2
00:00:05,229 --> 00:00:07,647
The pilot starts with Angela and Rayanne
accosting people in the street.
3
00:00:08,423 --> 00:00:10,019
Like kids.
4
00:00:12,790 --> 00:00:16,169
Claire Danes (Angela Chase) was 13
when the pilot was shot.
5
00:00:17,523 --> 00:00:20,326
Before, she had made an appearance
in the series "Law & Order".
6
00:00:32,574 --> 00:00:35,506
A.J. Langer (Rayanne Graff) was 21.
It's her first great role.
7
00:00:36,004 --> 00:00:38,946
Rayanne appears as the leader,
who Angela tries to imitate.
8
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:55,164
The voice over immerses you in
Angela's tortured mind.
9
00:00:56,764 --> 00:00:59,399
At fifteen, the young girl would
like to spread out her wings.
10
00:01:00,215 --> 00:01:03,121
Her philosophic thoughts come from
the creator's brilliant mind...
11
00:01:04,346 --> 00:01:06,977
Winnie Holzman, poet and
scenarist of the episode.
12
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:10,412
Style effects, like this semi-black
melted, contribute to the aesthetic.
13
00:01:11,798 --> 00:01:13,929
Sharon appears in the darkness.
14
00:01:14,617 --> 00:01:16,351
She embodies Angela's
black ideas.
15
00:01:16,922 --> 00:01:19,275
Paradoxically, her protective behaviour
provokes some kind of insecurity.
16
00:01:24,555 --> 00:01:26,859
Angela listens to her,
but doesn't hear anything.
17
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:30,078
She needs to breathe,
to see other people...
18
00:01:31,099 --> 00:01:33,401
refuses to be reduced
to an attitude.
19
00:01:34,637 --> 00:01:37,771
The intro dives you into
a latent fascination...
20
00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:41,206
lulled by W.G. Snuffy
Walden music.
21
00:01:42,013 --> 00:01:43,911
Angela starts having
interest for boys.
22
00:01:44,911 --> 00:01:47,512
Her body mutates,
but she feels paralyzed.
23
00:01:49,215 --> 00:01:51,758
The slowed emphasizes the sliding
sensation into a universe.
24
00:01:54,584 --> 00:01:57,087
Brian is introduced to us,
confronted to students.
25
00:01:57,774 --> 00:02:00,133
No element indicates that he'll take a
determining part in Angela's evolution.
26
00:02:01,394 --> 00:02:04,074
Angela dislikes cheerleaders,
futile and insouciant.
27
00:02:09,904 --> 00:02:12,710
The brutal acceleration reflects back
Angela's collision on our own body.
28
00:02:13,842 --> 00:02:16,352
The play with sonorities makes
the effect more effective.
29
00:02:16,686 --> 00:02:19,157
Angela, who discovers highschool,
looks like a young scholar.
30
00:02:19,779 --> 00:02:21,617
Waistcoat, scottish skirt,
silk stockings.
31
00:02:22,491 --> 00:02:24,754
Through the window, Angela's
looking for a way to escape.
32
00:02:25,367 --> 00:02:27,351
She perceives Rayanne and a teenager...
33
00:02:27,651 --> 00:02:29,383
maybe her boyfriend.
34
00:02:30,017 --> 00:02:32,522
Angela would like to join them,
to hold their hand.
35
00:02:33,007 --> 00:02:35,005
She starts lying to Sharon,
not to hurt her.
36
00:02:38,095 --> 00:02:40,307
This thought, as many others,
will survive to the series.
37
00:02:41,137 --> 00:02:43,306
Because it doesn't only
concern Angela's universe...
38
00:02:44,107 --> 00:02:46,470
it concerns every individual who
ever walked into a school hallway.
39
00:02:47,391 --> 00:02:49,483
Claire Danes uses a
particular timing...
40
00:02:50,245 --> 00:02:52,575
with a break before:
"for your heart".
41
00:02:53,149 --> 00:02:54,876
Angela's mutation begins.
42
00:02:55,618 --> 00:02:57,415
We hardly know her that
she already changes.
