uh oh they're starting to make choices in an adaptation of a book that I am not agreeing with!
#A Gentleman in Moscow#They totally rewrote the character of Mishka and his relationship to Sasha#In the book they are close friends despite of (or even bc of) their different backgrounds#And they're like brothers. It's a really heartwarming relationship and imo makes mishka's fate that much more impactful#But here they are former friends who were torn apart bc Mishka loved Sasha's sister#And Sasha stood in the way of their love bc he didn't believe Mishka could marry as a non-nobleman#And I'm sorry but that doesn't seem true to his character AT ALL#It feels like too black-and-white to add this blatantly classist attitude to him#Even tho yes he was an aristocrat and Mishka wasn't. I just don't think this is something Sasha would do.#It feels like a primitive move to make them have a rift bc of a 'forbidden love' thing. Idk what is even the point#Just let them be friends who are struggling with different things#Still holding on to that optimism I had at the start of this show. I am going to enjoy it DESPITE these edits. I AM.
