>今年第一部好看又重口的美剧出现了？看多了今世霸术类美剧，就能找到脚色的范式：争强好胜的阿尔法雄性高举公理、社会公益、平等、从容成本等各类义正言辞的小旗，没有择手段地搞垮敌手；有时也有女性加入到这类游戏中去，不外性别特点其实不影响她们的行为模式。不雅观众热中于不雅观摩权利残杀，像不雅观看斗狗一样看着被包抄正在钢筋水泥修建的都市斗兽场里，两个或者更多的中年男性互相怒吼、嘶吼、捶胸顿足，真是幽默，最多比起看一群女待遇了抢夺与阿尔法男性的交配权幽默患上多。SHOWTIME新剧《亿万》（Billions）即是如许一部范例化的剧集，被赶进斗兽场的两位雄性阿尔法分袂是美国司法部长查克?罗兹（保罗?吉亚玛提 扮演）以及站正在风投公司埃克斯成本食品链顶真个鲍比?埃克斯罗德（戴米恩?路易斯 扮演）。鲍比出生蓝领家庭，三流小学卒业，正在金融界的佃猎场里赤手起身，播种事业、才子和社会荣誉，人对于款子的愿望是无绝顶的，司法正在他眼中成为了绊脚石，他锁定那些领有位置以及影响力的人，创造他们的弊病，捉住这些弊病，伶仃他们，碾压他们，压迫自身想要的价钱。查克出生世家，中年谢顶，啤酒肚裸露了他小我拾掇没有善，若干有失落面子，自夸为公理使臣的查克正在法则的层面上无往不堪，他想要灭失落搞鬼的埃克斯罗德，他锁定那些有弊病的人、碾压他们、完成法庭上的失利，失利就是公理。司法部长查克以及财主鲍比单方的手段都十分恶毒，但从皮相上看，这场较劲仍旧看下去十分面子。宫斗里那些皇上御赐的饰物、衣料等较劲的表征正在华尔街这个场域直达化成为了价钱六个亿的豪宅、兰博基尼跑车以及喷气式私家飞机，标的越小，较劲就越激烈，看着两个男性互相致以羊驼的问候确切是不外瘾，若何搞垮对于方，直到一方面朝小海、自挂西北枝，才是不雅观众最等候的。真正的小寒潮来了，金融的寒潮尚无退去，全世界人平易近正在经济没有景气的小后台下也不思索过若何抱团取暖和，而是正在揣摩若何干失落敌手夺过他的貂皮小衣。美国金融板块头条仍旧充溢着“协作性失利”“选择性规制”如许的字眼，不雅观众或者许等候一部金融题材美剧可以或许像《新闻编撰室》一样戳穿一些问题，但当鲍比正在第一集里问出“从何时入手下手顺遂正在美国同样成为一项罪名”的时辰，不雅观众就该认识到，《亿万》是一部纯粹以霸术为透露表现主题的美剧，美国证券买卖委员会的头儿被塑形成一个年夜丑一样的脚色，法学院传授屈就于一年夜时上千美元的垂问费，有志于普利策新闻奖的记者随意被一顿特权午饭收购……除了了肩胛肉（司法部长之名Chuck）与斧子（埃克斯罗德成本axe）之间硬碰硬的和平，《亿万》其实不想涉及任何实践问题，虽然除了了靠充溢荤段子的俏皮台词文娱不雅观众，SHOWTIME也没有想拾掇问题。像所有华尔街题材影视剧――譬喻《华尔街》或者是《华尔街之狼》一样，《亿万》的表演威望可谓近期美剧中最黑的，这或者许是整部剧中最真正的局部了――巅峰对于决永世正在黑人男性之间睁开，有色人种以及女性正在如许一触即发的场所仍旧只能充任配饰，尽量整部剧中的最出彩的脚色属于玛吉?斯蒂夫扮演的温迪?罗兹。从《兄弟连》与《河山保险》走出的戴米恩?路易斯和扮演过一众主角的保罗?吉亚玛提的上演虽然好，男性心理的脆弱、正在款子与彰显男性实力方面无奈按捺的愿望都以多样的内容被展示进去，但仍旧是规行矩步的，两个重要的男性脚色毫无新意，咱们曾一次次正在各类题材的影视剧中见过了，反而是残留有一丝《告白狂人》神韵的玛吉?斯蒂夫的脚色有点陈旧感。温迪?罗兹的脚色设定仍旧不解脱女性脚色惯有的浮现体式格局，要末是谁的老婆，要末是谁的上司，温迪既是查克?罗兹的老婆又是鲍比?埃克斯罗德的上司，她是前司法部员工，以后跑到埃克斯成本做起了心灵导师，专门拾掇员工决心信念不够、率领踌躇要没有要剁手等等问题――当然导师鼓动勉励民心的体式格局与《华尔街之狼》里马修?麦康纳如出一辙，捶胸自擂。这个周旋正在对于立面之间的女性脚色有着多样性、简朴性与自力性，比起鲍比身旁强势的“麦克黑夫人”愈加平面。编剧真的把后者作为一个规范配备，只需正在想起来的时辰才有时提醒一下不雅观众，这个叫做拉娜的金发美男同时是鲍比强无力的事业同伴而不单仅只负责帮手不雅观众意识到鲍比有一个完美的资产阶层家庭。SHOWTIME正在建筑方面透露表现出向奖项进军的野心，美国各小媒体都正在《亿万》第一集播出以后有心叵测的提示HBO以及Netflix竞争敌手的酣睡。与之呼应成趣的是，美国媒体正在必然剧集建筑自身的同时，又唱衰本剧，点破它的清淡。对于于宁靖洋这一真个中国不雅观众而言，《亿万》仍旧颇具看点，豪车、豪宅和司法部长的夜间情味游戏……看腻了“朕有喜”，就请换个口胃，来看阿尔法雄性的霸术游戏。相关电影：《》《》《》《》《》相关资讯：上一篇: 下一篇:最新上映最新推荐热门排行网络推荐Jacki Wea..周润发周星驰 李思臻 何..郭富城 巩俐 冯绍..高广泽 李继龙沙鹰 唐骏BD中英双字BD高清HD高清BD高清HD高清BD高清BD高清HD国语中字BD日语中字Jacki Wea..周星驰 李思臻 何..周润发郭富城 巩俐 冯绍..张国立 姚晨 窦骁..江口洋介 本木雅弘..第4集BD中英双字BDBDBD高清HD高清HD高清BD高清HD高清Hyo-ju Ha..西蒙?佩吉 Kat..余文乐 冼色丽 樊..Maria For..郭达 曹随风 三强萨日娜 杜雨露 徐..田雨娇 呼延晓辉 ..Madonna A..扎克?加利凡纳基斯..雷?怀斯 德里克?..保罗?纽曼 乔治?..橘梨纱 陈嘉佳 莫..BD高清DVDDVDHD高清馆藏&18759