43
00:02:58,152 --> 00:03:00,819
Pilot
44
00:03:01,572 --> 00:03:03,056
Her beauty, ordinary till then...
45
00:03:03,922 --> 00:03:05,934
becomes obvious.
46
00:03:06,901 --> 00:03:08,995
In her eyes, we can see
excitation and anguish.
47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
The intro ends with
this angelic face.
48
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,967
Patty, Angela's mother, doesn't
recognize her daughter.
49
00:03:14,865 --> 00:03:16,443
Angela doesn't say:
"I have dyed my hair."
50
00:03:17,217 --> 00:03:18,936
She considers herself as a victim, taken
in a processus she's not responsible for.
51
00:03:19,748 --> 00:03:21,010
Adolescence.
52
00:03:21,753 --> 00:03:23,885
Patty's ironic, very angry.
53
00:03:24,580 --> 00:03:26,042
Still, she tries to keep calm.
54
00:03:26,975 --> 00:03:28,595
She disapproves open conflicts.
55
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:32,350
She reacts like a normal mother,
confronted to an abrupt change.
56
00:03:33,536 --> 00:03:36,196
Nevertheless, charmed by Angela,
we already see her as a tyran.
57
00:03:37,142 --> 00:03:39,424
We adopt Angela's point of vue.
58
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:42,731
Bess Armstrong (Patty Chase)
speaks slowly...
59
00:03:43,399 --> 00:03:46,003
to accentuate her character's
disagreement.
60
00:03:46,771 --> 00:03:49,167
Angela's friends incite her
to control her nerves.
61
00:03:49,866 --> 00:03:52,243
It doesn't prevent her from
saying what she wants.
62
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:54,720
Rayanne jumps on the cheese.
63
00:03:55,411 --> 00:03:57,542
Rickie doesn't seem
too masculine.
64
00:03:58,152 --> 00:04:00,095
Angela is having a hard
time with her mother.
65
00:04:00,678 --> 00:04:02,481
At the beginning, characters
are clearly defined.
66
00:04:03,152 --> 00:04:05,431
They'll evolve with the series.
67
00:04:10,518 --> 00:04:13,569
Angela seems tired, passive,
but tons of ideas cross her mind.
68
00:04:14,271 --> 00:04:16,101
It never stops.
69
00:04:17,103 --> 00:04:19,162
Like an eolian taken
in a windstorm.
70
00:04:37,114 --> 00:04:39,114
The difference between "red" and
"crimson glow" may look lowest...
71
00:04:40,459 --> 00:04:42,459
not for a teenager
who's 15.
72
00:04:43,637 --> 00:04:45,938
Graham, Angela's father,
is trying to make humour.
73
00:04:46,905 --> 00:04:49,532
It's not a success, because
of his powerlesness feeling.
74
00:04:50,593 --> 00:04:52,509
Angela defines him
with one sentence.
75
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,099
Patty is clearly established as the
person who governs the couple.
76
00:04:57,712 --> 00:04:59,902
Graham keeps silent.
77
00:05:07,021 --> 00:05:09,587
Glances and fork scratches
are meaningful.
78
00:05:10,446 --> 00:05:12,881
Patty will often smile
like this, bitterly.
79
00:05:13,292 --> 00:05:15,324
Gestures show a
general embarrassment.
80
00:05:19,609 --> 00:05:22,528
Graham, naturally relaxed,
still has a few inhibitions.
81
00:05:22,642 --> 00:05:24,676
Danielle, Angela's little sister,
is afraid of the dark.
82
00:05:25,276 --> 00:05:27,321
She feels like being
constantly in the dark.
83
00:05:28,666 --> 00:05:30,449
People don't recognize her.
84
00:05:46,954 --> 00:05:49,538
Graham is so disturbed that he
doesn't remember Anne Frank.
85
00:05:53,044 --> 00:05:54,857
Angela can't believe it!
86
00:06:05,637 --> 00:06:08,637
A nice way of telling how
growth can frighten parents.
87
00:06:14,765 --> 00:06:16,555
Graham and Patty play tennis.
They throw the ball to each other.
