I've enjoyed it. We also live these scenes in Middle East. Maybe not exactly same but similar.
turk musun? benzer derken anlamadim da merak ettim biraz aciklar misin?
@@mehlika6408 she meant that the Handmaid's Tale is a reality for some women. Not everywhere around the world women are not recognised as an individual. They are treated like objects, property of a man in some places. They literally have to get the government mandatory permission of the man of their house to go out of the house and study.
Does Serena never think that her cigarette smoking is part of why she's infertile?
Emily Thompson it's implied that the Commander is sterile. but under the laws of the new regime only women can be infertile.
Hmm. I'm not a big fan of either/or answers. My thoughts on theories of causation is that causation is a complex thing. It could be that you're right. It could also be that *both* the Commander and his wife (I love how she doesn't have a title, she's just "the wife", like an appendage) are infertile. Of course, this whole series, for the purposes of moving the plot forward, doesn't really get into how complicated infertility can be, which, I guess, is fair.
In the book infertility is a widespread result of nuclear warfare. Smoking probably wouldn't help, but as it's implied the commander is sterile... what does it matter?
That's an excellent point. I just found that the smoking went along with the Wife's casual contempt for the Handmaid. And I thought, if the Wife didn't smoke, maybe she wouldn't *need* the Handmaid?
In the last episode, it seems like she and her husband (going the other way around!) really seemed to try for a baby, and also most births resulted in stillbirths oder the babies died shortly after. The have the lovely name of shredder in the books. I think that Serena had been insterile before and she only picked up smoking quite recently to get rid off her frustrations, stress etc.
Such an important series.
Really ????
This is my favorite new song. I didn't see a show that good in a long time.
alexandre martin name of the song?
@@nazarenomaganhuntter7310 I think it was a typo, auto correct or just typing to fast with no proof read, I do it all the time....I think they meant to say new favorite SHOW, lol
This is the best “Must see” movie I have seen in so long. Well done
Heather Annand this is the series. The movie came out in the 90’s
Just read this book for my english class over the summer and I must say it is extremely fucked up i can't wait to watch it
As a Christian, let's make one thing clear. The characters in the show are using the parts of the Bible that they want to use in order to justify their own behavior.
For example; the scene where the two woman are found guilty of having a relationship, the men use a verse from Romans to justify hanging one of them.
However, in the book of John, when the Jews found a woman committing adultery...they asked Jesus if they should stone her to death like the Bible says to do so in Deuteronomy. Jesus looked at all of them and said, "Let he who has never sinned throw the first stone."
You have to accept the Bible for its entirety or none of it all. Picking and choosing what you want to follow, like the culture in the show, goes against the religion.
fish4aking preach 🙌
Like people do in reality
1: the Bible was written centuries after the death of Jesus...so it's not reliable.
2. it's a fictional tv show...why bother making this a big deal
If you take the bible in it's entirety, then you are condoning behavior like this. The bible tells women to be slaves to their husbands, marry their rapists, have sex with him whenever he says. The bible is an awful book about a petty malovent god. I grew up with it. You don't need this propaganda to be a good person.
You mean like the Christians today cherry picking parts of the bible about LGBTQ? And about women being subservient? And marriage being only between one man and one woman? Like that? *eye*roll* Save your preaching there until all of you quoting that book written by men at different times learn it is NOT A WEAPON & YOU ARE NOT CHRIST.
So anyone else have a nightmare after watching this :'D
Nauseating stuff to fill anyone's mind with. Until people make different 'entertainment' choices I guess this kind of crap will continue. After seeing the trailer, I have seen enough. I asked myself.....Does this make me feel good? Does it add anything worthwhile to my life? As they say... you become what you think about... I choose not to fill my mind with this dehumanizing garbage...
Kathy King Kathy King this is a feminist novel turned into a television show. It's supposed to make you feel uneasy for a reason. Yes, it gave me bad thoughts but that's THE POINT. Holy shit, sorry but this show is great and really powerful, especially the novel. It's not garbage, go fill your mind with senseless feel good comedies that mean nothing.
The point is, imo, the more bad thoughts, the more bad stuff is created. We already know things are corrupt and women and minorities aren't treated well. Is this novel teaching anything new or useful about living for the benefit of all, solutions, education, changing our patriarchal and racist society?
Kathy King actually, quite the contrary. More good has come out of bad thoughts and events than anything. No one does anything when their content. It's when you're reminded of how horrible the world is, you finally get up and do something about it. Margaret Atwood made this novel using research she collected of actual horrible things women have gone through, people need to be reminded that things like this did happen, do happen and can happen any time in the future. You don't push bad thoughts under the rug because they make you uncomfortable,Happy thoughts aren't going to help anyone.
Christine Bell No. But idk, watching this movie always turns me on somehow.
i saw the first 3 episodes and i have to say its kinda like a fucked up version of 1984.
