This play is also the name of the original work "Zero Zero Zero". The meaning of "0" is quite interesting (of course, it is also intentional by the author), which can be regarded as the zeroing of money, the emptying of emotions, or the expression of desire. Bottomless, even by extension, nothingness in the philosophical sense. I am willing to interpret it from the most superficial surface. The three "0"s symbolize the interests of these three "0s". The three parties are like three iron rings, strung into a chain by money and drugs. In the precariousness, they vibrated together, pulling each other and sharing weal and woe.
Because I am a fan of "Gomorrah", I discovered the play following the clues of the screenwriter Leonardo Fasoli. For TV dramas driven by plot, the screenwriter is the soul (for example, JJ's "Lost" , Vince Gilligan for "Breaking Bad"), four seasons of "Gomorrah" plus a side story "Siro the Hard Man" to maintain the unity of style and level of stability, and the creation of the script has a lot to do It doesn't matter that Leonardo is in charge. The play is invested and produced by Amazon and is filmed across three continents. The director and screenwriter are all gold medalists from "Gomorrah", and to a large extent inherit the excellent qualities of "Gomorrah", such as coldness, The cool tone, full, full rhythm, and the branch lines that have no urine spots themselves spread to the last moment to converge, presenting a complete story line that can withstand the aftertaste.
However, due to the injection of American capital and the need to face the American market, the strong style born out of "Gomorrah" has been adjusted or even compromised. First of all, in order to suit the taste of American audiences, the style is forcibly improved. This feeling is particularly evident in the first episode. The unique realistic style in "Gomorrah" has disappeared, and the picture is obviously brighter. The audience no longer sees the dimly lit streetlights, and the dark corners are described as haggard and walking dead. Drug addicts; no more seeing drug dealers living like ants in filthy streets and dilapidated apartments. We see picturesque small towns in Italy, neat and orderly streets in Mexico, drug lords living in luxurious mansions of similar style, wearing high-end suits with similar tastes, and having elegant gatherings with American capitalists in high-style restaurants, A huge drug business was finalized between talking and laughing. The drug lords are strategizing at the top of the pyramid, and while the audience is intoxicated by a large number of beautiful aerial shots, they gain a God's perspective, overlooking the good show. But I prefer the immersive feeling brought by the hand-held camera that is almost attached to the character in "Gomorrah", following the "Blue Blood" Enzo on his motorcycle whizzing through the streets of Naples, with Don Peter was trapped and fought in a small dark room; accompanied by Gennaro's transformation again and again, accompanied by the tough boy Ciro to sink step by step. However, in the next few episodes, the self-confidence of the main creator may have been restored, and the style of some scenes in Mexico and Italy has returned, which is a bit dark and shabby, not so bright.
Secondly, this play has the gold master's father at the bottom, and the money is not bad. It chose another more ambitious "Zero Zero" by the author of "Gomorrah" as the theme, obviously to take care of the tastes of Americans, not only the tastes of the audience, It is the taste of investors, high investment, high return, big scene, big success. At this point, this show is indistinguishable from "Gomorrah", but for me, who is used to seeing big scenes with American flavors, the latter has a more special flavor. Gomorrah is a small slum in the Scandinavian part of Naples, Italy, and a heart-pounding gangster epic staged in such a small place has excellent dramatic tension in itself. For generations of men and women born in Gomorrah, it is heaven and hell, a beginning and an end, where hope and despair go hand-in-hand, rising and falling at the same time. In the play, Conte bought a large number of industries in Spain. Genaro once had a bright future in Rome. Ciro also lingered in Bulgaria, Latvia and other countries several times. Mora" is a land of right and wrong, but the square-inch land that carries their memories and bonds is like a black hole, and you can't escape after all. This sense of fate is also in the same line in this play. The key characters in the three links actually want to escape from their destined roles, and finally complete their fate under strong thrust. Let's talk separately.