88
00:06:17,724 --> 00:06:20,688
They seem exhausted, lost
with Angela's education.
89
00:06:23,287 --> 00:06:25,435
They look like many parents.
90
00:06:26,623 --> 00:06:29,870
Winnie Holzman, Edward Zwick and Marshall
Herskovitz, the producers, considered...
91
00:06:30,706 --> 00:06:33,743
their relation as a
mirror to adolescence.
92
00:06:34,664 --> 00:06:37,466
They had to be human, comprehensive...
93
00:06:38,365 --> 00:06:41,144
not only seen from
Angela's point of vue.
94
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:44,607
It would have been too reducer.
95
00:06:45,579 --> 00:06:48,379
The light sparkling in
Graham's eyes expresses love.
96
00:06:49,684 --> 00:06:52,230
Like he was seeing Patty
for the first time.
97
00:06:53,718 --> 00:06:56,261
A need of relativity, nostalgia,
humour characterize him.
98
00:07:21,017 --> 00:07:23,826
Patty doesn't want to react.
All inside.
99
00:07:24,529 --> 00:07:26,621
What is the solution?
100
00:07:34,058 --> 00:07:36,302
Patty doesn't recognize
her daughter any more.
101
00:07:37,326 --> 00:07:39,605
What she says is terrible...
102
00:07:40,682 --> 00:07:42,682
but so true.
103
00:07:43,668 --> 00:07:46,745
A few music notes make
a perfect transition.
104
00:07:48,606 --> 00:07:50,410
Angela's in love.
105
00:07:51,341 --> 00:07:53,281
His name is Jordan Catalano.
106
00:08:23,782 --> 00:08:25,916
Sharon is a second Patty.
107
00:08:29,149 --> 00:08:31,030
She doesn't recognize
Angela any more.
108
00:08:32,283 --> 00:08:35,273
Rayanne, backwards, embodies
the emergency exit.
109
00:08:36,405 --> 00:08:39,405
The mix of music and glances
creates a tense atmosphere.
110
00:08:40,093 --> 00:08:42,818
School is a battlefield,
for your heart.
111
00:08:45,877 --> 00:08:49,369
Like in "Ally mc Beal", toilets
are a discussing place.
112
00:08:50,743 --> 00:08:52,609
Rayanne's perfectly right.
113
00:09:04,755 --> 00:09:08,192
Any girl would have mentioned
Jordan's eyes, perfect body...
114
00:09:09,252 --> 00:09:10,873
Angela sees something else.
115
00:09:11,797 --> 00:09:13,395
She likes how he leans.
116
00:09:14,309 --> 00:09:16,561
How she desires Jordan
amazes Rayanne.
117
00:09:17,481 --> 00:09:19,161
Yet, she's far from innocent.
118
00:09:21,632 --> 00:09:23,536
Jordan will be there.
119
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:33,726
Sharon's still there.
120
00:09:34,748 --> 00:09:36,315
Are they going to say anything?
121
00:09:36,722 --> 00:09:37,616
No.
122
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:40,299
Finally, yes.
123
00:09:45,056 --> 00:09:46,960
Angela's present, not her mind.
124
00:09:57,421 --> 00:09:59,121
Brian reappears as a photographer.
125
00:10:00,074 --> 00:10:01,551
Angela doesn't want her
picture to be stolen.
126
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:07,696
This is a lovely view.
127
00:10:08,126 --> 00:10:09,983
Dan Lerner directs the episode.
128
00:10:21,936 --> 00:10:23,527
Who didn't vote?
129
00:10:29,298 --> 00:10:31,116
Angela appears more
handsome than ever.
130
00:10:35,141 --> 00:10:36,813
Another ingenious view.
131
00:10:51,004 --> 00:10:52,975
Brian finally obtains
the so coveted picture.
132
00:11:02,504 --> 00:11:04,617
Sharon feels like home.
She knows the place.
133
00:11:05,582 --> 00:11:07,485
Her visit doesn't delight Angela.
134
00:11:18,191 --> 00:11:20,587
Especially when her old
friend denouces her.
135
00:11:21,171 --> 00:11:22,171
Indirectly, of course.
