July 18th, 2011 Откуда берётся "Скрытый Смысл"

Есть такой известный попсоватый сцай-фай сериальчик про вторжение миролюбивых инопланетян: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_(1983_miniseries)

Его ремэйкнули в 2009: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_(2009_TV_series)

Вот казалось бы? А всё туда же:

Inspired by Sinclair Lewis anti-fascist novel It Can't Happen Here (1935), director–producer Kenneth Johnson wrote an adaptation titled Storm Warnings, in 1982. The script was presented to NBC for production as a television mini-series, but the NBC executives rejected the initial version, claiming it was too "cerebral" for the average American viewer. To make the script more marketable, the American fascists were re-cast as man-eating extraterrestrials

А о чём же был сам роман анти-фашистский роман Синклера Льиса "Этого здесь не может случится" из 1935 года? А вот:

It describes the rise of a populist politician who calls his movement "patriotic" and creates his own militia (the Minute Men or "MM", paralleling Hitler's "SS") and takes unconstitutional power after winning election - mirroring what Hitler was doing in Germany at the time of writing.

А самое сладкое, это, конечно же, отзывы тупых критиков:

Perry (2004) argues that the key weakness of the novel is not that he decks out American politicians with sinister European touches, but that he finally conceives of fascism and totalitarianism in terms of traditional American political models rather than seeing them as introducing a new kind of society and a new kind of regime.

Откуда ж им несчастным знать (в школах то не учат) что "дедушку" привели к власти на деньги с Уолл-Стрит добрые люди, которые в нём как раз и видели удачное европейское развитие идей traditional American political model. "Штурмовики" Гитлера это же просто ККК помноженный на бойскаутов и возглавленный хорошим демагогом, - мечта очень многих нелюбителей голубых, анархистов, евреев и профсоюзов в США в то время. Копи-пастил Гитлер не у американцев, а у Муссолини, но результат то всё равно был ПРАВИЛЬНЫЙ, американскому инвестору на немецком политическом рынке близкий и понятный. Сразу было видно кто там х...й мается, а кто "means business". Ну а new kind of society к началу 20-го века уже даже в Латинской Америке и России состоялся, не то что в Европе или США. Именно это и хотел показать Синклер Льюис: "НЕ ВЕДИТЕСЬ НА НОВУЮ ОБЁРТКУ СТАРОГО И ХОРОШО ВСЕМ ИЗВЕСТНОГО ДЕРЬМА".

Ну а тем кто верит что бананы за миллионы долларов остаются всего лишь бананами - это не только моя паранойя:

The re-imagined series has been interpreted by some reviewers as an allegory of the presidency of Barack Obama. In his review of the show, Troy Patterson of Slate points out that bloggers and journalists had noticed parallels between the show's premise and the Obama administration, and writes that "if the show is to have the symbolic import that we expect from a science-fiction story, this is the only possible way to read V as a coherent text. The only problem with this analysis lies in its generous presupposition that the text is, in fact, coherent." Lisa de Moraes of The Washington Post noted in her review that the fact the series was debuting on the first anniversary of Obama's election "was not lost on some ... TV critics" and also remarked that the use of phrases present in the series (such as "hope", "change", and "Universal Health Care" being offered by the Visitors) made it seem as though "Lou Dobbs had taken over the network, as those things only became popular with the current administration." Chicago Tribune reviewer Glenn Garvin called the show "controversial", saying the series was "a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the president's supporters and delight his detractors."

Как и положено в приличных домах - полная несознанка авторов:

The show's cast and crew deny the charges of bias. Actress Morena Baccarin acknowledges that she had modeled her character, Visitor leader Anna, after politicians but she and series executive producer Peters were surprised by the controversy. At a press conference at Summer TV Press Tour 2009, Peters said that the show was open to interpretation and that "people bring subjective thoughts to it... but there is no particular agenda." Bell agreed, stating that it was simply "a show about spaceships."
