Hello my Hive people! Today I hope you have a wonderful and successful day, I'm still betting on the platform doing what I love, dedicating time to my personal growth. Today I wanted to bring you a review of a production that has taken me almost a month to watch because of how complicated my routine is lately. When I started watching the series that brings me before you today, I didn't know where exactly it was directed or what it was about but after watching Halston and a number of other series like The Politician or Pose I knew that Ryan Murphy would hook me again with another of his moving and well told productions.
Set in the golden age of Hollywood, it's only natural that it's based on the lives of hundreds of famous people from the 40's in the last century, just after the success of Gone with the Wind, the best example of the movies being made at that time. Thus, with a bunch of familiar faces, Ryan Murhy and Ian Brennan, his eternal collaborator, manage to give a different color to the golden years of cinema, in their own mecca.
With several references to scandals of the time, they manage to convey the essence of the magic of those years and the rawness of xenophobia, racism and homophobia prevailing in those days. However, the series does not deal with these issues, rather it is an almost fantasy portrait of a longed-for era and what could have happened if the story were written by an ambitious showrunner from any major film studio.
I doubt very much that this series will have a second season but I liked the first one a lot, I like the way it was told but at this point I think I'm stretching too much, so you better read this review that I have prepared for you today.
隆Hola m铆 gente de Hive! Hoy espero que tengan un d铆a maravilloso y lleno de 茅xitos, sigo apostando por la plataforma haciendo lo que me gusta, dedicando tiempo a mi crecimiento personal. Hoy quer铆a traerles una rese帽a de una producci贸n que he tardado casi un mes en ver por lo complicado que esta mi rutina 煤ltimamente. Cuando comenc茅 a ver la serie que hoy me trae ante ustedes, no sab铆a hacia donde exactamente estaba dirigida o de que trataba pero despu茅s de ver Halston y un sin n煤mero de series como The Politician o Pose sab铆a que Ryan Murphy me volver铆a a enganchar con otras de sus producciones conmovedoras y bien contadas.
Ambientada en la 茅poca de oro de Hollywood es normal que est茅 basada en la vida de cientos de personajes famosos de la d茅cada de los 40鈥檚 en el siglo pasado, justo despu茅s del 茅xito de Lo que el viento se llev贸, el mejor ejemplo del cine que se hac铆a en aquella 茅poca. Es as铆 que con un mont贸n de caras conocidas Ryan Murhy e Ian Brennan su eterno colaborador, logran ponerle un color diferente a los a帽os dorados del cine, en su propia meca.
Con varias referencias a esc谩ndalos de la 茅poca logran transmitir la esencia de la magia de aquellos a帽os y la crudeza de la xenofobia, el racismo y la homofobia imperante en aquellos d铆as. Sin embargo la serie no trata de estos temas, m谩s bien es un retrato casi fantasioso de una era a帽orada y lo pudo haber sucedido s铆 la historia fuera escrita por un showrunner ambicioso de cualquier gran estudio cinematogr谩fico.
Dudo mucho que esta serie tenga segunda temporada pero la primera me ha gustado mucho, me gusta la manera en la que fue contada pero a este punto creo que estoy extendi茅ndome mucho, as铆 que mejor lean esta rese帽a que hoy he preparado para ustedes.

Hollywood es una miniserie de 7 cap铆tulos estrenada en 2020 por la compa帽铆a de streaming Netflix, Ryan Murphy y Ian Brennan crearon y escribieron los guiones bajo la producci贸n de la compa帽铆a Ryan Murphy Television. La cinematografia estuvo a cargo de Simon Dennis y Blake McClure.
Fue protagonizada por un selecto grupo de actores algunos ya conocidos colaboradores de Murphy entre los cuales destacan David Corenswet, Darren Criss, Laura Harrier, Joe Mantello, Dylan McDermott, Jake Picking, Jeremy Pope, Holland Taylor, Samara Weaving, Patti LuPone y el gran Jim Parsons.
Handsome young aspiring actor Jack Castello (David Corenswet), is ready to fulfill his dreams after fighting in World War II. He and his wife Henrietta (Maude Apatow) have moved to Los Angeles so Jack can make his dream come true: that of being a movie star. While she works at Schwab Pharmaceuticals, he goes to Ace Studios every morning to see if he can get work as an extra or hopefully be discovered by one of those famous agents.
Seeing the difficulty of achieving stardom, Jack suddenly finds himself working in a male prostitution ring disguised as a gas station alongside him another young dreamer and screenwriter Archie Coleman (Jeremy Pope). Their pimp Ernie (Dylan McDermott) instructs them to cater to all kinds of customers who say the keyword "Dreamland" in one of these appointments Jack meets Avis Amberg (Patti LuPone), the wife of the owner of Ace Pictures. Archie meets the love of his life Rock Hudson (Jake Picking).