Italy: Mr. Don Nu is undoubtedly the character with the strongest sense of fate in the whole play. In addition to the unexpected use of stabilizing his family status, he is also paving the way for his grandson to inherit his throne. According to the ideal path of the old man, after the transaction is completed, the prestige of the family is unprecedentedly high, and it is also the best time to pass the throne. The pursuit of the police is an external prison, and the heartache of murdering a child is an internal shackle. The two mountains make the old man who is struggling to walk seem to fall down at any time. The maintenance of the drug network and the insistence on the family status consume the remaining mental energy of the old man. . On the other hand, the fiery grandson Stefano is not so much a demon to avenge his father, but a rebellious teenager who has the natural desire of the younger generation to smash all the old systems. Stefano knew that his grandfather would pass on everything to him, but he disdained the old system that his grandfather cherished above all else. In his immature mind, he was bound to become a tool for those who coveted the throne of power. By the time he wanted to understand, the big mistake had already been made. At the end of the story, the old man was faced with an extremely cruel situation, either killing his grandson or destroying the entire family, with no choice at all. The resolute old man accepted the mocking cycle of fate, killed his grandson with his own hands, kept his great-grandson, and continued his family and blood. In the end, instead of unloading the burden, the old man had to endure the double curse of kin-killing, continue to play the role of the guardian of his family and the drug-trafficking network, and fulfilled the fate that those who escaped could not escape. (There is a Belantong family in the play. The parent Benedetto was originally very loyal to the old man. Later, his two sons were dissatisfied with the old man's principle of "not harming women and children" and chose to betray and kidnapped the grandfather's granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson. The situation faced by Benedetto is actually similar to that of the old man. Is it to stick to his own principles or to condone the unprinciples of the next generation. Because he couldn't give up the kinship, he chose the latter, at the cost of the whole family being eradicated by the old man. The strong man broke his wrist, indeed Not everyone can do it, but can't do it, that's how it ends, that's the difference between a wolf and a lion)
United States: The Lynwood family plays the role of middlemen and civilized people, caught in the gap between the violence of the upper family and the lower family, as if walking on thin ice. In order to create tension, the father died in the first episode, and the heavy burden fell on the young shoulders of a pair of children. If you watch carefully, you will find that although the father is physically dead, the huge shadow still shelters the children on this ill-fated journey to hell. Before his death, the father arranged reliable and reliable contacts or partners in various places along the transportation route, such as Olma from Senegal in the play, and Arthur and his daughter from Casablanca. Don't be helpless when you're in a desperate situation. In addition to the accumulated network resources, the love and worship of the father, as well as the faith and teaching of the father are the biggest support for the siblings, so when they encounter difficulties, they always like to say, "My father always emphasizes that the first rule of business is ... don't pull, don't pull", then looked at each other and smiled, hugged each other and cheered each other. What's interesting is that the screenwriter on this branch of the story is obviously suspicious. The younger brother, Chris, is terminally ill, but he is very smart and has a clear protagonist halo. On the other hand, he almost relied on him to turn the situation around in the crisis repeatedly, ensuring the completion of this huge drug deal, and then saving Don Minu and the entire drug deal chain. When we were looking forward to the pale and weak Chris being able to transform in the face of adversity, rushing out of the predicament and growing into a strong man, Chris fell in a pool of blood. Chris's final death is indeed sad, but it is also a kind of benevolence. In the days after the onset of the dance certificate, I am afraid that there is only the word torture left. It would be better to exchange his wit and life for the continuation of the family business. good ending. In contrast, sister Emma's character is more passer-by. From the beginning, she took it for granted that she opposed excessive participation in the drug trade. What she didn't know was that her own shipping company was already on the verge of bankruptcy, and drugs were their only savior. The profit of 4,000 containers of legal goods in one year is not comparable to the profit of 1 container of drugs in 21 days. The blind man knows which side of the scale the devil is on. After her father's death, the terrified and helpless Emma ignored his dying instructions and let her brother escort drugs more motivated by the weakness of women, and subconsciously hoped that the men in the family could jump up the ladder. Something went wrong during the transportation, and they complained that the younger brother made his