136
00:11:24,090 --> 00:11:26,111
Sharon and Patty, side by side,
could belong the same family.
137
00:11:28,632 --> 00:11:30,867
Patty's life would be simplified.
138
00:11:47,546 --> 00:11:49,748
When she turns back, Angela's gone.
139
00:12:00,326 --> 00:12:02,352
Rickie's in the wrong
toilets. No problem.
140
00:12:03,708 --> 00:12:05,762
Angela doesn't really know him.
141
00:12:06,802 --> 00:12:08,832
Jordan Catalano's the heart
of each conversation.
142
00:12:09,867 --> 00:12:12,001
As a mentor, Rayanne
relishes the situation.
143
00:12:28,422 --> 00:12:32,189
Rickie wears eye-liner, Rayanne collects guys,
Angela hurries up when the bell rings...
144
00:12:33,058 --> 00:12:35,058
Three different tempers.
Together.
145
00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:43,512
Like an angel, Angela
runs to the light.
146
00:12:46,506 --> 00:12:49,252
One of the cheerleaders, so happy
at the beginning, is crying alone.
147
00:12:50,241 --> 00:12:51,894
Roles have been inverted.
148
00:12:52,619 --> 00:12:55,299
This diving, then sliding view,
penetrating into the classroom...
149
00:12:56,059 --> 00:12:58,127
confirms the exceptional
aesthetic of the series.
150
00:12:59,026 --> 00:13:01,026
The direction, dedicated to
the story, works wonderfully.
151
00:13:02,501 --> 00:13:04,670
We discover the classroom
as a chaotic place.
152
00:13:05,665 --> 00:13:06,665
Reason to hope: a hand up.
153
00:13:08,493 --> 00:13:10,167
Brian's one.
154
00:13:11,036 --> 00:13:13,062
He can answer anything.
155
00:13:19,902 --> 00:13:21,934
Transitions accentuate
this omniscience.
156
00:13:23,934 --> 00:13:26,347
Anne Frank, topic of the day.
157
00:13:39,597 --> 00:13:41,706
The shrivelling light
captivates Angela.
158
00:13:42,733 --> 00:13:44,468
One of the pilot most
ingenious views.
159
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:47,665
We can see Anne Frank's portrait
on Angela's book.
160
00:13:48,586 --> 00:13:50,849
A young girl in love, hidden,
at a turning point of her life.
161
00:13:51,767 --> 00:13:53,454
They look the same.
162
00:14:11,391 --> 00:14:13,768
Jordan's appearence is providential.
163
00:14:16,532 --> 00:14:18,834
It brings Angela inspiration.
164
00:14:36,989 --> 00:14:38,987
Her answer isn't understood.
165
00:14:40,018 --> 00:14:42,121
Though, it has a deep sense.
166
00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:45,030
Angela would like to be enclosed
with Jordan. Just the two of them.
167
00:14:46,074 --> 00:14:47,731
She'll have the opportunity.
168
00:14:48,771 --> 00:14:50,562
Students are gone.
169
00:14:51,416 --> 00:14:53,207
Except Angela and her teacher.
170
00:15:06,249 --> 00:15:08,679
Details that mentions Angela
touched Marshall Herskovitz.
171
00:15:09,865 --> 00:15:12,157
He'd been astonished by Winnie Holzman
remembrances, injected to the series.
172
00:15:13,185 --> 00:15:15,067
Those remembrances were his.
173
00:15:16,218 --> 00:15:18,899
He hadn't been thinking of
these details for years...
174
00:15:20,057 --> 00:15:22,312
but when he read the pilot script,
it became clear.
175
00:15:23,226 --> 00:15:25,111
Like it was yesterday.
176
00:15:40,578 --> 00:15:42,685
Angela's trying to give
her point of view.
177
00:15:43,685 --> 00:15:46,484
Behind her carapace,
real feelings emerge.
178
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,271
How she describes yearbook
is unexpected...
179
00:16:23,258 --> 00:16:25,105
and very dark.
180
00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:32,859
The music gives a new direction.
181
00:16:36,276 --> 00:16:39,276
This transition establish Angela's
identification to Anne Frank.
