Around The World in 80 Days: Friendship

So. I have recently watched "Around The World in 80 Days" (2021), starring David Tennant, Leonie Benesch and Ibrahim Koma. And i have not stopped thinking about it since. But one thing that has really stuck with me is that, among other things, the show is a story of friendship. I love that the story is not a romance story, despite having romance aspects. We know that Fogg was or still is deeply in love with Estella and leaving her is his biggest regret. He even outrights says the words too. He tells her how much he loves her. But his motivation and character go way beyond that (which deserve its own seperate post)

We can also see that there is a deeper connection forming between Passepartout and Abigail. Yet, they never even kiss. Which is honestly quite unusual. Any other show would have made them kiss. I mean, a man and a woman with this much chemistry? Sure, they almost do before getting interrupted but that is it. They even share a very delicate and emotional slowdance together. And yet, throughout the show and at the end, they are great and honest friends. Even after slowdancing the night before, sharing this intimate moment, Abigail calls Passepartout her friend and talks about how much this friendship means to her. How she doesn't want to lose him as a friend.

We see all of their relationships with one another change and grow in the course of their 80 days of adventure. There is so much emotion between all of them. There is fear, anger, understanding, confusion, betrayal, trust. But at the end, most importantly, there is friendship. The bond they have formed has changed all of them. Has brought out the good in all of them. They learned so much from one another, understood each other and understood themselves. And THAT was the core essence of their relationship. The story was never solely about romance. Abigail (and Passepartout) even openly discuss this when Fogg leaves to meet with Estella. They are disappointed because that is not how their story should go, that is not how it should end. Abigail tries to make a love story out of it, but she know that this is not that kind of story. This is not a story of romance, of finding the love of your life, of rekindling with a love long lost. This IS however a story of love in the sense of friendship, companionship, of finding your passion and your place in life. It's a story of growth and of finding yourself. At least that's what it is for me. I was so grateful that they did not actually make Abigail and Passepartout a couple or have Fogg and Estella kiss or anything like it. The story, the characters, their journey- it was all still just as powerful

Nose/profile appreciation for the Around the World in 80 Days trio.

All references from the Hong Kong episode, the bank scene to be precise (Fogg looks so high and mighty, but he's only looking at the clock lol).

Finished reading ATWIED, immediately went and rewatched the 2021 adaptation, and was excitedly fangirling every time they incorporated a new detail from the book into a different part of the reworked story.

Examples:

Abigail working for The Daily Telegraph, which in the book was the only newspaper to support Fogg

Crossing the damaged bridge, but in Italy instead of the US

Passepartout climbing on the outside of the train in order to save the passengers

Taking the train apart to use for fuel, which is what they did to their ship on the way back to Liverpool

Aouda but she's the one who saves Fogg's life

Aouda but she's the one who saves Fogg's life

Standing trial in India, except this time on behalf of someone else

Passepartout, while trying to help, nearly costing them the whole trip in Hong Kong

They finally make it on board the Carnatic!

(Not for long, though)

Everyone nearly dying in an ambush while crossing America

Their ship back is still called the Henrietta 💜

And did I mention

AOUDA BUT SHE'S THE ONE WHO SAVES FOGG'S LIFE

Those are just the ones I could remember off the top of my head. I'm almost certain there were more. Amazing book, stunning adaptation, both are highly recommended.

i am going to hate on Around The World in 80 Days (2021).

Not because of any "woke bullshit", in fact the only reason i chose to watch this version instead of another was because of the woke bullshit the negative reviews had promised me.

No, I want to complain about three things.

A) i was most definitely a Fix/Passepartout shipper when i read the book. however when they gender swapped fix, it was like oh. You've gender swapped this character for what? so you could make them heterosexual? Gender swap both, cowards.

B) Phileas Foggs whole personality... As well as some others, but we'll focus on him as he's the main character- the negative reviews had of course informed me that the show had "sucked out all his testosterone", but as an enjoyer of loser men, i was almost looking forward to that. No, but they've taken away everything that made him act like himself, he no longer acts cold, he acts like... Well, he acts like any David Tennant character (thats not a murderer, that is).

C) other then the personality, it was very inconsistent with the book? Again, not talking about Passepartout being Black or Fix being a women, I really dont mind that other then them being heterosexual, but I mean, what the fuck happened to Aouda?

Anyway sorry for complaining about this, im sure it was great to a lot of people, but as someone who had literally finished the book the same day i started watching, it was really annoying.

— estella?

my darling estella, you came back. I always knew you would. I always knew...no, I didn't know, but I hoped. I dreamed.

feel my heart, estella. it has always been yours. waiting for you.

now you're finally here, I can tell you everything. i'm...I'm travelling the world...like we planned. france, italy. I've had such adventures. I flew across the alps. I saved a young boy's life.

I just want you to be proud of me. just once.

you see, estella, I've been alone for such a very long time. you were right to go. to leave me. I could never have been good enough for you. I think you knew that from the start. I think we both knew.
