They wash expensive fashions they can't afford, wipe silver wine utensils they never use... Every day they help arrogant rock stars, penny-pinching billionaires and self-serving film and television celebrities clean their rooms , organize internal affairs. Sometimes they also have to sleep with the husbands of their employers. For the maids in Beverly's affluent neighborhood, it's their day job.
There will never be a shortage of dignitaries in their lives, but the reality will always remind them: don't forget your identity! Don't forget that you are just a servant!
At the beginning of the story, the servant accidentally broke the silverware, and the rich man scolded her sharply. I thought that "Scorpion Maid" was full of all kinds of tangled mentalities, such as the rich being unkind to the rich and the poor's hatred of the rich, and then I watched three seasons in one breath, with 13 episodes per season. To sum up, the maids are not flimsy at all.
So what am I watching when I watch The Femme Maid?
1. I hope that
every maid has her own "lofty ideals" - to be an enviable American and realize the enviable "American Dream". Rossi wanted to immigrate his children from Mexico to the United States, and Carmen aspired to pursue a career in music. In either case, they'll pull out all the stops, even if it means flirting with their boss's son, blackmailing a male employer with a bad lifestyle, or hiding an addict's drugs.
Carmen's singing career was very bumpy. In the first season, she was disliked by the record company because she was found out at the age of 37. In the second season, it came to an abrupt end because of the death of her fake boyfriend. In the third season, Carmen had an extramarital affair with the husband of the female boss of the company despite dissuasion. Found out and publicly humiliated on the way to stardom. Every time Carmen gets closer to her dream, she will be slapped in the face by reality, but the beautiful Carmen is getting more and more brave. I really hope that Carmen can realize her dream in the fourth season, because she is so hardworking and talented.
2. Friendship The
four maids have their own characteristics, but their friendship is very deep. Although their physical strength is repeated day after day, the brown skin is very eye-catching in the eyes of the white rich, but they always help and support each other.
Whether it's Rosie injured in a shooting, Carmen losing her job, or Marisol getting married to her fiancé in the hospital, they're always there to watch. In the first season, Marisol pretended to be a servant to a rich man in order to save his son from prison in order to inquire about the murder. Others thought she was poor and pooled money to help her get through the difficulties, which moved Marisol and felt guilty, and even me in front of the screen was very moved.
What is even more rare is that the friendship between the employer and the maid can be like that of family members, such as Zola and Genevieve. Zola has been a domestic servant in the Genevieves for 20 years, and the two of them are more like sisters than sisters. Zola speaks directly and viciously, Genevieve never takes it seriously, and will care about Zola's opinion before he wants to get married again. In the third season, if Genevieve was not about to get married, I would have suspected that the two were Lara.
3. Respect
As mentioned earlier, Genevieve treated Zola like a family member, and tried his best to bring his son and Zola's daughter together, and did not dislike his status as a servant at all.
Spence is an actor, looked down upon by his star wife, fell in love with the maid Rosie, even Rosie's 8-year-old son also loved him. Every time Spence looked at Rosie, his eyes full of love and loss, coupled with the background music, I would be moved and cry. Why can not love together?
The rich are rich and wealthy, some are generous and tolerant, some are selfish, but they all have great respect for maids. In their eyes, a maid is a profession, like a doctor, a lawyer, an actor, and the profession is not divided into high and low.
Then again, the maid's job, living at the employer's house from Monday to Friday, resting on the weekends, doing whatever you want. There are lunch and coffee breaks during work, the employer's books and drinks are free to use, and friends can be invited to the mansion for dates and parties, which looks really good. I really want to work in a rich family.
4. The Powell couple, the wealthy
"living treasure couple", don't know how much they are worth, but they have a lot of things that others don't have: a palace-like mansion, a three-story building, a large swimming pool in the middle; gardeners, gardeners, bodyguards, Swimming pool maintenance men and maids, many maids who complete different jobs; helicopters, yachts, 4 luxury cars... The couple does not work, bickers every day, and travels abroad by plane when they are tired. The necklace that Mr. Powell robbed and gave to his wife by the robber was too valuable and too eye-catching to be sold smoothly.
No wonder Mr. Powell said arrogantly, I am a rich man.
What do rich people usually do? Read books, or read magazines or newspapers. There is hardly even a TV in the mansion. I only saw her husband watching TV fascinatedly at Zola's house.
The rich have large cloakrooms and even large study rooms. Every time Mrs. Powell appeared, she was always leaning on the sofa and reading a book. I really like this feeling.
Think of a sentence: rich people are reading, television is for the poor.