182
00:16:42,408 --> 00:16:44,408
Thanks to a subjective view,
Angela's eyes become ours.
183
00:16:48,792 --> 00:16:51,452
The voice over reinforces
this feeling.
184
00:17:11,739 --> 00:17:14,418
Angela and her father
try to communicate.
185
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:24,279
She wants to protect him.
186
00:17:36,644 --> 00:17:38,144
And reciprocally.
187
00:17:43,527 --> 00:17:45,527
Angela can read into
her father's mind.
188
00:17:55,204 --> 00:17:57,204
Graham finds the faille.
189
00:18:11,869 --> 00:18:13,869
They understand each other,
like in symbiosis.
190
00:18:30,708 --> 00:18:32,708
One point for Graham.
191
00:18:47,582 --> 00:18:49,582
The next second, Angela's
lying to her father.
192
00:18:52,421 --> 00:18:55,441
Her feelings are hard to discern.
193
00:18:57,474 --> 00:19:00,048
She's taking advantage of her
father's weakness.
194
00:19:04,852 --> 00:19:06,831
Silence gives consent.
195
00:19:10,458 --> 00:19:13,440
The youth caricature slightly attenuates
the credibility of the pilot.
196
00:19:15,893 --> 00:19:19,079
But it accentuates Angela's innocence.
197
00:19:20,083 --> 00:19:21,948
Whatever she says.
198
00:19:44,752 --> 00:19:46,752
It doesn't look like her universe.
199
00:19:48,847 --> 00:19:51,847
Comings out, boyfriends,
all this is new for her.
200
00:19:52,714 --> 00:19:55,181
On the contrary, Rayanne's
having a great time.
201
00:19:55,868 --> 00:19:58,112
A bottle in the hand.
202
00:20:23,929 --> 00:20:27,510
Angela feels humiliated.
Everybody's looking at her.
203
00:20:31,137 --> 00:20:33,342
For a young girl trying
to be accepted...
204
00:20:34,542 --> 00:20:36,642
it's too bad.
205
00:20:44,460 --> 00:20:46,704
Behind this door, is...
206
00:20:47,669 --> 00:20:49,887
a sequence that doesn't
need commentaries.
207
00:21:14,651 --> 00:21:18,201
The way Claire Danes
moves is exceptional...
208
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:22,307
for a so young actress.
209
00:21:23,326 --> 00:21:25,822
The whole staff was impressed.
210
00:22:28,051 --> 00:22:29,955
Angela plaits her eyes.
211
00:22:31,222 --> 00:22:33,611
Sometimes, she'd kill
for a flashback.
212
00:22:37,161 --> 00:22:39,836
The few words exchanged
don't bring much information.
213
00:22:40,966 --> 00:22:42,966
But the ambient mystery...
214
00:22:43,049 --> 00:22:45,049
makes the sequence powerful.
215
00:22:45,106 --> 00:22:47,541
The less we're told, the more
we want to know what's in...
216
00:22:47,846 --> 00:22:49,959
every character's mind.
217
00:22:51,356 --> 00:22:53,546
A process the series
will never deny.
218
00:22:57,548 --> 00:22:58,548
It's going to be Angela's feast!
219
00:23:00,031 --> 00:23:02,029
Patty feels offended.
Roles aren't equitable.
220
00:23:02,939 --> 00:23:05,032
She's always the mean one.
221
00:23:05,922 --> 00:23:07,942
It's often said that
girls prefer the father.
222
00:23:08,813 --> 00:23:10,945
From that point, the series
doesn't invent anything.
223
00:23:11,694 --> 00:23:14,045
It talks about real life.
224
00:23:25,311 --> 00:23:27,311
Once again, Patty doesn't
express her feelings.
225
00:23:28,749 --> 00:23:30,514
The familial cocoon
is about to explode.
226
00:23:59,812 --> 00:24:02,927
This reply illustrates the frontier
between Angela and her mother.
227
00:24:07,562 --> 00:24:09,894
Angela uses relativity,
like her father.
228
00:24:12,628 --> 00:24:15,062
He hasn't the miracle solution.
