This is the sixth time I have seen House of Cards properly. It is fascinating, and the art is so great that I can see so many layers every time I watch it again.
Spreading it across ten years also means that i am in different phases of life + different maturity each time.
This time was mindblowing. How wrong I was about so many things, and how I was stuck to so many petty things in the past. One of my friends gifted me a frame with the quote.
i was focused on style, dialogue, and shallow stuff like breaking the rules. This time around, I could see the depths of the character and the society around him. I can write a whole book but I’ve just decided to focus and narrow down so here is a gist of what i thought:
Frank Underwood, a right-wing guy (qualities of a stayer/ roots) in a left-wing party (Democrats/movers), is the right combination. Everyone else gives up so easily, and it is ridiculously right in so many instances.
I cannot help but wonder ‘what if’ he was in the republican party?
This also makes me think how Trump is hated in the republican party. Maybe he would have been loved had he chosen to run with the democrats? Maybe.
Choosing not to have an opinion on the last season because it is not over yet.