Soon, life smiles on Jack and Archie and when they least expect it, they are working in a studio. Jack joins Camille (Laura Harrier) and Amberg's whimsical daughter Claire (Samara Weaving) on the Ace crew, which is directed by Ellen Kincaid (Holland Taylor); while the script Archie has written based on the tragic story of a white girl is assigned to young director Raymond Ainsley (Darren Criss), who gives the lead roles to Jack, Claire and his girlfriend Camille. This is how they manage to get the green light for a controversial film written by a black man, homosexual and starring a black woman involved in an interracial relationship, all of which would have been impossible in the era in which it was set, but Hollywood pulls it off. Will they manage to pull off such a difficult film amidst the pressure? There is still much to be discovered in Hollywood.
El joven y guapo aspirante a actor Jack Castello (David Corenswet), est谩 listo para cumplir sus sue帽os despu茅s de luchar en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. 脡l y su esposa Henrietta (Maude Apatow) se han mudado a Los 脕ngeles para que Jack pueda hacer su sue帽o realidad: el de ser una estrella de cine. Mientras ella trabaja en la Farmarcia Schwab, 茅l acude cada ma帽ana a los Estudios Ace para ver si consigue trabajo como extra o con suerte ser descubierto por uno de aquellos famosos agentes.
Al ver la dificultad que supone lograr el estrellato, Jack de repente se encuentra trabajando en una red de prostituci贸n masculina disfrazada de estaci贸n de gasolina junto a 茅l otro joven so帽ador y guionista Archie Coleman (Jeremy Pope). Su proxeneta Ernie (Dylan McDermott) les instruye todo para que atiendan a todo tipo de clientes que digan la palabra clave "Dreamland" Para铆so en espa帽ol, en una de esas citas Jack conoce a Avis Amberg (Patti LuPone), la esposa del due帽o de Ace Pictures. Por su parte Archie conoce al amor de su vida Rock Hudson (Jake Picking).
Sin embargo, pronto la vida les sonreir谩 a Jack y Archie y cuando menos lo esperaban est谩n trabajando en un estudio. Jack se une a Camille (Laura Harrier) y a la caprichosa hija de Amberg, Claire (Samara Weaving), para integrar el equipo de trabajo de Ace, el cual es dirigido por Ellen Kincaid (Holland Taylor); mientras que el gui贸n que Archie ha escrito bas谩ndose en la tr谩gica historia de una chica blanca es asignado al joven director Raymond Ainsley (Darren Criss), quien da los papeles principales a Jack, Claire y a su novia Camille. Es as铆 como logran conseguir luz verde para una pol茅mica pel铆cula escrita por un hombre negro, homosexual y protagonizada por una mujer negra envuelta en una relaci贸n interracial, todo esto hubiera sido habr铆a sido imposible en la 茅poca en la que fue ambientada, pero Hollywood lo consigue. 驴Lograran llevar a cabo una pel铆cula tan dif铆cil en medio de la presi贸n? Todav铆a hay mucho por descubrir en Hollywood.
The most remarkable thing about this Murphy and Brennan production is that their version of Hollywood's golden age is more inclusive than it really was and this fantasy was trashed by critics, to my mind it is a tribute to how things would have been different if perhaps they had been different. Artistic license is the order of the day but what did they expect? Not even The Crown has escaped from drawing reality to make it more digestible, although there is always the risk that the new generations believe that it is a reality presented by these productions.
Murphy was clearly inspired by the classic Hollywood of that era, having the big budget allocated by Netflix to evoke the era of cinema he loves. So he tries to have the face of countless real stars by rewriting the past at will until he gets it to adhere to modern standards of diversity and representation. This is how instead of confronting the true reality that prevailed at the time Murphy simply replaces it with something more acceptable and dreamed up that simply didn't exist.
So in this alternate reality Archie a black and gay screenwriter will succeed with his movie, we will also see his boyfriend a fictionalized version of actor and heartthrob Rock Hudson played by Jake Picking who chooses not to hide his sexuality as he did in real life. Darren Criss' character on the other hand is married to a black woman named Camille (Laura Harrier), and it seems that their marriage does not cause the slightest stupor in the Hollywood of the series.
Lo m谩s resaltante de esta producci贸n de Murphy y Brennan es que su versi贸n de la 茅poca dorada de Hollywood es m谩s inclusiva de lo que realmente fue y esta fantas铆a fue destrozada por la cr铆tica, a mi parecer es un tributo a como hubieran cambiado las cosas si quiz谩s hubieran sido diferentes. Las licencias art铆sticas est谩n a la orden del d铆a 驴pero que esperaban? Ni siquiera The Crown se ha escapado de dibujar la realidad para hacerla m谩s digerible aunque eso s铆 siempre se corre el riesgo de que las nuevas generaciones crean que es una realidad la presentada por estas producciones.