229
00:24:31,344 --> 00:24:34,144
One by one, each character is shown.
230
00:24:39,089 --> 00:24:41,486
Four members.
A divided family.
231
00:24:45,621 --> 00:24:48,763
What really happened,
Angela won' tell.
232
00:24:52,184 --> 00:24:54,534
Cafeteria meals, a vast program.
233
00:25:02,914 --> 00:25:05,189
Rayanne already has a new plan.
234
00:25:06,061 --> 00:25:08,611
The so-called Tino appears for the
first time in a conversation...
235
00:25:09,425 --> 00:25:11,805
but we don't know who he is.
236
00:25:29,536 --> 00:25:31,670
"Oz", three years sooner.
237
00:25:32,641 --> 00:25:34,846
Brian embodies the drudge,
brilliant student.
238
00:25:35,657 --> 00:25:37,657
In appearance.
239
00:25:47,621 --> 00:25:50,165
Small parody of girls conversations.
240
00:25:53,577 --> 00:25:55,860
A white, a mixed and an asian.
241
00:25:56,676 --> 00:25:59,267
"My so-called Life" also
symbolizes the melting-pot.
242
00:26:00,208 --> 00:26:02,717
It's not a one-coloured
series as "Friends".
243
00:26:03,703 --> 00:26:06,382
Gathering characters who are
completely different...
244
00:26:07,238 --> 00:26:09,238
is among the specialities
of the series.
245
00:26:18,149 --> 00:26:21,088
Angela passes from one
universe to another.
246
00:26:28,543 --> 00:26:31,396
Tears flow into her throat.
247
00:26:36,882 --> 00:26:38,882
The sequence becomes intense.
248
00:26:40,613 --> 00:26:43,675
Devon Odessa (Sharon Chersky), as
a proud disagreable 'A' student...
249
00:26:45,992 --> 00:26:48,952
makes a difficult, so necessarily
remarkable performance.
250
00:26:56,019 --> 00:26:58,019
Sharon and Angela can't
even look at each other.
251
00:27:20,622 --> 00:27:22,622
Emotion is near, palpable.
252
00:27:42,946 --> 00:27:45,346
Angela made a choice,
it's time to pay the price.
253
00:27:52,478 --> 00:27:54,450
Even if she refuses.
254
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,418
The discrete music
underlines the drama.
255
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,289
A bond is broken.
256
00:28:05,390 --> 00:28:07,193
Forever.
257
00:28:42,262 --> 00:28:44,201
Back to the perfect family.
258
00:28:45,073 --> 00:28:47,073
The one Patty dreams of.
259
00:28:59,343 --> 00:29:01,865
Danielle speaks plainly.
260
00:29:23,079 --> 00:29:25,873
The discomfort between Angela
and her mother isn't dissipated...
261
00:29:27,471 --> 00:29:30,450
It will need more than a few words.
262
00:29:43,285 --> 00:29:45,735
If you eat up Patty's cheese,
take care!
263
00:29:47,126 --> 00:29:48,937
Graham's enjoying the situation.
264
00:29:55,316 --> 00:29:57,267
He defends his daughter, again.
265
00:30:02,888 --> 00:30:06,285
For a few seconds, Patty and
Graham recover their youth.
266
00:30:33,506 --> 00:30:35,760
Angela's argument doesn't convince.
267
00:30:40,494 --> 00:30:42,683
The way her mother reacts
is disgusting her.
268
00:30:43,494 --> 00:30:45,531
Patty, so sarcastic,
so self-confident...
269
00:30:46,292 --> 00:30:48,053
Graham follows Patty,
who follows Angela.
270
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:50,993
Representative of the Chases.
271
00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:54,262
Danielle, her, doesn't mind
those disputes.
272
00:31:00,699 --> 00:31:03,338
For the first time, Rickie's
sexual troubles are evoked.
273
00:31:14,448 --> 00:31:16,767
Patty considers him as a child,
like her daughter.
274
00:31:18,029 --> 00:31:20,018
She's not ready for those changes.
275
00:31:21,185 --> 00:31:23,025
Things are going too fast.
