Product Description
Based on Margaret Atwood’s award-winning, best-selling novel, The Handmaid’s Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized “return to traditional values.” As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander’s household, belonging to the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – with one goal: to survive and find the daughter who was taken from her. Also featuring Yvonne Strahovski and Samira Wiley.

This current film series gruesomely depicts that we've descended to the kind of atavistic impulses that are always at the edge of a civilized society.
Now, 32 yrs later, the U.S., plus many other countries are closer to this dystopia than ever--and have moved there since the late 70s after the Iranian Revolution. Travel to these countries with "traditional" values for women and you will step right into the Handmaid's Tale. Go to a rural county in the U.S. right now and try to get ANY kind of health care, especially for women's reproductive issues (including good pre-natal care), and you will step right into the HT.
And so much of the focus, as has it been since Aristotle, since Augustine, in HT is on women's bodies. The internet brings us horrible, violent images of women via porn streaming 24/7 (as does many a mainstream Hollywood film with its blithely graphic depictions of brutality to women), and the empowering of right-wing movements. Members of Congress want to deny women the right to birth control products via not covering them via their insurances (while male ED drugs are easily obtained and covered by insurance), abortion providers in 50 states have been greatly reduced due to political and legal pressures (with illegal abortions and infanticide on a dramatic rise, along with maternal and infant mortality rates IN THE U.S. IN 2017!--and Congress will be next going after the morning-after pills. The. U.S. President, with his grabbing of female genitalia, international money schemes, is poised to wreak mass destruction via nuclear weapons (his "rain of fire and fury" in this kind of war. A big difference is we have 8 billion people on the planet and still need to figure how to feed, clothe, educate, and provide healthcare and a decent standard of living for a high percentage of them. And every week in the U.S. another mass shooting is reported.
The series updates and rounds out the characters; particularly giving a bit more info on the regime that takes over, struggling with its "perfect" vision of the U.S. Don't miss the scene with the trade delegations.
It's pretty tough to watch for most us--we will see Offred and the other women's paths in their own--from a somewhat freer world where women could hold jobs, enjoy themselves, make choices, and continue to work for a better tomorrow--to being devalued at every turn in the media--where it takes women years to come out against a Weinstein and where Betsy DeVos (she would be a perfect Aunt or wife, here) denies female college students the right to defending against assault.
It is difficult to pursue happiness while working two jobs and still only scraping by, or when you're diagnosed with a chronic condition like Asthma and are unable to afford proper medical care, or when your medical bills force you into declaring bankruptcy.
We fool ourselves by calling the US a first world nation: we have 200 people waiting for shelter beds in my hometown, they're mostly just regular working-poor-class American Families that were living pay-check to paycheck, but now they're camped out in their cars (if they're lucky enough to have a car), tents, sleeping bags, etc. If they leave their belongings in a camp that is discovered; then everything they own is thrown away, so they are forced to tote around bags and luggage while prospective employers judge their appearance. My town has passed laws to prevent occupying a public space for too long: you cannot lie down or sit on a park bench and look homeless or you will be given a citation by city police. Additionally, you cannot be in possession of camping equipment in the downtown corridor or city parks without prior authorization. Failure to obtain a permit may result in a citation, trespass warning, or arrest. Citation fines that are not paid on time go into collections and after more time become arrest warrants. Our un-housed citizens should be granted the same personal freedoms that apply to ALL citizens, yet they are denied the most important: right to freedom of existence.
Public property is OUR property bought with OUR money and maintained by OUR taxes. Parks should be 24/7 and accessible to ALL of it's US Citizens.
It's time for US to Stand Up and Fight Back! It's time for US to wake up to the realities of oppression we face ALREADY before they multiply and emulate this TV Show, The Hunger Games, The 100, The Giver, and every other Distopia that OUR media is trying to warn US about! WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Stay 'WOKE!!!!

Je viens de recevoir mon coffret DVD. Selon les informations inscrites au menu du premier disque. il semblerait que les épisodes soient également sous-titrés dans les langues scandinaves.
L'âge minimum de visionnement recommandé varie de 12 ans en France à 16 ans en Allemagne et de 15 ans en république d'Irlande ainsi qu'au Royaume-Uni.
Après une crise climatique et écologique, le taux de fécondité s’est effondré partout sur Terre, plongeant l’humanité dans une crise profonde. Une secte, « Les fils de Jacob », en profite pour prendre le pouvoir aux Etats-Unis et pour fonder la « République de Gilead » qui retire aux femmes tous leurs droits à la citoyenneté, leur interdit l’accès à la lecture et les cantonne dans des fonctions normatives caractérisées par un uniforme et une couleur : épouses stériles (tenues vertes), domestiques (les Martha en tenues grises), surveillantes (les Tantes en uniforme marron) et Servantes écarlates (femmes cantonnées dans un rôle de reproduction). La série suit le destin de June (Elisabeth Moss), devenue malgré elle une la Servantes Defred (« offerte à Fred »), dans ce qui fut la ville de Boston.
Grâce à l’insertion de nombreux flash-back qui nous racontent la vie des personnages dans le « monde d’avant », le scénario nous fait mieux encore comprendre le caractère cauchemardesque de la société totalitaire qui est décrite. Homosexuels, prêtres catholiques, « résistants » partagent le triste sort de femmes privées de libertés et maltraitées sans vergogne dans un monde en quête d’une morale absurde. Bien que centré sur l’histoire de Defred, chaque épisode met en avant un autre des personnages de la « famille » dans laquelle elle est « affectée » pour sa « mission » (enfanter) : le commandant (Joseph Fiennes), son épouse (Yvones Strahovski), la Martha qui s’occupe de la maisonnée, le chauffeur et homme de confiance du couple, les amies de Defred...
La série est époustouflante de cohérence et de « réalisme », à la manière d’une fable philosophique. La réalisation et les acteur sont parfaits.
Elisabeth Moss l’illumine par son caractère. A voir absolument.
Le coffret est minimalistes : 4 DVD bruts, avec uniquement leur titre en lettre noire dans un boîtier sans artifices.
