How indulgent is the private life of a Hollywood actress?
Drink wine as water, smoke as sugar, midnight banging continuously...
The above are still pediatrics, the bed partner is changed one a day, more diligent than the hotel sheets, and the male driver with a good figure does not let go.
The drama that fans want to share with you today is very niche, from Spain -
"Burning Madrid"
Arde Madrid
"Burning Madrid" is a mini-series, a total of 8 episodes, each episode is 30 minutes, Douban score 8.3, suitable for weekends to brush all in one breath.
The whole play was shot in black and white, a little bit of pornography, plus a little bit of comedy, and for a moment, the fan girl thought she was watching the works of the Chaplin period.
Director Paco Leon, who is not pressurized, is comparable to Li Ronghao, a team of people who contracted the director, screenwriter and star of this drama.
Paco Leon was born in a juggling family, the family members are very good jugglers, so he has a strong interest in acting since he was a child, coupled with his own sense of joy, he has achieved great results in the show business circle, and has won 7 awards for best actor in the same role.
The miniseries takes place in the 1960s, where Madrid is still in the shadow of dictator Franco.
In Spain at that time, the social atmosphere was quite conservative, and the traditional concept of three from four virtues went deep into the marrow and was vividly expounded at the beginning of the plot.
The instructor of the women's team loyal to the Franco regime, Anamari, is brainwashing the female students:
"If your husband beats you, you have to think, what am I doing wrong?" Because he beat you to make you remember that no one is born to be sensible, but you also have to learn to be smart. ”
"A good wife must know when her husband will become bored with work so as not to anger him."
With a sudden change in style, Anamarie is called into the office by her superiors to carry out a new task.
It turned out that the American actress Ava Gardner lived in Madrid for a long time, singing night and night, partying alcohol continuously, and her private life was quite debauched, drugs, sex and constantly attracted the attention of the authorities.
The boss hopes that Anamari will infiltrate as a maid to go undercover and gather useful information.
Anamari originally refused, but for the sake of her neurotic brother, she had to compromise and agree.
In order not to make others suspicious, the authorities also sent Anamari a fake husband, Manolo, to be the driver of Ava Gardner.
Although it is a husband and wife partner, both parties do not know their secrets, just cooperate with each other, that's all.
Not willing to work, Manolo tried to make money, and not long after becoming a driver, he thought of making a fortune by buying and selling smuggled liquor.
50,000 yuan of goods, I wanted to change hands and make a lot of money, but I didn't expect to open it all water, and I lost everything.
The owner of the liquor, a die-hard fan of actor Ava Gardner, promised Manolo a few days of grace on the condition that he was given the underwear that his actress wore.
This demand was completely different from the social atmosphere at that time, and it was true that where there was suppression, there was rebellion.
Along with Anamari as a maid, There was also Billa, one day Billa was crying when cleaning the room, it turned out that 2 months ago, she was tricked into bed by the scumbag, the aunt has not come, may be pregnant.
Bira began to scold and grin at the other scumbag, and suddenly the style of painting changed:
"The worst part is that it's going on in my head, and I'm willing to do it again because I really like it..."
This caught the extremely serious and extremely conservative Anamari off guard, unable to pick up the conversation, and prevented her from saying anything more. At the same time, I squeezed the corner of the skirt tightly...
In Anamari's values: some things can only be done between husband and wife, this is God's will, women should be clean and self-righteous, this issue is related to integrity.
After a few days, Anamari took Bila to the pharmacy for a pregnancy test, and because of the embarrassment, Bila could not speak, and rushed out of the pharmacy in anger.
Back home, use the "ancient" pregnancy test: grab two frogs and put them in a urinal bucket and observe the frogs' changes.
Every word and deed is full of feudal, conservative and backward ideas.
How traditional Spanish women are, how debauched this American actress Ava Gardner is.
In Anamari's mind, actress Ava Gardner is a very immodest American woman.
She drank wine as water, smoked cigarettes as sugar, and kept pounding in the middle of the night, never getting up until noon.
General Perón, who was in exile in Spain at that time, was actually a neighbor who did not look up and look down with the Hollywood actress.
Perennial military life, the quality of the general's sleep is very poor, and a little wind and grass will wake up.
The neighbor sang night and night, and could not sleep at all.
The generals and his wife visited Ava Gardner in the hope that she would restrain herself.
Unexpectedly, Ava Gardner was very rigid, and immediately changed her face and pointed at Mulberry. On the surface, it is a scolding dog, the general's dog is not worthy to play with his own dog, it is a gay dog...
She said that it was impossible to sleep, that it was impossible to go to bed early in this life, and that she had carried her dog into the room without giving the general and his wife any face.
The big house was still singing and dancing, the parties were continuous, the bedmates were changed one after another, and when he got drunk, even Manolo did not let go, dragging his clothes and saying that he wanted a shot.
On the surface, she is actually very lonely inside, not understood for a long time, and she can only rely on alcohol and medicine to anesthetize herself.
The fan sister saw the scene of her listening to songs and drinking alone by the pool, her nose was sour, and there was really no easy word in the adult world. (Easy to get fat, easy to lose hair...?) ）
Annamari witnessed Ava Gardner's indulgent life again and again, and began to autistically, thinking about all these years when she was constantly suppressed by her superiors in order to make a living, and seemed to have never been happy, never lived for herself.
The values formed from childhood to adulthood are constantly impacted, and many details in the play can be seen, originally she was very serious, and she was unwilling to hold hands with her fake husband at parties.
At the beginning of life, he was also extremely self-disciplined, did not smoke and drink, and later took the initiative to drink with his fake husband.
In this way, Anamari released herself step by step, and the fake husband wanted to make love to her in the room, and she did not immediately push him away, but hesitated for a while and then let him roll.
What shattered Anamari's values completely was Ava Gardner's uttering of the words, "What is unorthodox?" Castrating desire, love, sex, pleasure, this is not right. These words are simply the soul thoughts of the whole play.
After listening to this passage, Anamari turned back to the room and asked her fake husband to get on her.
In the end, whether it has succeeded in the base, the fan sister will not spoil it, and the brothers will chase it down by themselves!
The play, ostensibly a process of Anamari's self-repression and liberation, is in fact a deep satire of dictatorship.
The shooting technique of the black and white picture allows the audience to observe and reflect on the social atmosphere of the time from the first perspective.
A little, plus a little bit of comedy, no preaching, is worth a look!
