Camminando ai confini dell'Impero.



Dove il titolo del post, ovviamente, è da intendere solo come un mio gioco di parole.
Perché il titolo di questo bellissimo serial TV della HBO si riferisce al celebre "struscio" di Atlantic City, la passeggiata interamente realizzata in legno che si estende overlooking the ocean about 5 km, from which Enoch Nucky "Thompson (modeled on the real figure of the political / criminal Enoch L. Johnson ) has built his" empire of crime "grease it with further 'Prohibition of entry into force in January 1920. Needless to say, the production of
Martin Scorsese, who directed the first signature (Extraordinary) episode, as it is superfluous to praise even the interpretation of Steve Buscemi : "Boardwalk Empire" is a series of high level, that - as soon as you start to follow - will catch you and impresses also for the magnificence of their sets, the sets, the reconstructions of the period. It 'so easy to suppose stratospheric budget, almost cinematic. Stuff that - precisely - can afford the right HBO, which is behind all the more impressive television series in recent years ( "The Sopranos" in "Sex and the City" up to real and its blockbuster as "Band of Brothers" or "The Pacific" , but also products such as smart "True Blood" ). But there are also many

Network "minor" (in the same way that a Dark Horse may be at Marvel or DC) that - facts and figures - a series as "Boardwalk Empire" could not physically produce it. Yet it is precisely where there is no money that can often take over talent and creativity to bridge the gap ... Take for example the

FX Networks.
does not have the power of a HBO (which has about 38 million subscribers!) Nor those of other majors which ABC or NBC yet - will be a chance? - It is coming from FX my favorite serials.
Merit of the authors? Pens, new ideas, screenplays Solid, tight dialogue and exciting? I do not know.
Until a few years ago did not follow any regular TV series. I had neither SKY Mediaset Premium (which perhaps did not exist, except Tele +) and the show is followed on the free channels, especially on a Italy.
Yet even at that time (without even knowing who they were the American networks behind their serial), I hit a lot "Nip / Tuck" , which followed week after week, being keen above all to its first season.
Also, thanks to a Italy, some time later came the shock with "The Shield" . And in that moment I did not know came also from FX Networks. Two out of two, damn. One of my favorites. Other that "Buffy" (Open up the sky and here!).
Years later, was now come to full awareness, here comes "Sons of Anarchy" , another pearl from the television, by those authors.

While writing my book on "The Shield" (ie "Thief, corrupt police" , you can still be found in the library) I had the opportunity - and pleasure! - To interview Shawn Ryan , the creator of the series, Michael Chiklis and , The actor who plays the main character Vic Mackey . Just
Chiklis, talking about their production of the important contributions by champions like Forest Whitaker and Glenn Close , told me: "extraordinary actresses the likes of Glenn Close arrive on set and find the best as they have ever played. And they go away so eager to want their own series on FX ...

auks all I did that (re) start the Mule. And even
"Damages" entered immediately one of my favorites. A blast so ironic as cynical, with a large but Glenn Close una grande Rose Byrne , attrice bella/brava (e gelida) che francamente non conoscevo. Senza nemmeno saperlo, scopro che molti episodi di questa serie sono diretti da Mario Van Peebles , che ho amato per un certo periodo della mia vita (parlo di "New Jack City" , di "Posse" , di "Panther" ) che tra l'altro interpreta anche la piccola parte di un agente dell'FBI che vuole incastrare l'avvocato Patty Hewes . Nella seconda stagione, entra nel cast un altro calibro da 90 come William Hurt , che a rivedere lui e la Close sullo schermo, nella stessa stanza, sembra to be back to "The Big Chill" , cult films of the mid-80s I literally worshiped together at "St. Elmo's Fire" to "Breakfast Club" and some other generational such ;)

When work and / or my child I may, in the evening (or rather night) I like sprawled on the couch following at least one episode of my serial at the time. Currently, I alternate a first episode of season "Boardwalk Empire" for a second of "Damages" . They are two different things together, I know. I follow both with pleasure, but - despite more than likely superiority of the first - if I have to cheer for anyone, given my taste for tiferò always FX Networks.
Why is small and tough, as I like.
In any field, from television to cinema, from record labels to the publishers. Because - beyond the planning, budget appropriations of marketing strategies or whatever - is based, live and maintain the power of ideas.