***** true
CJ THT is a cupcake to what 1984 is
I disagree. I think the handmaid's tale is equally fucked up like 1984 is
Miles LeBlanc Well 1984 just seems so more realistic to me. I just can see fundamentalist Christians taking over the US. However the surveillance in 1984 can be easily compared to today
yeah cause Margaret Atwood was inspired by 1984 when she wrote Handmaid's tale
Weird I heard this song on Young Sheldon in which something funny was happening while it played and then ended on a heartwarming note. Amazing how sinister it sounds here
Pisces name of the song?
@@nazarenomaganhuntter7310 Onward, Christian Soldiers. It's a common hymn in christian churches
And then in season 4 a young sheldon character actually appeared
Why exactly does the whole household need to be present for the ceremony? I never understood that. It’s supposed to be between Serena, offred, and the Commander kinda like a re-enactment of Rachel, Leah, and Hapah. Why do nick and Rita need to be involved?
sookeysookey1 To make it all the more a non-sexual experience?
but the entire purpose of it is to be sexual non-sexual. but the more i think about it, could it be because they need witnesses to the ceremony that it was performed the correct way, the same way you can only get married if you have witnesses sign off on it?
the way i understood it, was that the entire household is present for the initial part of the ceremony just up to the reading of the scripture. The copulation occurs in the master bedroom with the commander, his wife and their handmaid.
Only for the reading. The others aren't present in the actual act
Don't kink shame.
2021 started to rewatch. 😪
"Offred" could potentially be misheard as "of red" or "Oh, Fred".
has somebody already mentioned that the commander looks sooo much like adam lavine, like it's so distracting lol
He's friggin hot too right?
He's got moves like Jagger.
This was honestly so awful and hard to watch, I felt so angry, and hurt for both the women in the scene
That's some long ciggie lolz 🚬
Nick and the Martha don't stay in the room while this event is happening do they?
No, lol, it wouldn't surprise me tho....
Enraging. Speaking as a heterosexual white male, I can only describe the entire scene as enraging. Enraged that any group could feel so entitled as to force another to bear such horror. I'm about as far from a prude as you could imagine...but I must say I was not able to watch any of the three episodes from "start to finish" without stopping. As I refuse to be one of those people who yell at their TVs as though the characters can hear them, lol it was the only way. To be clear, I'm complimenting the film makers and the actors...I think they were all perfectly cast for their parts. Especially the "Aunt"...watching that smirk drip off her face onto the floor when the ACTUAL Biblical quote was read to her (perhaps realizing deep down she had doomed herself to burn in the same hell she outwardly portrayed as avoiding, etc.)
I have no idea how the series will go...I never read the book, but I understand there have already been a few deviations for extra plot paths...but I can only hope that one of these women gets to deliver a line on par with "LOOK ON MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR" as they hand-detonate a recovered B-61 nuclear warhead because frankly that would be the only thing that I would say passes for "justice" from this scene alone (and I didn't even mention the other horrible things...sorry for spoilers above, BTW, but I just had to express my thoughts somewhere!)
As a last thought...I would say that I can now understand why people in other situations around the World resort to terrorism when all else seems lost. Watching these smug "Giladeans" walk around...you can't help but smile at the thought of sucking *THEIR* sense of security out from underneath their cushy well-fed a$%es by randomly setting off explosives in places they feel safest.
i.e. -- Make them mentally and emotionally drained just as they've done to these slaves, etc.
I feel like sexuality was always meant to be a beautiful expression of love, or, at least, affection, between people. Adding a dynamic of power, where one party is forced, just sucks all the joy out of it, to me. Rape and child prostitution and forced marriage are terrible things in this world. If you have a tough time watching the scenes, please consider supporting a sex trafficking recovery non-profit.
I thought the sex scenes in this were on point. I was worried that there would be some attempt to make them sexy despite the very ...brutal subject matter. I thought that not because I didn't trust the filmmakers - I knew that Margaret Atwood was a consultant. I thought that because I'm just so used to scenes involving what can easily be classified as rape* being sexualised because womens' bodies and their sexuality are so frequently considered a commodity.
But in these scenes - *no one* is enjoying themselves but the Commander - who seems to be attempting to enjoy it as little as possible (or as little as is proper). Limited sympathy for him, though....it's hard to be sympathetic toward the characters with the most privilege and power over others.
* Offred in the book says that what is happening to her isn't rape because she had "options" (see: Cleaning up toxic waste). However, there's a very good argument to be made about the position of power being held over Offred's head in forcing her hand. If you're telling women that their options are to submit sexually or die - it hardly qualifies as consent. I feel like that's something we can all** agree on.
**I'm not delusional. I know that there are people who won't agree with this.
I agree that it's difficult to feel much sympathy for the Commander, given that the book tells us that he was one of the people who came up with this power dynamic in the first place. If he was just some power-less schmuck who had to go along with the system, it might be different.
