Interview Karra Elejalde: "The protagonists of the series La Fortuna are ignored heroes"
News All the new series that you will want to see in October
South Korea has conquered the music scene
with
musical
groups like BTS, from the so-called K-Pop;
later he did
the same in cinema when
Parasites won
the Oscar
for Best Film ... years after other feature films surprised at festivals around the world.
Now the time has come when
a series,
The Squid Game
, triumphs around the world thanks to the Netflix algorithm. A
violent, surprising
production
with an aesthetic
that has nothing to envy to other products created in the USA.
The Squid Game,
in its
9 episodes
, develops a
fantastic story
that is very reminiscent of
The Hunger Games
. But actually, it is closer to the plots of
Battle Royale
and
Alice in Borderland
. Here, a group of
citizens who have a very bad time in their lives
are selected to participate in
such violent tests
that only one of them can get out alive. A very macabre game created by a perverse mind to the delight of
rich people who contemplate everything from a distance.
Hundreds of participants,
colorful scenarios
created for the occasion and a very simple rule: whoever resists wins and takes a pot so big as to forget about their debts forever.
Meanwhile, the tests are getting complicated,
inspired by children's games
that all those poor players remember well.
But
is
The Squid Game
as good
as it sounds
?
If we take as a starting point the morbid situation it raises, it is irresistible.
As long as
attending violent scenes in which blood spurts is
not a problem, yes.
Who warns is not a traitor ... That and its
remarkable production design
would be the most outstanding notes.
So, with a script that goes straight to the point (that is, to the action),
in this series there had to be human stories
. A hook that every good
current
reality
television should use for the
viewer to empathize with the protagonists
and that here makes us find
broke
brokers, separated parents without a clear horizon, elderly people with too many ailments or petty thieves. The social criticism is so obvious that it is not worth mentioning that the
individualistic drift of our society
is criticized
.
On the negative side,
the (over) performances of its actors
, who seem amateurs
, certainly
draw attention
.
And that anyone who has seen the aforementioned
Battle Royale
,
The Hunger Games
or
Alice in Borderland
may think that we are facing an
adaptation, tribute or copy
, depending on whether you want to be politically correct or not.
