I still can not believe how good they are now television series. And how much good can be so simply encounter (unless I'm just lucky to hit only as successful titles - the TV series freak me away). "Encounter" is the perfect word for me and Mad Men, the best purely moral tapeworm, I had the opportunity to meet so far. Actually, I had not thought that the TV habit can I even like it. And if it was not the case, then the adventure Don Draper and company would be alien to me. Because how am I supposed to know about them? It's not on television.
But why worry about the prices (the reality) of the Polish station, since it is Internet magic, with which you can move at any time during the early '60s, the capital of the world's consumption of the emerging ultra-crazy. And it's the same source, because the office of one of the agencies advertised. It's just that this is not criticism of consumerism is the theme of Mad Men . As is perhaps befitting the non-standard work, hard for me to clearly define what it is exactly. Perhaps the lie as a way of life, which suggests the show trailer. Lies and hypocrisy here a lot. Is based on two things: (paramount) to maintain the spirit of the times in which the procedure is shares, and fashionable lately in the cinema and television moral ambivalence. Cultural context, social background, and sometimes political, here are extremely important. Everyday discrimination against women and blacks, unrelenting fashion for smoking (who would have thought that could be harmful?) And finally drinking on the job. These are things out quite simply, almost indifferently, because it was the norm. Exactly the same authors approach the intimate life of the main character, who used to reveal a lovely wife to the left and right. There is no room for any criticism, nor to praise - it is only (or until) raw observation. Something nice for everyone, you could write. You Draper went on a picnic with the children. Breweries cans end up in the bushes, eating leftovers and wrappers are further broken down products of the blanket on the lush grass. Draper you come home. And what? And no nothing. Because I can only judge the audience. Unless of course they want.
Headlamp series but points to something a little different. Here's an animated character walks into his office. Puts the briefcase on the floor and then hanging posters on the wall next to the break up. After a while the whole place falls apart, and the hero is out of the building. Flies dozens of floors down, and we admire the background this time as advertising billboards depicting mostly beautiful, smiling women, who are the subsequent buildings. When the hero approaches the street, instead of the crack up - we see him now sitting comfortably on some couch. Somewhere staring rigidly ahead, with its inherent cigarette in his hand. Here is the story of Don Draper and his subsequent fall. It's just that - if developers do not want to judge him - none of them might end badly for him (sic). Leave the audience with only a suggestion, or rather an indication. But it's not just about the aforementioned ambivalence. Draper recalls Humphrey Bogart, in places very much. Except that unlike the characters who mostly play the cult actor, Draper is a man of success. Although hides a great secret, and builds a wall around himself, but not the way to go. A pity. This is what happened to me very much in Mad Men liked (past tense, because only applies to the first season), is a specific dense atmosphere. Thing like a dramatic, but here's the mystery, there is a threat, and the hero, after all bogartowski. So for a few episodes I was sure that I am dealing with the original, far from epigoństwa neo-noir. Like William Wyler and Billy Wilder for the grave he arose and breathed new life into old, black cinema. But ultimately Mad Men, the only thing about noir is rubbing, and finally from the convention for good leaves. What's not to say that the title ceases to be unconventional and extremely successful.
What's very specific, and probably rarely happens in the series, is fully aware of and quite regular neutralization by the authors of dramatic potential in Mad Men inherent. I do not mean that it lacks drama, but that it could be much, much more. It would be enough to keep the traditional continuity. And here, with very few exceptions, passes between successive episodes is always indefinite time. Sometimes a lot of time, but it's hard to determine precisely because the viewer any information on this subject does not receive (apart from the socio-political, but to catch everything, it would probably sit by the TV series on U.S. history textbook; Or, maybe I niedokształcony so, oops). Let me give an example. One of the episodes ends with a scene in which neurotic woman jacket and pulls out like a badass motherfucker truest pigeon shoots his neighbor, for his eyes. This scene was a consequence of many previous events, so it is called. very important turning point, and even highlight the occasion. Suddenly the episode ends. We turn next, and it's about it, because there Ileś time since that event has passed. Although just in case the scene was a suggestion that supposedly occurred only in the head heroine, but those are a lot of hops. Therefore, a not inconsiderable number of threads writers, like, forget the way the viewer a little distancing. For these important reasons, of course, always come back. Sometimes it has to pass some time, but a lack of consistency is lacking. Nevertheless, such temporary spikes hurt. But this is also thanks to them we can learn more and more characters and transformations that the prevailing sentiment in North America, the 60s In this example, we know the marketing machine that sold voters ever smiling face of John F. Kennedy and unusual climate pervasive fear, when the Cold War seemed at any moment complete nuclear annihilation. Add to that the well-written and played as a stray and get the serial, which would be a sin but not lick. Of them and other qualities Mad Men could probably write a good essay, but of course best to convince yourself. My heart still bleeds on the ground, mainly characterized by the second season, "dramatic play", but oh well. Something for something. And one more thing - the world of advertising turns out to be not so bad. After all, men like Don Draper, invented love and happiness. Especially for us, a very low price. Ironizując Yes, of course ...
