One hand in my pocket12/16/2023 Inherited trauma is all over our children. We all know these things. We understand them at a very profound level.Īnd there’s also the notion of inherited trauma, which is very present in Transparent. It’s what Carl Jung calls the collective unconscious. And I think it touches someplace in people, that they have an experience, that they know whatever the content of their wound is - it’s obviously different than Shelly’s - whatever it is, it’s universal. The reason I am struck by it is because - I get emotional when I talk about it - we are all wounded. What I’ve been hearing from people, and I see it on social media as well, and also from people that I know - and mind you I haven’t gotten to see it yet because I’ve been so steeped in this play, but I will! - the response has been, to a person, that they end up weeping. She shu t those feelings down and lived in denial.Īlanis Morissette Shares Amazing Naked Underwater Pregnancy Photo There’s always this search to be with a person so that she doesn’t have to think about what happened to her. Shelly tried to catch up with that and is trying to reclaim her teenage years, trying to take that back, trying to find her voice, trying to find her lost self, which she gave up. So it’s like the incorporation of what might have been her children’s thoughts, songs, generation. I thought about that, how it easily could have been a song that Sarah and Ali had played around the house.Ībsolutely! And danced around to, swimming in the pool and singing that song, and blasting it on a boombox. How did they finally convince you that “Hand in My Pocket” was the right song?įaith and I had talked, and Jill and I talked, and they talked about it being a song that the kids knew and the kids played. I say this is the season of the peeling back of the onion. How did this get uncovered?” And they’re always thinking out of the box, and they’re relating to each of our characters. That is the laying in of pieces of things that you go back and you look at and you say, “Wait a minute. That is the brilliance of Jill and our writers. But in the first season, Shelly says, “You know I don’t like music.” That’s the brilliance of this show. I thought she might have something that was even farther in the past. Yes, I was personally, and I love that song, but I wasn’t sure that it was Shelly’s song. Were you already a fan of Alanis Morissette? Faith and Jill talked to me about it and they explained to me wha t that was about, and then I understood. Yes. Faith Solloway, who is Jill’s sister, worked with me really endlessly, infinitely, religiously and generously on the song, because I wasn’t sure that that was the song for Shelly. The final episode comes after a crushing revelation about your character Shelly, which re-frames much of what we thought we knew about her in the past two seasons. Was “Hand in My Pocket” specifically written into the script for that episode when it was handed to you?