I've pondered, for a long time, the potential differences between forced rape (for instance, rape-in-an-alley-by-a-stranger) and what some sociologists call "survival sex", such as really sad cases where young women in third-world countries are trading their bodies to UN Peacekeepers for jars of peanut butter, because they're malnourished.
I don't think that either form is right, or rises to the level of what sexuality is supposed to look like. I'd rather view consent as more of on a scale of 1 to 10, rather than as a binary construct, but I'm aware that this poses legal and law enforcement challenges.
I wouldn't hesitate to say that if the stakes are 'sex or we send you to clean up toxic waste until you die' that this is very much like 'sex or I stab you with this knife I have here'. Coercion where the failure to comply will 100% result in death is absolutely a consent violation, and therefore rape.
If I'm 18, and I sleep with a soldier because he has a jar of peanut butter, and I don't, though...I don't know, it's not right, but is it right to charge the soldier with rape, if he's under the impression that she's willing? I don't want to judge her choices and call her a prostitute, but stuff like that is just murky. As they say in law school, it's a thin, gray line, and we draw it as best we can.
As I wrote above...I just don't see how you could try and force a society like this into being and not expect an eventual rupture. This stuff of having everyone stare at each other...Handmaid's "self-policing" Handmaids (and we can only assume that somehow, somewhere everyone assumes they are being watched by someone regardless of their position, etc.) that eventually someone is going to get tired of living in perpetual fear *and* have the determination to do something about it.
i.e. -- Problem: You have all the guns, I have none. (BTW, I'm using "guns" as a short descriptor for power in general, etc.)
Consequence: You feel completely safe because you think I can't hurt you in return.
Solution: I have to hurt you in a different way that results in you feeling just as powerless as I do.
*NOW* just looking at the World around us today (places like Syria, etc.) it's perfectly obvious where this line of thinking takes us...I have to shatter your bubble of superiority by somehow making you feel just as vulnerable as I do regardless of how many guns and how much power you have. Point of fact, your "vaunted position" actually works for me as it amplifies anything I'm able to do. Meaning if you think you're "all powerful" and suddenly an explosion goes off in your local neighborhood cafe, without me having to take credit or in any way expose myself, I've just made you question everything you hold dear, etc.
OH, BTW "Emily Thompson" I followed your advice and did indeed make a donation to such an organisation. I don't know why I had to read it from someone else before thinking of it myself, lol.
Yay! I'm so glad that you took an action to help improve the world. :)
The actors are way more attractive than in the book. Atwood made everyone look mediocre. Well, actually the handmaid is sufficiently bland.
Hulu knew what they were doing
In the book the couple is much older with grey hair and all?
Soo in the book, the commander was not this young and hot! And Serena Joy was old and had arthritis. Offred had brown hair and eyes. Oh well, artistic lisence I guess.
To make this repulsive story more sexy and attractive to the public, I guess. As it is, we, the viewers can look on with scandalised "pleasure".
You change a story to be relevant to the time it is being told. And Yvonne as Serena is far more intimidating than an older woman would have been. There is NOTHING sexy about the handmaids tale.
They couldn't make serena and fred so cruel and horrible, and make the audience hate them so much, if they were old.
Personally I think the cast is perfect. All incredible actors who truly bring their characters to life and give them depth and dimension. The fact that they're good looking doesn't change anything. Nothing in this show is sexy or attractive, it's horrifying and depressing. As it should be.
Ah the ceremony!
Jhkbbvjbjnknk Knknoig
Ah, the rape scene!
i think not enough people realize this series is based off a book
stop arguing about religion
shit
Hm. Curious. It’s almost as if the book is attempting to make religion and society a major premise
But the books is literally based off of real life events which were all primarily sparked by religion...
How can you not discuss it?!
PEGGY
YES
Fast forward to season 2, episode 13. You’re welcome!! 😂
You guys take forever to make another fucking season why t he hell im i paying for hulu
Not much different at netflix
I like the handyman tale is a great show.😀
Both these comments are an absolute disaster lmao
TheLonelyOlive it's okay, made me chuckle whole-heartedly
Do you like the hand man tale show?

Alguien sabe cuándo es la tercera temporada?
they forget do say that Jacob, doesn't liked the way the Rachel said
well it's a crazy show too watch!!!!
If you read the book Serena was shot in her abdomen making her unable to have children .
Pence would love this.
Julie - Bill Clinton would love this.
Julie Ake really? Tell us how or you just spewing diarrhea of the mouth
He probably thinks it's an instructional video.
Nah, goes against his belief of traditional marriage.
Reminds me of the Duggars.
Waterbaby i know right
The name Of The Symphonny?
