After a year, this magic realism crime drama is finally back, and it is—
Narcos: Mexico Season 3
The drama has been broadcast for half a month, and has obtained a good score of 8.9 points on Douban, although it has dropped slightly compared with the scores of the previous two seasons, but there are still many fans who leave messages saying: "The ceiling of the crime drama must be it." ”
As a derivative of the "Narcos" drama, the drama has been well received by many fans since the first season of 2018.
The most important reason why the show is so popular, in addition to the film-quality production and exciting plot, is that its story is all adapted from the real story of history and even today.
Because of this, the crew of this drama is called "the bravest crew". Because the content of the filming is too realistic, they not only have to shoot, but also bear the risk of retaliation from drug trafficking gangs.
One of the directors of the play, Amat Iskarat, has been nominated for awards at many well-known film festivals such as venice film festival and cannes film festival for many films such as "Blood" and "Barbaric Region".
The male protagonist, Scott McNally, has starred in many plays such as "The Vanishing Lover" and "The Galloping Age".
The third season follows the plot of the first two films, set in the 1990s, when the drug industry was globalized, and tells the story of the war that broke out after the collapse of the Felix Empire.
At the beginning of the story, a plane with a thick smoke and a loud roar appears in the picture.
At the same time, voices kept coming from the intercom, asking how the man driving the plane was doing. The pilot, known as the boss on the plane, replied anxiously, "I'm going to crash." ”
As soon as the words fell, the plane shot straight to the ground, raising a cloud of sand.
The boss who survived the crash rushed out of the plane, but instead of leaving immediately, he turned his head to look at the plane that had crashed, as if something had not been completed.
As soon as the camera pans, the man who has just been alone has a large number of helpers behind him, and they are busy moving boxes of drugs from the cabin and loading them into the car parked on the side.
After a while, a man wearing a white hat walked up to the boss, reported to him on the loading progress, and asked by the way, what should the plane do?
The boss casually replied, buried it. Unexpectedly, the man named Manny actually began to ask if anyone had brought a shovel. The boss hurriedly stopped him and explained that he was just joking.
However, before the relaxed atmosphere lasted long, Manny suddenly noticed something was wrong in the distance, and he wondered if the boss had found someone else to help.
Hearing this, the man quickly looked into the distance, and did not have time to think much, only to see him anxiously greeting everyone, quickly getting into the car, and leaving the place.
It turned out that their whereabouts had been exposed to the military, which was driving to pursue them, and the two sides began to pursue and exchange fire.
Under the fierce artillery fire of the military, the drug dealer side was difficult to resist, and the boss who had just been dashing and wanton had to lie down on the ground in defeat at this moment.
Although the drug dealer is at an absolute disadvantage at this moment, he still did not choose to obey, but did not shy away from trying to bribe the military in public.
However, the conditions he prescribed did not have any effect on the outcome.
With a female voiceover, the military completely destroys the drugs, and the real story unfolds.
Three months after the destruction of the drugs, in El Paso, Texas, a group of people sat in a circle in a gymnasium.
These people are young and old, white and black. They all had different identities, but they were all surprisingly engaged in listening to a man share his childhood story.
From his repressive narration in childhood to the loneliness of his brother joining the army and leaving, to the pain that can only be alleviated by drinking when he grows up, the sorrow and pain of life are full of words.
After the "sharing session", the man who had just shared the story came to the garage and chatted with a friend. It turned out that he came to this "regrouping" sharing meeting at the suggestion of this friend.
During the conversation, the friend told the man that he had introduced him to his friend and told him to be careful because those people were not easy to mess with.
After making an appointment on the time and place of the meeting, the two separated, and before parting, his friend specially stopped him and comforted him not to be upset because of life.
The man, who still needed relief for a second, turned his head and changed his face, cynically getting into a car waiting on the side of the road.
The companions in the car quipped evilly as soon as they saw him, and the story just now was really touching.
The man, while dismantling the wiretap on his body, numbly responded to the jokes of his companions. It turns out that all this is just a disguise...
The story of the third season has carried out a lot of preparation and foreshadowing in the early stages, and in contrast, the climax and ending part are slightly hasty. This is also where many netizens think that the third season is slightly inferior to the previous two seasons.
In addition, the biggest difference between this season and the previous two seasons is that it is more "realistic and ordinary".
In the story of the first two seasons, the ink may be more about the big drug lord, but in this season, the story focuses on more ordinary people.
For example, in this season's story, the small Mexican policeman who insists on tracking down the murder of female workers lets everyone see the hardships and sufferings of the fate of small people under the big society.
In a world of drugs, failed governments, and collusion between police and bandits, the survival of every tiny individual is so difficult.
Perhaps this is the reason and meaning of this drama to insist on filming at the risk of retaliation.
In addition to the more focused focus, this season still maintains the film-like production level of the previous two seasons in production.
For example, on the screen, the clean and atmospheric set composition not only allows people to obtain a blockbuster-like visual experience, but also sets off the confused and desolate social atmosphere at that time.
Such a crime drama that not only loses the dramatic conflict, but also is full of documentary attention to the magic realism theme, interested children's shoes may wish to chase after it.
