spent one afternoon and one night watching the last seven episodes of the first season yesterday, and I felt very happy.
The first time I heard about the show was in an interview with US President Barack Obama, who said he had seen the show. I thought it was some kind of historical documentary, but I didn't expect to start watching it after the first season, but I felt extremely curious and excited.
Nucky is a legendary figure. He is like the god father in the godfather. He is omnipotent. He uses his ingenious language, extensive contacts, and ruthless actions to help others achieve their goals, and also broaden his life path again and again. . And he is the dictator behind the entire Atlantic City. He directs the political trend. Even the mayor is elected by him. As a sheriff, his younger brother is at his mercy. He can even assign power to the Republican president. Candidates, using others to enter the White House to expand their power.
But his heart was full of remorse and unease. His own son died a few days after he was born, and Nucky didn't have time to visit. When he found out, his wife had been holding the dead baby for several days, and then his wife died of depression. His love life Then it falls into the game state. Even the most beautiful Lucy couldn't control his heart. The appearance of Margaret gradually awakened his conscience. He began to help their family out of poverty. He even "framed" her husband out of kindness, so that she had to Attached to herself, but at first their union was not happy, Margaret had no title, she originally wanted to satisfy her current life, and did not let the children call Uncle Nucky, just Mr., she promised to help Nucky Busy after busy, it seems that she is different from Nucky's former mistress in that she understands politics and can speak, lobby, and campaign.
The conflict between the two intensified when Nucky found out that she was unwilling to have children for Nucky, and then Margaret approached him again to listen to his thoughts, but at this time they were friends. But I always had a hunch that they would be together. They are the only couple in the whole series that has the possibility of reaching perfection.
In the last episode, Margaret appeared beautifully at the dinner party as she first gave Lucy a dress. At this time, she forgave Nucky and acquiesced to his invisible identity. Nucky also misses her company. , and the ending also stopped at the beautiful and quiet streets and piers of Atlantic City when the two left the nightclub in the early morning.
Aside from Nucky, I also like Jimmy, I think he will take more roles in the second season, he will be the next Nucky, as Nucky's thug, he is brave and resourceful, more ruthless, whether it is going to Chicago or Back in Atlantic City, he was just as comfortable, and he was able to escape even if he had killed someone. It's just a pity that he has been tortured emotionally. His mother and biological father are nearly 50 years old. At the end, his mother gave his biological father arsenic, but he found out and stopped him, and his wife's sexual orientation changed during the days when he went to war. , fell in love with the photographer's wife, and she had a good life with Pearl in Chicago, but she was plotted against her. After the Pearl was broken, he still couldn't stop her from committing suicide despite all his care.
But Jimmy went to college for a few years, Princeton ah... Naturally speaking and doing things are different from other gangsters, and the comparison with Al highlights his upbringing and intelligence. I think Jimmy will be Nucky's right-hand man in the follow-up, and the director should enrich his image.
This play imitates the movie "The Godfather" in many places, from the addition of Italians, to some familiar names, such as Johnny, the male protagonist Nucky is as respected as the godfather, and the gang is caught in the fire and sends people to surrender In order to spy on the enemy... Too many details are similar to the godfather, but the emphasis in the play is more on the ability of the gang to help the male protagonist participate in politics, ranging from the party competition between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party to the mayor's candidacy. They all embody strategies and methods all the time. No wonder Obama will read them. This is such a useful textbook! However, these methods and strategies are not necessarily applicable to our country. After all, the social system is different and the nature of the political parties is different. When we also compete between two parties, or when multiple parties participate in politics, we may have the blatant intervention and use of capital. The combination of the naked politics and capital of capitalism seems to make the service of the people less pure, but it is true that they need to do something for the city, region and even the country while they are profiting for themselves. Going into politics with assets and economic strength, I think, will greatly reduce the chance of corruption and the possibility of being manipulated by others. I think this principle is common to both China and the West.