276
00:31:25,140 --> 00:31:26,993
Graham isn't on anyone side.
277
00:31:27,842 --> 00:31:30,069
He just want everyone to be happy.
278
00:31:30,867 --> 00:31:32,531
Nevertheless, it's the opposite.
279
00:31:33,399 --> 00:31:35,198
Angela keeps lying.
280
00:31:41,373 --> 00:31:45,028
The family reaches a new breakpoint.
281
00:32:17,627 --> 00:32:23,247
The camera slides on Angela.
A bicycle backwards.
282
00:32:32,791 --> 00:32:34,578
Brian, always there.
283
00:32:46,650 --> 00:32:49,822
His loud voice contrasts
with his juvenile body.
284
00:32:53,586 --> 00:32:56,758
1-1, kick off.
285
00:32:58,284 --> 00:33:00,185
Angela is forwards.
286
00:33:01,222 --> 00:33:03,321
Brian's making circles.
287
00:33:04,337 --> 00:33:06,807
He'd like Angela to be inside.
288
00:33:07,641 --> 00:33:09,760
But she's untouchable.
289
00:33:11,369 --> 00:33:13,264
He prefered her before.
290
00:33:26,445 --> 00:33:30,159
From tensions between two persons
can emerge great love stories...
291
00:33:31,415 --> 00:33:33,327
Who knows?
292
00:33:51,704 --> 00:33:54,385
Let's go for an amazing night!
293
00:34:01,547 --> 00:34:03,681
Tino, never where you'd expect.
294
00:34:04,549 --> 00:34:06,225
Contrary to Brian.
295
00:34:07,619 --> 00:34:09,462
Rickie waits for his life to start.
296
00:34:10,299 --> 00:34:13,025
By saying this, he summarizes
the whole concept of the series.
297
00:34:13,944 --> 00:34:16,396
Teenagers waiting for their
life to finally start.
298
00:34:17,232 --> 00:34:19,175
Their so-called life.
299
00:34:30,895 --> 00:34:33,782
Girls, in the darkness,
are looking for their way.
300
00:35:10,380 --> 00:35:12,423
A new metaphor, untemporal.
301
00:35:13,323 --> 00:35:16,373
Angela's lyricism, melancholy,
emanate from this sentence.
302
00:35:17,356 --> 00:35:19,677
She becomes an intimate of Rickie.
303
00:35:34,754 --> 00:35:36,584
Unexpected encounter.
304
00:35:38,115 --> 00:35:40,680
Rayanne has lost self-control.
305
00:35:51,891 --> 00:35:54,400
The age disparity clearly appears.
306
00:36:11,150 --> 00:36:12,951
Rickie is excluded from the group.
307
00:36:14,012 --> 00:36:15,012
As usual.
308
00:36:55,024 --> 00:36:57,700
Angela didn't want that to happen.
309
00:36:58,522 --> 00:37:00,461
She's paying for her innocence.
310
00:37:01,525 --> 00:37:03,970
This time, something is
really happening.
311
00:37:59,357 --> 00:38:01,337
Jordan, from the darkness appears.
312
00:38:12,446 --> 00:38:13,446
He knows her first name.
313
00:38:16,039 --> 00:38:18,152
He gives a sense to her life.
314
00:38:27,721 --> 00:38:29,929
Rayanne's awakening is rude.
315
00:38:31,180 --> 00:38:33,436
She was supposed to protect Angela...
316
00:38:34,457 --> 00:38:36,361
but the contrary occured.
317
00:38:38,141 --> 00:38:40,141
The most confused isn't
the one you'd thought.
318
00:39:44,922 --> 00:39:47,926
Angela feels deeply touched
by Anne Frank's destiny...
319
00:39:49,109 --> 00:39:51,295
it's about her own life.
320
00:39:53,410 --> 00:39:56,448
The two reading levels make
"My so-called Life" clever.
321
00:40:00,157 --> 00:40:01,973
Angela'd like to stop hiding...
322
00:40:10,665 --> 00:40:12,315
to be free.
323
00:40:36,356 --> 00:40:38,128
Brian, guardian angel.
