White Flat Screen Riser

Hangin 'in the Treme


If you recently talked about the realism and timelessness about Nurse Jackie, this idea reaches its fullest expression in the most recent masterpiece HBO Treme . Lo Treme is hyper all compared to series like Showtime. Each episode lasts about sixty minutes, except the first and last, and despite often convey ideas and cohesive whole, including submitting dyes occasionally episodic, "seems to begin and end at random moments in the life of a character, giving the feeling of actually achieved and strengthening the connection and commitment to the characters. This also helps that the first season has had only ten episodes and confirms that, despite knowing little if the series is quality, the small number of episodes of the cable series, in contrast to the generalist, benefits greatly to tell the story mode. In this sense, the ten episodes of Treme up a story absolutely perfect and round, which is appreciated every minute of every episode, and nothing is superfluous, almost seems unnecessary then even if Simon wants to have more is because there is more to tell.

has often been alluded to Glee when you've talked to Treme. Although the matter is trite, I need to briefly consider this comparison a priori forced. Glee While catching on television musical-or rather prolonged and stylized High School Musical phenomenon repeating the argument Popular- HBO has done, almost without anyone noticing, the final musical number . Many find problems when classifying Treme as a musical because the music seems more an accompaniment a tool to tell the story. However, one need only pause for a moment to think about the role of music in the series to realize that this argument falls under its own weight. Treme is a musical. It is also and perhaps primarily, a drama, but the fact that the songs, despite not being considered 'numbers', we speak of New Orleans, its people and its identity in the same way that the dialogue and stories of the characters.

Treme has a great melting pot of people who, through an eclectic array of stories, we come to speak of the same: the loss and survival after her. All characters' lives are affected to a greater or lesser extent by the great collective loss of the city of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, but each faces a personal loss that Simon used to construct a narrative that constantly branched underlying the idea of \u200b\u200brebuilding the city and of oneself, either showing a loss of business, Janette, Ladonna the desperate search to find her lost brother after Hurricane Creighton Cross or the city that no longer ignored. Almost always, despite the constant rebuke to take the characters, and the viewer suffers in the flesh ", there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, since the optimism and strength, symbolized by the unconditional persistence of traditions, the color of the holidays, and the music of New Orleans will be one step ahead of the sadness and pain, however much it costs, as the musical parade after Dayman funeral that ends the season in style. Therefore, Janette, and his eternal smile will launch a mobile food business to cater to the many street parties of the city shortly after closing his restaurant, Davis will soon embark on a fun musical career against the injustices committed after Hurricane and Ladonna postpone breaking the news of the death of his brother to attend the Mardi Grass. Despite telling the story of someone who does not get survive this loss, Cray, Treme concluded his first season as a poignant celebration of life, and is also one of the best stories of the past few years, in any form. That flashback scenes and the latest episode, in which reality takes over completely from the story, is confirmed.

As before, the second main theme of Treme is without doubt the identity of New Orleans, and not just after the disaster, but also before it. The first half of the series is more focused on showing how the city of New Orleans is perceived by foreign eyes, either through tourists who stand to listen to the buskers, and that must be happy playing for them the most emblematic songs of the New Orleans sound, or a great character as Koichi Toyama, Japanese jazz fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of all music created in the city. Speaking at "Shame, Shame, Shame" (1.05) and its subsequent return in "All on a Mardi Gras Day" (1.08) represents the differences in the perception of a city among locals and visitors.

Katrina's experience reinforces the need to protect the identity of New Orleans, and Treme this work is carried out all the characters, but overall, played Cray for a future winning John Goodman-who gets to make the voice of New Orleans is heard in a world that has DECIC ignore the tragedy of the city, focusing their attention on events broadcast by the media as 11-S. Davis, meanwhile, takes care to reinforce this idea, opposing clichés about New York City-the Thanksgiving parade, men in suits ", the authenticity of the city, offering an experience more real-and Janette will use to convince you not to leave, in one of these plots cliché that this time could not be otherwise. These two characters are the main ambassadors of the city that need representation and affirmation urgently, to survive and rebuild following the precepts that cemented and consolidated their identity.

David Simon confirmed these first ten episodes of Treme so far predicting several years now: it is on television, U.S., where today are the best stories, and more importantly, it is hereby where they have better .
