Magical realism is a fair and wise method of analogy of Colombia. And I've to give it to Steven Murphy, the evolution of the term that developed significantly to become a wise dimension through which the Colombian society can be understood, gives a deductional edge and advantage for not only the DEA and CIA looking to arrest Pablo Escobar during the 80s and 90s, the American governments of then under the leadership of Reagan and Bush looking to quantify the volume of cocaine been imported to Miami, or even the Colombian poets who believe their country is so beautiful its unfair to the rest of the world, but also TV-show reviewers like myself. Because I perceive the Narcos, the American TV series televised by Netflix that dramatized the historical events of the greatest Drug lord in the history of man, through the lens of magical realism.  As its a literary style incorporating fantastic mystical elements into otherwise realistic fiction, magical realism secures refuge in the ...

Deflection remains one of the prominent cinematic strategies through which watchers could be caught off guard. Which may be a better and more fruitful response to a slow start plots. A watcher could be initially distracted with a line that's very relatable to the actual storyline, yet very skewed to another angle, in a very well-calculated ploy to ensure that the watcher doesn't uncover the central thesis of the movie earlier. So that when the watcher does, it'll be impossible to take eyes off the TV screen. And from that point, everything in the deflective part that has been shown initially, would start to make sense. Produced by Tripp Vinson's Vinson Productions, and Directed by Nicholas McCarthy, the plot of the prodigy takes that dimension, and its fair to say it has worked out perfectly. An initiation about a baby - Miles - that was born with a rare bi-colored eyes, who doesn't cry upon being needled, and starts uttering words at the earlier months of his ...

One of the most ubiquitous socioeconomic facts is the vicious influence of scarcity and abundance. Scarcity, when veiled with the face of poverty, creates tough situations. Tough situations create tough people. And tough people, courtesy of their un-doubtful, innovative work rate that was born out of necessity, create prosperity. While prosperity, as the other name of abundance, creates a very spoilt, soft core of people. And the soft core, create scarcity out of their unhelpful laziness that would be born out of economic privilege. There, the vicious circle is rounded up. Also the omnipresent nature of that socioeconomic constant has seen to it that its the same in the medieval time, pre-modern time, modern time, and post-modern time. And geographically the same. On the densely populated streets of China and India. On the deserts and mountainous landmass of Latin America. And on the greenly Sub-Saharan woods of Africa. Among which the neighborhoods in the city of New York are in...

At the time when the iconic written-by George RR Martin; Game of thrones TV-series was airing, another great written-by Aaron Korsh TV-series; Suits, was airing too. However, the series was marginalized and relatively overlooked by watchers, receiving less audience than it deserved. For surely it should have gotten a lot more than that. Though that may be fairly understandable, because any TV-series that engaged Game of thrones can be victimized and dumped by its greatness, its audience number and pulling power, even if the engagement is a mere common airing time. Game of Thrones - the epic adventure and medieval political fantasy whose poetic prowess and artistic product, in addition to the cinematographic, theme, semantic and filmic power would leave watchers reminiscing in a decades to come, is something never its like has been seen before. Irrespective of the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, etc. Therefore Suits, paid the price of being in the shadow of the greatest TV series o...

"On the 9th of June, 1993, the Sinaloan  originated-from Mexican drug lord, and leader of Sinaloa Cartel, Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, known as El-chapo,  got arrested, and was extradited and sentenced to 20 years in prison in Mexico for murder and drug trafficking. However, he bribed prison guards and escaped from a federal maximum-security prison in 2001. El-chapo got arrested once again in Mexico, in 2014, after the government declared him wanted and put a massive 8 million dollars reward on his head for any one who brings the news of his whereabouts. But he escaped by digging a tunnel under his jail cell. The Mexican government rearrested him in 2016, after a costly fire exchange, before transporting him to United States, where he's currently serving a life sentence. El-chapo was amongst the most powerful and richest people on earth, on the Forbes 2008 list. And his influence to the drug arena matched Pablo Escobar's. His net worth is close to 14 billion US d...

I've spent quite a significant number of my days reading the memoirs of some iconic historic figures which this world would have the honor of saying they, at one point, stepped on its hard surface. And I must confess, reading them remain unmatched, not because of what comes in learning from what made the people in those pages who they were, but simply because the action involves reading. So many people have tried, but its quite hard to put into words the feeling that comes with reading. The pleasure it gives, and the satisfaction one derives. It is simply sublime.  But recently, it seems reading has started losing the unrivalled monopolistic edge it has upon its ever-curious minded, history-hungry learners. For now cinematography is showing strong signs of competition to rival books not only in rushing-on faster to make cinematographic elucidation on the triviality in question, but also bring forth the historically significant happenings that occurred somewhere and sometime in...
