The boys — this superhero series 2019, published on Amazon Prime Video.
The project tells the story of the universe, where superheroes exist as the official unit of society. They are in the Corporation, are its employees get paid, somehow integrated in the police and, of course, connected with show-business and politics. The action takes place in USA. And there's no other way to be is not could. Next, you will understand why.
It all starts with that the average person, as we you, understands something unhappy: it the girl inadvertently kills one of the superhero. It all that this ordinary man (his name is Huey) begins deeper and deeper to get involved in the brawl. First he refuses to accept money from corporations over the privacy and enters the circle of desperate criminals who want to overthrow the super heroes. And our usual Huey, working in the electronics store turns into a high-tech gangster.
The surprise was that the series focuses on Huey and friends more than on the superheroes. I nothing knew show up to view it: as not watching trailers, not read reviews — nothing was extremely shocked as the creators of the project decided to tell his story.
All this culture of superheroes serves as a mass market. Each of them — this kind of brand. It obviously an allusion to the modern showbiz. Characters like actors or musicians: they are writing of the person that the people shavaet, clean biography, write speeches, create products like toys, to get more profit and superheroes, like, normally from this: they people are adults, get there a salary, officially — why do something else.
But all small steps to moving to show us what here is not all so simple. There is a secret history, hushed up scandals, and dark spots immaculate images a lot more than anticipated.
The cast is brilliant. There are little-known actors and more serious. In any case, each suitable for their role and all beautiful. With the special effects worked out carefully. It is obvious that the budget is not huge, so spent wisely and showed expensive scene in small snatches. Everything looks smooth, not worry. No sense of cheapness. Camera work, editing, too, on level. A lot of original semi-documentary scenes, great job with a picture of the life of a superstar. It becomes clear as the entire a huge machine and what exactly is a modern media personality. Jewelry work on the fullness of the world.
Of roughness it is possible to allocate more compressed storylines. Each of the main superhero is given the screen time to study of the character except one. It looks at least weird. There are silly moments, but they are very rare.
Why the localizers have translated the name as "the Boys" remains a mystery. I long indulged in the pleasure to see this series because of the associations connected with that word. District cattle and Russian TV series, you know? Why not translated or Guys, or to perform semantic translation? Would Desperate or something like that. But it's certainly not in the negative series. For word.
Looked in one gulp over 2 days. So carried away that I can sit for the important things, work and T. p.: See, I had learn that will happen next. The series makes a good attack on the superhero genre and modern showbiz. The story is clearly original all the parameters. A fresh look at superheroes. The boys tried to show more real picture, creating as believable a world where possible people in cloaks. If you think about close the spirit, I remember Batman vs Superman, Deadpool and the umbrella Academy. The genre of superhero films is going through very unusual times. In it takes more revolutions than in any other genre. Someone even can say that he destroys himself in similar projects, and something will be right. In General, the product is extremely exciting and original!
