Like the Dark Knight Rises has scene where Scarecrow holds a public tribunal ripped straight out of A Tale of Two Cities where the dregs of society hold show trials for the cities rich.

Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the new series of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Feels closer to our reality now than ever. Just because I was interested in studying the French revolution, the American Revolution, and Nazi Germany, doesn't mean I wanted to experience them all at once in reality.

Thanks for the show and I hope you give Bluesky another chance.

Just finished an audiobook version of Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities." The narrator, Gildart Jackson, did an AMAZING job of voicing myriad characters & accents. Add my vote to traditional!

My class got to watch a Tale of Two Cities and the next day I brought in my VHS of The Scarlett Pimpernel to show my teacher. The other classes got to watch The Scarlett Pimpernel.

Some day I need to learn to NEVER google anything about a book or series I haven’t finished reading in its entirety, or I will DEFINITELY be spoiled on important character deaths. First A Tale of Two Cities (150 years later) and now Animorphs (30 years later). RIP [redacted] and also me.

A Tale of Two Cities and Outlander books. I read 72 books last year...again, nothing too heavy. I love NYC in early Dec. Family is JOY!

For example, Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities opens with a juxtaposition of "the best of times" and "the worst of times" to show how opposites can coexist simultaneously.
neutral · AI labelView post →My entire hyperfixation is how Taylor is connecting A Tale of Two Cities (Madame Defarge) and the French Revolution era to her other historical references…to show us the bigger narrative. It goes from Greek Gods and Goddess through eras to Steve Nicks and then herself?