own decisions. In fact, it was the improvisation of the younger brother that allowed them to escape. If the drug escort journey was a journey of death for brother Chris, it was a journey of rebirth for sister Emma. Since it is a journey of rebirth, it will not be easy, and Emma's flower of rebirth Extraordinary cruelty, watered by death. The first death was the death of her father, which was undoubtedly a disaster, but she had no time to mourn. If there was a mistake in the huge list that her father took over before his death, both her career and her siblings would be wiped out. The second death was when Olma, a contact in the Middle East, was shot in a shootout protecting Emma and died in Emma's arms. Emma, who was originally pure, should realize at this time that in the world of drugs, neither money nor men can guarantee her safety as a woman. The third death was his younger brother Chris. Chris tricked Stefano and others into an empty warehouse, saved the goods and his sister once again, and used his own death to draw a brutal end to this journey of transporting drugs. . The death of his younger brother is undoubtedly of key significance to Emma's mental fission. In a sense, the kind and weak Emma died together with her younger brother, and the fearless Emma broke out of her shell alone. The last death was Stefano's death, the only death that Emma asked for, it marked Emma's nirvana, and that's why in the end Emma came to Mexico where the Leila brothers were bloodbathed The reason why the manor was indifferent when he saw the mountains of corpses, Manuel deliberately let Emma sit among the corpses of Brother Lyra in an attempt to frighten her, but Emma has long been accustomed to death, there may be no one, and what will make her feel scared. In the first episode, there is a small detail, Emma insists that the boys call her "Emma" instead of "Ms. Emma". Emma, who refused the title, was actually involved in her father's business out of frustration (brother). She is also full of resistance to the terrifying and bloody world of drugs, but it is also her destiny that those who escape cannot escape, and eventually become an indispensable part of this world, and she has also turned into a cruel queen who is pessimistic about life and death. One person, the fearless Emma broke out of her shell.

Mexico: Manuel, unlike Don Milou and Emma, doesn't seem like a fugitive, more like a chaser. We see him calmly, step by step, step by step to the throne of power in the drug kingdom. Manuel, a character with a peculiar inner world, is almost a personification of Lucifer, both an angel and a devil, always wandering back and forth between good and evil. He is a special policeman who fights against drug dealers, but he becomes a drug dealer; as a soldier, he cherishes the quality of loyalty, but he betrays him all the way; the soldier emphasizes the rules the most, but he keeps breaking the rules; he kills innocent people indiscriminately, but is full of sympathy for the weak; He longs for true love, but is deeply afraid that true love will become his weakness. Countless contradictions are condensed into Manuel's unpredictable, sinister temperament. His horror comes from this contradiction, and so does his pain. In fact, he has been hesitating, not as decisive as he looks. In order to clear his suspicions, he murdered a rookie player who refused to ask for dirty money, and he has always felt guilty. Later, when helping the widow of the murdered team member, love gave birth to love. It is interesting that the names of the team member and his widow never appear in the play. This should not be a coincidence, combined with Manuel's belief in God and religion. , it is not difficult to see that these two people are actually the sin and love LOVE in Manuel's heart symbolized. The two have been tearing apart in his heart. This is a contest of disparity in power. Isn’t that the case in each of us. The power of evil is powerful, and the good heart often only has one thought. In order not to be found out as an inner ghost, he murdered the team members, in order to protect the drugs, he murdered the captain, after joining the Lyra brothers, in order to embezzle the territory, he started killing people, and even slaughtered civilians after training private armed forces. The evil side seems to have taken over Uphill, unstoppable. But at the same time, the good idea of redemption has not been cut off, that is, the care for the widow and the child in the womb. The battle between good and evil has not yet been decided. If the love for the widow and the child can grow up, it is not impossible to overwhelm the desire. evil. In fact, it can be seen that the iceberg Manuel began to melt little by little in the tenderness of his widow. He should have secretly moved his mind to withdraw from the world of killing and live a peaceful life with his widow and the child in his belly. In other words, Manuel is also a half escaper, but just like the two protagonists above, fate did not give him a chance to escape. An unexpected conflict heralded the advent of war, and Manuel decisively cut off the paragraph. In love, he picked up the gun, completely blackened, and blood-washed the mansion of Lailai brothers, thus accepting the fate that those who escaped could not escape.
Lara Zaza said so much, and found that this drama is still worth scrutinizing, it is worth following, especially as a companion to "Gomorrah", it is still very good.