324
00:41:09,393 --> 00:41:11,579
Angela's waiting for one thing...
325
00:41:16,167 --> 00:41:18,197
the policeman to go away.
326
00:41:22,501 --> 00:41:24,755
Brian doesn't exist in her world.
327
00:41:25,859 --> 00:41:27,791
Not any more.
328
00:41:31,262 --> 00:41:34,141
However, after an intense night,
she needs to talk.
329
00:41:35,439 --> 00:41:37,476
Brian can't understand...
330
00:41:38,811 --> 00:41:40,791
but he's there...
331
00:41:42,139 --> 00:41:44,220
always there when she needs help.
332
00:41:45,796 --> 00:41:48,288
Angela's disabused by what
happens to her.
333
00:42:05,979 --> 00:42:08,171
The camera stops on her.
334
00:42:09,205 --> 00:42:11,702
She perceives her father discussing
with a young sexy lady...
335
00:42:12,803 --> 00:42:14,074
and her life upsets.
336
00:42:23,586 --> 00:42:26,057
The way Claire Danes moves back...
337
00:42:27,117 --> 00:42:29,302
totally destroyed, isn't taught
in schools.
338
00:42:30,565 --> 00:42:32,601
The actress embodies Angela
over the words.
339
00:42:33,458 --> 00:42:36,161
The song "Everybody hurts" by R.E.M.
seems written for that sequence.
340
00:42:37,545 --> 00:42:40,265
It talks about weariness, suffering, pain...
341
00:42:41,233 --> 00:42:43,206
all the emotions Angela's feeling.
342
00:42:44,655 --> 00:42:47,655
Fragilized, she opens her heart to Brian...
343
00:42:57,473 --> 00:42:59,473
then closes it.
344
00:43:01,891 --> 00:43:04,891
The lights and decors are amazing.
345
00:43:16,418 --> 00:43:19,684
They communicate a bitterness in
adequation with the characters.
346
00:43:58,375 --> 00:44:00,375
In the mirror, Angela
doesn't see herself...
347
00:44:01,654 --> 00:44:03,728
but a stranger.
348
00:44:10,997 --> 00:44:12,664
Did she find her way?
349
00:44:14,512 --> 00:44:16,509
Should she give up the new Angela?
350
00:44:39,561 --> 00:44:41,561
Patty doesn't need to hold up her head.
351
00:44:42,585 --> 00:44:44,585
Instinctively, she detects her daughter.
352
00:45:02,609 --> 00:45:04,273
New lie.
353
00:45:12,287 --> 00:45:14,354
"It's a wonderful life" airs on TV.
354
00:45:15,524 --> 00:45:17,691
It consists in Edward Zwick and
Marshall Herskovitz favourite movie...
355
00:45:18,889 --> 00:45:21,229
to such a degree that they called their
production company "Bedford Falls"...
356
00:45:22,202 --> 00:45:24,202
the name of the town where
James Stewart is in the movie.
357
00:45:39,929 --> 00:45:40,929
Patty recovers her daughter...
358
00:45:41,833 --> 00:45:43,833
against all expectations.
359
00:46:04,514 --> 00:46:07,014
She uses Angela's expression,
"In my humble opinion".
360
00:46:24,690 --> 00:46:26,835
Angela and Jordan, act II.
361
00:46:49,892 --> 00:46:51,892
He leans great.
362
00:46:53,893 --> 00:46:56,094
The music resumes at the perfect time.
363
00:46:56,931 --> 00:46:59,425
Angela just had her first real
conversation with Jordan.
364
00:47:00,629 --> 00:47:02,496
Nothing will be the same.
365
00:47:03,775 --> 00:47:06,036
The butterfly can stand on its own legs...
366
00:47:07,078 --> 00:47:09,078
we're just behind.
367
00:47:10,283 --> 00:47:12,924
A sincere, precocious,
mature work was born...
368
00:47:13,707 --> 00:47:15,646
at a time people weren't ready.
369
00:47:16,381 --> 00:47:18,313
But anyone who, some day,
discovered Angela's eyes...
370
00:47:19,631 --> 00:47:21,631
knows that he had moment.
371
