Mothers
who go through hell.
Some
women choose bad boys as mates. Some become pregnant willingly or not. Some
have horribly painful and difficult pregnancies and then deliveries. Some have problem children and all have problem moments.
With
a sense of humor and awe for all moms I present a trailer for the new Rosemary’s Baby (TV) because the scenes and/or trailer for the original movie, that I could find, focused on Satan and Satanists rather than the arc of the mother.
It is interesting to note how the director shows Rosemary’s humanity and
maternal strength through this whole story. I see allegory. Others might see a paranormal
thriller. Perhaps it is both, but above all and in an odd way it’s a story about
a mother who loves inspite of it all. Some professional critics have panned the new TV show and in some cases the book, but as professional writers we know and can use the truth to develop our craft. The devil is in the details. Isn't it my darlings?
