Still pretty funny that Matt Weiner considers the ending of Mad Men uplifting
You don’t have to take it that way and I don’t, death of the author etc. but it is still funny
@Srirachachau I do too! Not wholly but my first reaction was to cry tears of overwhelming catharsis and relief
@Srirachachau That quote going around is just one of his takes on it. There was a Q&A session where he fully criticized the idea that it meant anything positive for him as a person or that he would finally change. He just dislikes the idea that the ad isn’t coming from a pure place.
@Srirachachau I’d like to buy him a Coke. It’s the Real Thing.
@Srirachachau It’s very uplifting if don is viewed as a clear protagonist but you finally realise his want and his need is genuinely to be loved which by creating the ad he succeeds but if you want more from him it’s a guy punch (which also works great)
@Srirachachau I love how he also didn't understand why everyone thought Glen, played by his own child, was weird.
@Srirachachau it’s pretty uplifting for everyone other than don
