A lot of fun.
... View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
... View MoreYou can't go in to Mad Men expecting explosions, action and guns. It's more like a high quality soap driven by the characters and their lives. If you love realism, you'll love Mad Men.
... View MoreAfter watching this show i questioned the existence of human life. Never ever have i seen anything this uninteresting in my intire life. I want to wish the producers of this series to change carrier and start working at McDonalds. Further more, i hope the actors are beeing payed a lot for doing such a boring series. Wow, they must be really needing a jobb to do this show.
... View More**DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE WATCHED THE FINAL EPISODE OF THE SERIES** I have watched the final episode of the series today. Mad men is a great series, you will certainly get attached to the characters. I had made a review of the final episode "person to person", when I finished watching it at first I felt disappointed because I thought it was a dud, a letdown; I was thinking to myself "a wonderful series should not end so vaguely", but then after some reflection, online reading, watching interviews with Jon Hamm and also the trivia on IMDb, I realized that the ending was very good and inline with the rest of the series. Also when the series started, I didn't get why Elisabeth Moss (Peggy) was the 2nd from the top on the credits just after Jon Hamm, but as it went along, I realized that indeed she is the star, the chemistry between Don and Peggy although not sexual, is a big part of what drives the series and "the suitcase" episode is arguably the best of the series. There were a few discontinuities in the story line. Although it is not as tight as for example "breaking bad" it is still one of my favorite series ever. The character of Betty was not very likable and ended sadly. Peter's development over the years was nice. His redemption was the goodness of his wife Trudy. I will miss Don, I will miss Peggy and I will certainly miss Roger and his humor and joie de vivre.
... View MoreFinally finished Mad Men,an outstanding TV show ,it's a 7 season one with 13 episodes each,it's a drama which takes place in the 60s filled with some suspense about advertising in general but contains a lot of relationship clichés,a lot of love scenes, i was really into it and got used so fast to the characters ,i hated some and loved some and was even neutral with some others. Each person in this show has its own flaws and qualities the main character is Don Draper who is a 40 year old handsome and Manly man ,who was raised up in a whore house and clearly he had a bad childhood,once grown up he got the chance to work in an advertising company "sterling cooper" thanks to his talent and intelligence and of course Roger who discovered him. but beside being nearly perfect,he was a damaged man always wanting to escape reality,he loves strangers ,money and the smell of new cars,he loves women,strong and independent ones,he made a lot of mistakes,he broke hearts,he hurt people including his wife Betty whom he cheated on. Don Draper is a complicated man,who doesn't love or cherish himself but in the end he got the chance to really know his true self and be more mature especially after the death of his wife. Jon Hamm is a really talented actor. Now for Peggy one of the principle characters of the show who has a strong personality ,she grew up in an old-fashioned environment and once she got a job in sterling cooper she tried to change herself to fit in,since she felt like she was the only reserved girl in the company,she tried smoking,getting out with men who weren't her type at all but she was ambitious and a little feminist in mind ,she couldn't accept the fact that men always treated women that way,they were always seen as just a body ,cooking and making love. she didn't see herself as one of those women,but in the last seasons she got to know her self better. Elisabeth Moss is one of the best actresses I've ever seen ,her performance in Mad Men was perfect. Peter Campbell as well is a great actor. The last episode was outstanding,except for the Betty part which was a little bit disturbing.
