I was interested in HBO dramas every day and watched the first episode of this legend of the fallen street. Although the plot was a little procrastinated, it is forgivable considering that it is the first episode to lay out the background of the story. Still looking forward to the sequel.
This should be the first drama I've ever seen that has a sex industry as its main focus. It's pretty bold. The director uses the unique language of tonal shots to show us the economic depression and social unrest in New York in the 1970s and 1980s. The porn industry gradually rose and "boomed".
At that time, there were no small advertisements for cards, and it was very hard to stand on the street to solicit customers, and most of the money I got had to be given to pimps. Working hard for little income can only be considered enough to support yourself.
The characters of several protagonists in one episode are quite distinct. Frank is a bit smart and works hard to make money due to family pressure and occasionally wipes his younger brother's ass. The younger brother Gambles has a more lively personality. Female college students are even smarter, more direct and attractive. This is like a foreshadowing that may have a huge effect in the future.
Candy is the only financially independent person among the prostitutes. Do not join in and do high risk and high reward by yourself. I will send money to my family every month and occasionally go back to see my son and spend the rest of his time working. When she received the virgin, the boy thought it was unfair. She said it was her job and no one would give you another chance because you missed it. Of course, despite this, she still gave the boy a "second chance", which was a touch of warmth in this hot and cold world.
The black fat woman also gave a different plot - watching a movie with an older man when she saw the end of the movie in tears when she was sure that the man didn't need her for other services she would be in her heart Shake it up? The answer must be yes. The screenwriter once revealed that the show focuses on expressing what it means when there is only profit-seeking in a society. What will she change in the face of this "Platonic" "guest"? Wait and see.
Let's talk about this theme: profit. Everyone is focused on making money and making money.
Prostitutes who don't want to make money are abused by pimps. People who work in general don't make money and family relationships are affected. Is it true that people are open to seeing money? Actually, it is more like what this society has created.
People and the environment build each other up.
There is no fairness in the adult world. You may not make money if you work hard. You study hard or you can't catch up with the top students at work. But I look forward to the male protagonist turning over to be the master in the future.
finally! Table white tones and bgm! And the lens language! I like the scene where the virgin and the subway are coming and connecting the most is inexplicably cool! Looking forward to the follow-up!