Its called Onward Christian Soldiers
What type of sick mind can come up with a story like this?
Based on real events.
Margaret Atwood.
@@eurech 😲
what year are you talking about? 1984?
This seems like it'll be better than that 13 reasons why show lol
Am I the only one saying run, scream, fight, do something!
They gouged Janine's eye out for talking back. What do you think they would do if Offred were to 'run, scream or fight"? In a totalitarian system there are two choices : obey the rules, or die.
I actually really dislike offred. Her selfish actions seem to hurt everyone BUT her! Yes, she’s been reprimanded before but not nearly to the same degree as the people she’s help endanger because of her actions. Of course the entire situation is jacked up but it’s like bruh, you ain’t the only who lost things as a result of this new society. You’re not the only one who lost family/children. You’re not the only one being abused by the commanders wife. You’re not the only one suffering. So quit acting like it c/ others are being brutalized because of you. In her pregnancy she’s untouchable so she says and does what she wants w/o considering how it will affect those around her. Then she cries when others get hurt. Same thing she did with Luke’s wife. I want to finish the story- however her Moss’ character portrayal is unnerving to watch, seriously.
The book is better
There are a number of countries in the Middle East in which women and others are assaulted in various ways, similar to this, with sanction of those in power. But "feminists" in this country, instead of speaking out for the rights of those under assault, prefer to act like this kind of thing's been happening in the USA (ridiculous - the USA has so many freedoms), so they have something to complain about, and completely ignore their sisters abroad who actually DO have their freedoms taken away (forced to wear burka etc against their will, not allowed to drive or go to school if young, etc etc etc.
Forget it Fred The Shed. Your a jaffa. As Delboy would say.
Is this on Netflix?...
ginna ricci nop
hulu
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh hell no.
At the end is she getting rapped???
yea.....she be sucking and spitting on some sick mix tapes as well
Yes
This whole show's messed up. In the book the Commander doesn't knock to come in, he just walks in. Also Serena Joy turns on the television and they watch the news.
Maggie S-G yup and that's why I don't think I'll be watching these series because I know what happens in the book.
What book did you read? “The Commander knocks at the door. The knock is prescribed ... he steps forward into the room anyway.” This part is taken directly from text.
Name of the song?
Onward Christian soldiers
Nick 😘😘😘😘
Its like annoying to see like the commandor raping a woman it hurts honestly and i mean most of the show its hard to see the scene and btw to the actor who plays the commandor why do u look like jared leto
No women beyond this line
Bollox.
Stop rewarding Scientologists.
This show has nothin to do with Scientology
Akbbba 1 yeah but this this a period piece that takes place in a time when Scientology was not around
Its like watching Teresa May's wet dream.
stretchchris1 No....sorry, sweetie. More like Mike Pence's. So many right wing snowflakes are intentionally misunderstanding this story.
Wew
Jim Caldera Nope. Just a sane person who read the book, unlike people like OP.
read it in a day or so on my kindle. very different to the show
stretchchris1 Yes, different, but still a Christian theocracy.
Jesus Christ is our lord and savior
there could not be a worse video to leave this comment on
This is absolutely hilarious. Who the fck thinks up this sh1t, LOL
Multiple scenes of rape, but to public outcry?
I saw a Justin Timberlake in her
Getty wap
Out of all the possible dystopian societies, this one is the least likely. Heck, it makes planet of the apes seem feasible.
Door Knob
If certain senators of ours had their way, or even our VP, it's actually is rather likely lol. They'd love to run the country like a fundamentalist regime, with women entirely subservient and controlled body and soul. It's sociopathic but a sad reality.
I think you grossly exaggerate
Ironically it's actually very likely. Look at the US now. Looks like the US is heading to what this show is about.
Disgusting, mean spirited twisting of Jewish beliefs and history. And then trying to make it look like its Christian. It's ugly.
D. Matz. Lol Christian apolgist
Why Lol?
They fucked themselves over
This show is for Progressives what Red Dawn was for Conservatives.

All this sons of jacob gilead business is a nice idea and that but it would never happen
I just love Utopian stories like this. It's a great series. Hopefully the commander discovers that Offred is an evil sinner and should be purged. Hopefully our country will become like this soon. We are such an evil society now.
Not even Serena Joy wanted the country to become like this even though it was her idea in the first place.
Good troll comment
I hate those maids so much, I would love to oppress them myself.
Sasapesso what the heck are you talking about?
Thats the pathetic things about a show id love to watch. Their taking the word of some preconditioned biblical book thats not even real and making mockery of not only barring children but the music as well. God is good he does not even expect we as women to be with other men then the man we love, married to. If you are not blessed to have children forcing another woman is rape.
What's crazy is women in the United States think that this could happen to them. I would be more scared of Crazy democrats & scientology....lol
She wanted it obviously
Hello friends 😘🙋🙋...