词汇：success 成功
Have you ever fancied sailing around the world in your own yacht or buying a holiday home in the Caribbean? Well, before you get too excited, it may help to find out if you have what it takes to become a billionaire.
We've all heard stories of school drop-outs who have made their fortune, but are they the norm or an exception to the rule? Do they tend to be university graduates or self-made entrepreneurs? Are they married or single?
Thanks to a recent analysis of people in Forbes Top 100 Billionaires List, we can now find out what the world's mega rich have in common. We know which star sign is the most popular amongst multi-millionaires, what percentage wear glasses and even how many are bald!
If you are deciding whether or not to go to university, it may help you to know that 76% of the richest people in the world have a degree. According to this study, of those 76%, 47% have a bachelor's degree, 23% have a master's and 6% have a doctorate. Don't lose hope if you aren't very academic though. It's worth noting that many of those on the list did not pass all their exams with flying colours. Microsoft founder Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University after two years of study. And Chinese business magnate Jack Ma, failed his university entrance exams three times before going on to complete his degree and make his millions.
Another interesting trend is that the world's high-fliers are much more likely to be married - only 12% of billionaires are unmarried. You are also more likely to make it if you were born under the most popular star sign, Aquarius, than if you are a Cancer - the least popular sign on the zodiac. Finally, the percentage of billionaires who are bald is quite high & so don't worry if you're losing your hair, you may get to sail that yacht around the Caribbean after all!