Murphy estuvo claramente inspirado en el Hollywood cl谩sico de aquella 茅poca, disponiendo del gran presupuesto asignado por Netflix para evocar la 茅poca del cine a la cual ama. As铆 que intenta tener la cara de innumerables estrellas reales reescribiendo el pasado a su antojo hasta conseguir que se adhiera a los est谩ndares modernos de diversidad y representaci贸n. Es as铆 como en lugar de enfrentarse a la verdadera realidad que imperaba en aquella 茅poca Murphy simplemente la sustituye por algo m谩s aceptable y so帽ado que simplemente no existi贸.
As铆 que en esta realidad alterna Archie un guionista negro y homosexual tendr谩 茅xito con su pel铆cula, veremos tambi茅n a su novio una versi贸n ficticia del actor y gal谩n Rock Hudson interpretada por Jake Picking que elige no ocultar su sexualidad como lo hizo en la vida real durante d茅cadas. El personaje de Darren Criss por su parte est谩 casado con una mujer negra llamada Camille (Laura Harrier), y parece que su matrimonio no causa el m铆nimo estupor en el Hollywood de la serie.
But despite all this, the fantasy is also brilliant and I have been caught up in learning more about Hollywood from an ardent fan of its history, for example the story on which the movie Meg is based in the series is real and it was about the British actress Peg Entwistle who committed suicide by throwing herself from the famous Hollywood sign.
But Entwistle is only the first of many real-life figures who cross paths with the fictional characters in the series, others such as Vivien Leigh, George Cukor, Tallulah Bankhead and Ernest Borgnine also have brief appearances, in addition to Eleanor Roosevelt who also appears in one of the episodes. These characters, although inspired by real people, are fictitious characterizations of reality.
Queen Latifah plays the first black actress to win an Oscar Hattie McDaniel, who in the series becomes Camille's mentor, Anna May Wong played brilliantly by Michelle Krusiec is chosen to play a vindictive role in Meg. Jim Parsons is also flawless as Henry Wilson and pulls off a masterful performance as always, he is also inspired by a real life character.
Pero a pesar de todo esto la fantas铆a tambi茅n es brillante y a m铆 me ha atrapado el poder conocer m谩s de Hollywood de la mano de un ferviente admirador de su historia, por ejemplo la historia en que se basa la pel铆cula Meg en la serie es real y se trat贸 de la actriz brit谩nica Peg Entwistle quien se suicid贸 lanz谩ndose del famoso letrero de Hollywood.
Pero Entwistle es s贸lo la primera de muchas figuras de la vida real que se cruzan con los personajes ficticios de la serie otros como Vivien Leigh, George Cukor, Tallulah Bankhead y Ernest Borgnine tambi茅n tienen breves apariciones, adem谩s de Eleanor Roosevelt que tambi茅n aparece en uno de los episodios. Estos personajes a pesar de que se inspiran en las personas reales son caracterizaciones ficticias de la realidad.
Queen Latifah por su parte interpreta a la primera actriz negra en obtener un Oscar Hattie McDaniel, que dentro de la serie se convierte en la mentora de Camille, Anna May Wong interpretada brillantemente por Michelle Krusiec es elegida para interpretar un papel reivindicativo en Meg. Jim Parsons tambi茅n esta impecable como Henry Wilson y logra una interpretaci贸n magistral como siempre, tambi茅n est谩 inspirado en un personaje de la vida real.
But if anyone stole my heart it was Rock Hudson played by Jake Picking I thought it was a great tribute that Hollywood wanted to give to the actor, who died of complications from AIDS in 1985 after spending his life hiding his sexuality and that in the series does not hesitate to shout to the world that he is gay and in love something that in real life he never could.
Anyway, Hollywood was good, it is entertaining despite its fantasy managed to convince me for its great cast and its impeccable setting, if you are a fan of film history and a true cinephile you will enjoy it as much as I did with the best company and enjoying another great production of Ryan. For me it's a 7/10.
Pero si alguien se rob贸 mi coraz贸n fue Rock Hudson interpretado por Jake Picking me pareci贸 que fue un gran tributo que Hollywood quiso dar al actor, el cual muri贸 por complicaciones derivadas del sida en 1985 tras pasar su vida ocultando su sexualidad y que en la serie no duda en gritar al mundo que es gay y que est谩 enamorado algo que en la vida real nunca pudo.
En fin, Hollywood es buena, es entretenida a pesar de su fantas铆a logr贸 convencerme por su gran elenco y sus impecable ambientaci贸n, si eres fan谩tico de la historia del cine y un cin茅filo de verdad la vas a disfrutar tanto como yo lo hice con la mejor compa帽铆a y disfrutando de otra gran producci贸n de Ryan. Para m铆 es un 7/10.
