    • @enterthebruce91
      @enterthebruce91 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      One of the greatest things about The Wire (apart from the superb dialogue, acting, and directing), is the fact that the show featured virtually no music, dramatic or otherwise, the only music featured in the show is music playing from people's cars; no tense, dramatic Hans Zimmer type music is played right before a character is about to be killed, or make some kind of important discovery or decision. This show is so authentic and raw and the lack of music made it feel like a documentary more than a TV show: The Wire is CLASSIC and is in fact more than a mere TV show, it's a commentary/critique of American society at large (I'm English btw). My all time top ten TV series are:
      1. The Wire/Boardwalk Empire
      2. Banshee
      3. Rome
      4. Tokyo Vice
      5. The Night Of
      6. Sharp Objects
      7. Band of Brothers
      8. Top Boy
      9. Succession
      10. Breaking Bad

    The Wire is PERFECT. Everything about it is 100% perfect from the writing, acting, characters, plots, and more. Best show ever and maybe just maybe the best work of art every put together. And this is how I've felt for the last 13 years. Nothing will change that and my thoughts are without a drop of hyperbole or rhetoric.

    • @1chienandalou
      @1chienandalou 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I know! I mean, I don’t use the word perfect much, because with respect to what and who/why/how to decide(s)? Even with what I feel is perfect (in film, literature, music - really all art, but really all creative/generative activity like science, food, storytelling, comedy,…) someone can find “imperfect” according to some criteria or feeling or aesthetics or whatever… We can’t argue in some sense.
      But I do agree in terms of not being hyperbole about how special The Wire is, really more than a TV show, but part of reality, even more so than what’s real sometimes. Perhaps because it does come from reality - or at least the felt version of reality: remembered, resurrected, reborn, re-enacted, reincarnated…
      I don’t write flowery TH-cam comments much but it’s how I feel. The wire really has touched me, and continues to be a work of creation I love and respect.

He was arguably one of the smartest, and most importantly one of the most good hearted people, of the entire show. Fact that you still remember and pay your respect to your mom tells me she still taught you the good things in life, and gave you love.
