Those who like to watch movies must be impressed by the three Mexican heroes

Gravity's Alfonso Cuaron

Guillermo del Toro in The Shape of Water

Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu who photographed Birdman

Their works have a very strong personal style, and their content narratives are more imaginative, with different thinking and views from the world.

When I learned that these three directors with obvious styles are all Mexican directors

I have already heard about the magic of Mexico before.

More curious about what kind of water, soil and country Mexico is

Created a director so different from the world

Netflix's drug lord series has created yet another gold signature of his family's best-selling series

The latest season of the drug lord series leaves the magical Colombia of previous seasons

Came to another mysterious South American city, Mexico

Narcos: Mexico Season 1

The story of Colombian Pablo is too magical, and the personal color is too domineering

Against the backdrop of Pablo in the previous season, Mexican drug lord skinny Felix

more relative to us ordinary people

If Pablo's story is legendary

Then the Mexican drug lord Felix relatively more highlights the human nature in the personal process

The biggest thing they have in common is that they are both based on real events.

They all used to be drug lords in their respective countries who dominated for a while.

Felix was originally just a small policeman in a small town, doing some small business in private to earn some extra money

Say to your wife: If you tell me to quit now, I will quit

When the drug lord boss wanted to kill him because of his own personal thoughts, he just begged

After his death, to be able to tell his wife and children where he was buried

However, it is such a person who was ordinary at the beginning, not as domineering and arrogant as Pablo when he appeared on the stage.

have a shrewd mind

Single-handed formation of the most powerful distribution network in the history of Mexico

Unifies and leads the drug lord forces scattered across Mexico

Uniform price and uniform distribution of their drugs

Complete business system network

Arguably the drug OPEC

In Colombia, drug lords can control the official government

It can be said that drug lords are more dominant.

In Mexico, the growth of drug lords depends on the government, and the government has become a partner of drug lords. Drug lords are more like an empowered agency of the government.

Behind everything in Mexico, it can be said that there is a drug-trafficking government

In the early stage, Felix was able to become bigger and stronger because of his business acumen and overall view.

Felix wants to be bigger and stronger in the later stage, and the reason for this is very intriguing.

And that's exactly what impressed me the most about this season.

A place that makes me feel closer to the humanity of ordinary people

Relying on marijuana to make a fortune, Felix at that time had united the forces of major squares in Mexico

With the local police boss, from the initial tribute to a cooperative relationship

Why take bigger risks in pursuit of more profitable cocaine?

Is it just because cocaine is more profitable?

When people reach each level, the things they need are different.

It started with making money, then it was dominance, then it was control, and then it was wanting to take control of my life

Needs and desires are increasing step by step

Felix couldn't control many things in the past. He didn't ask for it, and he was easy to satisfy.

As he gets stronger, he wants to control more and more

The stronger, the more eager to become stronger, the more dangerous

It's the same for others and yourself

Others don't understand, when he went to Colombia to negotiate with Pablo

Pablo asked him

Marijuana is a soft drug and will be legalized in the long run

Cocaine is not the same, Americans are afraid of him, he will make you a target

why are you doing this

Felix said, if I don't do it, someone will do it

Pablo said, don't tell me this shit

Felix took a cigarette

I fell in love when I was 22

First wife dies of leukemia

We gotta control this fucking world or the world will control you

If you don't protect yourself, life will turn into a mess and destroy you

Felix wants to control more and more things

At each level, you can control things at that level

You want to control the next level of things, the next level you can get and control more things

You gotta get stronger, you gotta make it your own way

Maybe that's part of the nature of desire.

Felix becomes stronger and stronger, former partners become his subordinates, stronger partners become his friends

His level has also been changing, step by step

Until one day he said to his wife

You're right, I've changed, my life is here, won't go back to Sinaloa again I don't need you anymore

At that moment, I thought of the old white in Breaking Bad

Their original intentions were all for their families, and in the end they fell into the desire to realize their self-worth.

Pablo is the same image as always, and in Felix we see his step by step change

There is another character that has to be mentioned this season, a character that has decisive significance in real history

kiki kiki

Worshiped as the god of American drug detectives

It was also mentioned in previous seasons

Without Qiqi, there would be no later drug lords who dare not touch the unspoken rules of the US Drug Enforcement Agency agents no matter how rampant they are.

Kiki saved the fate of countless American drug detectives

is their talisman

Kiki, who wants to defeat Felix, is an agent of the US Drug Enforcement Agency who has spent a lot of time collecting evidence of drug trafficking such as Felix.

He and Felix are essentially alike at times

a man looking to the future

When he was kidnapped by a drug lord, he and Felix already knew the end

And the chain reaction caused by his ending was also unexpected by the Mexican drug lord and the Mexican government.

Would the Americans let you torture and kill an American agent like this?

crazy revenge

will be presented in the next season

If Colombia is a magical country

Then Mexico is the land of evil spirits

In such a chaotic kingdom of evildoers, even Felix, who has become a generation of poison kings, still wants to master more

In addition to desire and anxiety

This enchanting kingdom brought him deep unease

Sometimes the more restless, the more one wants to be in control

May you be a mortal who can have a little luck

not a restless king who wants to control a lot of things
