ksaw's online screaming void

First things first, they mischaracterized nearly all of the major characters in the worst way possible. Why the hell did they get rid of Rodya's redeeming qualities that prevented us from despising him while reading the book? In the book, he had this kind of "rescuer syndrome" that made him give his last money to the Marmeladovs, to the policeman to help the girl he met in the street, and so on. What was the point of adding a kidnapping scene that wasn't in the book to the series if Rodya there was just standing still and casually watching how a man screamed for help? That was definitely out of character. I understand that there can be additional scenes in the adaptation that weren't in the book, but our main character should act accordingly in them. Like, logically (but not really correctly in some sense) it could make sense if they attempted to add more redeeming qualities to Raskolnikov's characters because nowadays we value human lives more than in the 19th century and if they want to make the audience not despise the main character of the show, it would be more logical to add more redeeming qualities to him. Instead of that, we got a mad murderer who acts like a maniac. I got disgusted by this guy, even though Rodion Raskolnikov is one of my favorite literary characters.

When it comes to other characters, they were interpreted as bad as Raskolnikov. I don't know who that girl was, but it was definitely not Dunya Raskolnikova from the book. Plus, the way Svidrigailov comes to the Raskolnikovs' flat and proposes to Dunya there is ridiculous. Because of the ridiculousness of this scene, Luzhin also looks out of character. That was not how I pictured him while reading. I won't even talk about Razumikhin and Sonya since I try to do my best to erase that scene with them out of my memory.

It was noticeable how the director/screenwriter tried to add some elements of The Brothers Karamazov to the series, and it could bring interesting results, but they disappointed me. A guy named Shadow who follows Raskolnikov like his hallucination but manages to act like a phantom was definitely borrowed from TBK. Most of the speeches he gives come from the Devil and Ivan Karamazov's dialogue in TBK. This Shadow guy actually raises a bunch of questions. I mean, It would be a good idea to add him in order to picture Rodya's monologues and thoughts as they appear in the book. But why, then, does this character appear in other scenes, too, with other characters when Raskolnikov is not around? And why the hell is he able to rob a market and use that food to have a picnic with Raskolnikov? There are only two explanations: either Rodya hallucinated this picnic and was not actually eating, or that guy is really some kind of ghost, and it switches Dostoevsky's realism into some paranormal live-action.

The part when Rodya talks about a boy who fed a nail to the dog was also from TBK, but I miss the point of adding it into series.

On the bright side, the scene that happens in the Raskolnikovs' flat when Luzhin sees photos of philosophers on the wall and asks if they are Raskolnikovs' relatives got me laughing really hard 😆

(I instantly noticed Camus here)

That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.

palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.

Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.

This is Hind.
