Just finished watching the prequel of the drug lord this season, the standard is still the same, very exciting. Although the drug lord series seems to show signs of decline from the third season, I personally feel that it is all because of the deeds of Escobar in the first season. It seems that the gentleman of Cali and the Mexican godfather of this season are not so. Magic (to be honest, drug dealers used black money to fund the presidential campaign and 400 hectares of marijuana planted in the desert are also magical!!) But as a Netflix pillar drama, this season is still very capable, and the strength proves that your uncle is still Your uncle.
During the viewing process, I found many interesting points, let’s share with you:
1. In the first episode, after the original boss of Felice was executed by the secret agents, he himself spared the driver's life. The driver nicknamed the short man actually has a lot of background. After Felice was arrested because of the kiki incident, his Guadalajara group fell apart, and the short boy Guzman took advantage of the chaos to seize power and set up Sina in Felice’s hometown. Royal Cartel, continue to call the wind and call the rain. This person was arrested twice and escaped twice. During the first escape, the prison guards personally opened the door to give gifts. The second time, he escaped from a tunnel driving a small motorcycle. He belonged to a well-known ruthless man in the Mozhong area. His deeds can be found on Baidu el chapo (Spanish dwarf).
2. Speaking of Felice's men and partners, in fact, many of the people photographed in the play will be famous people in the future. After the downfall of Felice and the disintegration of the Guadalajara group, they started to stand on their own.
For example, the brothers in Tijuana formed the Tijuana Cartel in the future (Tijuana borders the west coast of the United States, and the Xie Er group drove Feynman's RV on vacation during the Big Bang); the pilot brother and that one The uncle who used watermelon carts to transport drugs later formed the Juarez Cartel. This organization is the prototype of the Mexican drug lord in Breaking Bad. That gay gangster approached the business; and the Sinaloa Cartel of Guzman mentioned above. Sonora Cartel, a subsidiary of the organization, once appeared as the villain in the movie Border Killer.
As the founder of the first Mexican cartel, Phyllis definitely deserves the name Godfather given to him by DEA in the film. He created the pattern of drug crime in northwestern Mexico (the eastern region is mainly the infamous Gulf). The cartel and the Zeta Cartel, which was formed by its army fighters and later separated, have been affected for the next thirty years, and it has not yet been broken.
3. In the first three episodes, there have been several historical fragments of Mexico. For example, when introducing Mexico, I mentioned the Tlatelolco incident (Tlatelolco), which refers to a square in Tlatelolco by Mexican university students in 1968. Kang Yi Zhengfu was shot by the military and police for the corruption when he was bidding to host the Ao Games. The site of the incident was surrounded by tall buildings on all sides, and the exits were blocked. It was a natural ambush site. Someone set up a machine gun to sweep the area, causing about 400 casualties.
In addition, when the narration introduced that the Mexicans were more imperative than the truth, several scenes flashed back, referring to the Mexican army repelling the French army in Puebla in 1862 and the siege of De Quesa in the Alamo in 1836. The Pioneers fight.
4. In the play, the Mexican government’s ruling party RPI (RPI) is a left-wing party. In the 1920s, the party was formed by a coalition of bourgeois leftists and trade union farmers. After that, it has been in power for 70 consecutive years. It is a world miracle.
Under the leadership of the party, the 1940s and 1970s were Mexico’s golden age, and the economy was extremely developed. The Guadalajara scenery in the play showed Mexico’s last glory before its decline.
5. One more word, Mexico’s economy fell into crisis in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, the government adopted neoliberal reforms to exacerbate the plunder of the rich, and the collapse of oil prices made the situation worse. The North American Free Trade Area was established in the 1990s. The dumping of American goods filled the Mexican economy with the last pit. Farmers who had no way to survive planted drugs, and the urban poor who had no way to survive were thugs, creating a golden age for drug lords.
Mexico has adopted a tough policy against drug lords for two consecutive presidents after 2000, but the war on drugs can only treat the symptoms, knowing that the root cause is in the huge drug market in the United States, but there is no alternative. Therefore, such a war backfired, causing the number of casualties to skyrocket from the initial 2,000 to 40,000 per year, consuming countless national money, and smashing Mexico to nothing. The police were in danger. The judge heard that the drug lords ran away that night. The mayor exposed his body to the streets less than 18 hours after he took office. Soldiers broke away from command to form a drug cartel. More than 100 candidates died in the 2018 presidential election. The dangers of drugs are evident. .
6. The restoration of the era in this drama is very in place. In the first episode, the guy who was shot headshot by Felis’s dumb hairstyle, Rafa’s cos Scarface’s big lapel shirt, and more The old songs of the 1970s, the cult aerobics suits of the banker’s wife, etc., appear on the stage and make people smile and praise the details.
7. Finally, predicting the content of the next season, I personally feel that it will focus on Mexico in the 90s. Many people hope that drug lords will shoot the Golden Triangle. Personally, it is unlikely. The Golden Triangle is too far away from the United States and is not well-known. Secondly, because of Trump's appointment, Mexico can be closely related to current affairs and has a topical degree.
Not responsible for prediction: the fourth quarter shoots the Panna agent vs. Juarez Cartel and the two-line narrative of Juarez and Sinaloa Cartel's internal fight (･᷄৺･᷅)
