  • @ColieBear18
    @ColieBear18 5 лет назад +205

    This was my favorite episode. The direction here was stunning. The circular storytelling of the funeral at the beginning and again at the end were the perfect contradictions. In Gilead, they were buried without their names, in Canada, they were given their names back. And the imagery matched so perfectly between the cemetery circle and the little America circle memorial. It had me crying with goosebumps. Devastatingly beautiful episode.

    • @lkooper

    Some people mention that there is so much snow here, but in the city there isn't any. The series is filmed in and around Toronto. This particular scene is filmed in Hamilton, Ontario, about a hour west of Toronto, which gets more snow then in Toronto it self. The film studio I believe they use is the Pinewood Studio, in Central East Toronto, along Commissioners
    Other areas are in West Toronto, The Wall is in Cambridge Ontario
