Prime Video’s Fallout features four main characters, but apart from their distinct personalities, they represent something more. Each of them — Lucy, Cooper, Maximus, and Norman — corresponds to one of the most common playstyles.
Realistically, you can “find out which Fallout character you are” just by recalling how you play video games… Or, if you’re strictly a show fan, how you think you’d play.
Lucy MacLean: the Newbie
Lucy has a typical video game Fallout start in the show: she’s a Vault Dweller who has to venture into the scary Wasteland to find her family member. She’s effectively a new player and behaves appropriately — she doesn’t understand the rules of the brutal world outside, always picks “nice” dialogue options, and tries to do the morally correct thing… But we already see her get rougher as she gains experience.

Every Vault in Fallout runs some sort of an experiment on its inhabitants, whether it’s a social or a literal one. Rather early into Prime Video’s TV show, it became clear that something was off with Vaults 31, 32, and 33 — and in Season 1’s finale, we finally learned the truth alongside Norman MacLean. But there’s a catch.
What Bud told Norm was only a small portion of the truth, and the TV show heavily implies that the reality of the Three-Vault experiment is far darker than that.
What Do We Know About the Three Vaults?
The information that’s explicitly stated in the TV show isn’t plentiful. We know that Vault 31 contains the frozen bodies of Vault-Tec’s lower management; that Bud awakens them as they’re needed; that they are always in charge of Vaults 32 and 33; and that they’re used by Vault-Tec to create the perfect breed of managers.

Despite the popular misconception, Prime Video’s Fallout TV show followed not three but four main characters — but while the three most prominent of them shared their goals and crossed their paths on a regular basis, the last one was left alone. He’s often not even considered a main character at all, but his story proved to be the most intriguing and nerve-wracking in Season 1.
Norman’s Often Regarded as a Side Character
Norman MacLean, Lucy’s little brother, stayed in Vault 33 when his sister ventured out into the Wasteland to find their father. With that, his story as a minor character seemed pretty much concluded — except it wasn’t as he was not a minor character. Throughout Season 1, Norm had his own story and a hefty amount of screen time.
Surprisingly, many Fallout TV show fans often claim that there are three main characters in the series, overlooking Norm entirely.

A look at the list of my favorite movies from 2014 reveals the presence of six extraordinary nonfiction films, and that’s just a taste of the seeming hundreds of docs released last year-- not all of them extraordinary, of course, but all of them indicative of a trend toward the making of the availability of more nonfiction filmmaking than it seems we’ve likely ever seen in this country. And speaking of availability, the six I listed—Ron Mann’s Altman, Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson’s Milius, Orlando von Einsidel’s Virunga, Chaplain and Maclain Way’s The Battered Bastards of Baseball, Stephanie Spray and Pancho Velez’s Manakamana and Errol Morris’s The Unknown Known— were all pictures I caught courtesy of Netflix Streaming. (Virunga was actually produced under the company’s auspices.)

Exclusive: Legendary Pictures has closed a deal with Sean O’Keefe to adapt The Esperanza Fire, based on the John Maclean book about a wildland fire started by an arsonist that killed a tightly knit forest service engine crew that bravely battled the blaze. Maclean, the son of A River Runs Through It author Norman Maclean, was an investigative journalist for the Chicago Tribune who has written several books around wildfire disasters. This one described the equivalent of ‘The Perfect Storm’ of wildland blazes. The firefighters who perished were pillars of their community, which was devastated by their deaths. An “area ignition” that took the lives of the men resulted in the first conviction of a wildland arsonist for first-degree murder and the death penalty. O’Keefe wrote the Black List script The Paperman, which is in development with producer Joe Roth, as well as Riders On The Storm at Fox.

Literature likes to see sons as murderous rivals, but those who rediscover love for each other find it the most fulfilling of bonds
The notion of brotherly love has offered us mixed messages in the past few days. There were two heartwarming stories of reunions – one of the gorillas Kesho and Alf being reunited at Longleat after three years apart, and the other of two American brothers, Ed Muir and Kenneth Corcoran, brought together after being separated for 80 years.
Both the gorillas and the octogenarians were overjoyed to see one another again. On the other hand, the Gallagher brothers have been at each other's throats once more, with Noel mocking Liam's band Beady Eye as an "Oasis tribute band" after they covered Wonderwall at the Olympic closing ceremony. The two are in litigation and have barely spoken since Oasis broke up in 2009.

Have you ever wondered how films transport the moviegoer to another place in time? No graphic enhancements needed, just a great prop master.
What is a prop master you ask? Someone who's job is to find all of the items that make you believe the film actually takes place during a certain time or location.
From vintage clothes, to antique cars and all the way down to the most minute details such as the pack of cigarettes the actor is smoking to the napkins on the table. It is that attention to detail that really makes us believe!
I was fortunate enough to catch up with Ellen Freund, prop master extrordinaire. She has worked on just a few small projects such as Twilight, Night at the Museum, Vanilla Sky, and is currently working on the hit TV series, Mad Men. Let's just say her work has not gone unnoticed.

Robert Redford is on the side of the angels. But he shouldn't let angels speak platitudes in a movie
Robert Redford did not direct a movie until he was over 40, when he had been a movie star for more than a decade. His debut, Ordinary People, came as an impressive surprise to the public and the Academy. It was observant, heartfelt and full of anguished performances. And it was appreciated that Redford was concentrating on the script and the actors and directing with stylistic restraint and professional anonymity. The surprise now may be that Ordinary People won best picture and the Oscar for best director, when Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull was among its rivals.
That was 1980, and in a way it was a turning point in American film. The status of the director had been in the ascendant in the late 60s and 70s. Directors were thought of as...

It's one of the most beloved films of the 1990s, and it helped launch the career of one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Now, nearly two decades after Robert Redford's "A River Runs Through It" swept into theaters, the fan-favorite flick is receiving the HD treatment with a remastered Blu-ray collector's edition. It was for that reason that we left New York City recently and traveled north to join actors Tom Skerritt and Craig Sheffer in the serenity of rural Vermont.
Set in early-20th Century America, "A River Runs Through It" is an emotional tale of two teenage brothers (Sheffer and Brad Pitt, in one of his first roles) coming of age under the umbrella of their strict minister father (Skerritt). The common bond among the trio is fly fishing in the great Blackfoot River, and as the brothers grow and drift further apart, their time spent fishing together...

I love the film A River Runs Throug it and Sony is releasing it on Bluray. A River Runs Through It, the stunningly beautiful and moving family drama set against a background of fly fishing and the Montana wilderness, debuts on Blu-ray Disc July 28 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Directed by Academy Award® winning director Robert Redford, the film won high praise for bringing to the screen the lyrical and spiritual splendour of Norman Maclean’s much-loved autobiographical novella. Two-time Oscar® nominees Brad Pitt (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Twelve Monkeys) and B...
