"There is no such thing as
failure, only delayed success"
When a Spanish show premiered on
2017, which had good rating in the start, as it gradually reduced and it was
about to cancel till it reaches to the attention of Netflix. The rest became
history!!!
Delayed success, just like the
photocopy machine when introduced had no great success, when Xerox took the
business of the same photocopy machine was a great success...the rest became
history…. instead of calling photocopy – people started calling Xerox copy!!!
same way the La Casa De Papel, became Netflix’s Money
Heist.
Money Heist undergone such a
transformation by Netflix, gaining the world's attention and becoming the most
watched successful series worldwide. It became so popular that celebrity like
Neymar called the director and wanted to be a part of the series, hence he
acted in the series for a short while as Brazilian monk.
(Neymar
is Brazilian footballer- considered as the best player in the world...for
dummies in football)
I personally see the success as the
effort from Netflix for a quality program. When the quality in the program
given a serious note, all things falls in the right place. I would recommend
all of you to watch the Money Heist series (Adults only) !!!
I am not adherent fan of long series,
and I had no such patience for it, but when I happened to see the first episode
of Money Heist - things changed for me. The dialogues, action, editing,
screenplay were so focused to the theme which gave all the promise for the
quality plot...the moves, the planning and the way it was executed made the
story line stronger that I finished watching all the parts in a short span of
time (till Part-4) due credit needs to be given to the lock down due to
Covid-19.
My younger daughter was asking me
“Why you want to see the story of robbers, they are bad people” Even with that
understanding I was glued to each and every characters in the series. I tried
to explain her about the European central bank printed 171 billion in 2011, 185
billion in 2012, 145 billion euros in 2013…and told her Liquidity injection is
not a crime, and we can’t say it as robbery – tired my best to narrate the
image of Robin Hood in modern era and sang Bella Ciao…Bella Ciao…which made to
feel that Dad having a great day during lock down…let him enjoy
and she forgave me…
The beauty of the series is the
characters and their narrations, all the characters made a deep impact in their characterization, The Professor - the brain behind all the code named
robbers programming the heist in a Hi-Fi technique with the typical classroom teaching - where the heist had the beautiful exit plan without harming
anyone during their operation.
I personally liked the Professor,
Denver and interesting character of Berlin – who at one point will declare his
illness as he would die soon, worried by this, his brother would then say let’s
stop all this and start medication for you…at that time – Berlin would say…” Would
you have told Michelanglo to stop sculpting his David?
There
was depth and inspiring confidence with the skill in playing the Heist like a
metaphor of chess game by planning ahead…ahead way ahead. Makes the Professor
character as cool minded, intellectual with the martial art skills aligned with romance. Interesting plot during the last moments of Nairobi who will be executed cruelly by Gandia in the presence of her beloved heist members, I repeatedly watched that part many times and amazed by how the plot designed by Professor to use Gandia - where he will be given the only option to show his bravery - is to see his son alive...I was glued to the TV while watching it for the first time fully involved
ignoring my mom call for dinner !!!
Awaiting season - 5 and avoiding all the spoilers - I have great faith for Alex Pina. He will make the season as interesting as the rest of the parts. I would recommend all of you not to get any hints about the season 5 as it will dilute the interest. The waiting begins....
