Acordei pensando em Betty Draper, a perfeita imagem da esposa troféu dos anos 60, congelada na década anterior. No início de Mad Men, Betty foi conduzida a um psicanalista que, no final de cada sessão, contava ao seu marido o que ela tinha explanado. Na última temporada, Betty decide cursar Psicologia, mas descobre um câncer e morre antes do fim dos anos 60. Matthew Weiner, criador da série, queria que alguma personagem feminina morresse e estava em dúvida sobre as três principais. Betty morre por não ser "uma mulher a frente de seu tempo", ela fica presa ao passado e morre bonita, do jeito que queria, com seu aspecto de Grace Kelly no auge. E morre fumando, mesmo com o câncer no pulmão. Morre quando adquire enfim sua independência, após dois casamentos e dois filhos, uma graduação em andamento. Ela morre quando acorda e decide viver, morre cheia de vida e vontade de mudança. Entendo a morte de Betty Draper como entendo a morte de Sylvia Plath, mas ainda não parece justo. Não foi uma personagem amada, mas com certeza foi tão complexa quanto Don Draper, estrela da série. Mad Men não existiria se, no lugar de Betty, Don tivesse feito terapia (e entendesse que nem fazia sentido trair a esposa). Mad Men termina com Don meditando e transcendendo, que lindo. Gosto dessa série porque ela é igualzinha a vida real: homens vencem.

Betty Draper y la maldición de la belleza en "Mad Men"
Betty Draper es un personaje desgraciado en “Mad Men”. Está atrapada, tiene todo lo que la sociedad le ha dicho que debía tener para lograr la felicidad y, pese a ello, es profundamente infeliz. Como le dice Arthur, el chico casadero con el que coincide en el picadero de caballos, en la segunda temporada, cuando Betty va a montar: “Eres insondablemente triste”. Por supuesto, ella lo niega porque…

I just remembered that were was an entire arc on Mad Men in which actual IRL person Conrad Hilton had the biggest crush on Don Draper and it led to Don and Betty going to Italy and exploring non-vanilla sex for the first time...

Los adictos en "Mad Men"
Don Draper se levanta tumbado en el suelo castigado por una resca de espanto. Lo que empieza como placer acaba como tortura. Los principales personajes de la serie “Mad Men” son adictos al alcohol, al tabaco, al sexo, al trabajo, a la heroína, al dinero.
El creativo Freddy Rumssey bebe demasiado. Todo el mundo lo sabe. Pero una mañana, cuando está preparando con Pete y Peggy y Salvatore la…

Matthew: Taerae and I have become besties. Our friendship is in a really good place honestly
Matthew: Last week I said ‘Did you know the weiner dog is neither a weiner nor a dog?’
Matthew: And instead of saying 'Shut up, Matthew’ like he used to, he said 'Okay’

honestly i think don lying his way into the job at sterling cooper is the first time the flashback device has felt like. fully justified to me lol the stuff with his childhood was always like, well we already understood the emotional contours of this from everything shown in the present. & the ones with anna (?) were whatever, & edited in a way that made them hard to follow. but the idea of don as like an optimistic dreamer whose cynicism begins with his own lie being believed is good like that just works well for both the character & the overall narrative of the show. you do always have that slight edge of disdain for his colleagues in hamm's performance & his ability to see through a lot of bullshit but total inability to escape it, because he is ultimately just as invested in it as someone who believes it naïvely. a bit of a molière character in that sense. anyway it's a good detail for the whole "you create your own reality" theme, like for that eye-opener to be one that don fundamentally brought upon himself to begin with. matthew weiner can have a little flashback, as a treat 👍

Ok if I could ask Matthew Weiner anything I think I would ask what he thinks happened to custody of the Draper children because I just refuse to believe that Don couldn't pull it together to take them. Like I know he was a bad dad but when their mother was literally DEAD I feel like he would feel the responsibility and it's not like he couldn't afford full time help. The idea of them staying with Henry is just odd to me idk
