The series "Bloody Race" overnight set a new bar for fumes and revelry among television projects. The picture does not even try to pass itself off as a serious and multifaceted story opus. Like a number of other projects, “Bloody Race” was created for the sole purpose - to delight the viewer with spectacular scenes, scope, absurdity, psychosis and cruelty. It was in such a universe that a virus-weapon could have arisen, because of which people were dying from excessive craving for sex, or the cult of worship of V12 in Detroit could have formed with a chapter in the form of a supervisor. The actors of the series “Bloody Race” acted in the most expedient and rational way in this theater of the absurd - they lost their minds, at least the stereotyped nature of their images is not striking, and the game does not seem fake.
The plot and its conflicts
In the center of the 1st season of "Bloody Race" is America in a different version. A cataclysm of unknown nature left a terrible rift in the United States that provokes hallucinations and mutations. The law is controlled by corporations, one of which seized power throughout the mainland. The Heart produces everything from drinking water to cybernetic prostheses for soldiers of the Cobra, a private analogue of the police of the future. One of these officers gets into a story related to pumping blood from homeless vagrants. As it turns out, blood is not needed for experiments or transfusions, it is filled with cars, since there is so much fuel shortage in the world that they can kill a person with a canister of the 95th.
However, this is all later. Season 1 of the "Bloody Race" starts with an acquaintance with another colorful character - a racer in a red muscle car. A sweet sociopath feeds the engine of an unlucky rapist, and then hurries to the next stage of the race. Her bright feeling drives her - the reverent love for the missing younger sister, which makes Grace, so the girl is called, sacrifice new people for the glory of the engine. By chance, the policeman and the racer are in the same team, after which the same "Bloody Race" begins. If the viewer still has a certain connection with reality, then after the first episodes it disappears without difficulty. Actors of the series "Bloody Race" are given to the profession with rapture. Slink is insane, Grace is ready to strangle anyone, and the Barbie brings light and justice to the cannibals, who are mad with blood thirst and have their blood stained with blood.
Background
The actors of the series “Bloody Race” are in no way famous for films of category B or grindhouse. The director himself notes that he was inspired by the idea of ​​“Mad Max,” at least in the first parts. Dependence of society on fuel is a real storehouse of interesting ideas for implementation, one of which is “Bloody Race”. As such, the series has no background. The picture has several embossments under the double bottom and a deep, almost sacred meaning. But by the end of the first season it became clear that the audience did not want to delve into this. Actors of the series "Bloody Race" were able to perfectly convey the atmosphere of madness and unbridled revelry when there are no bans on anything at all.
It is known that the United States is not the only ones affected by the fault. He changes people, he can endow supernatural opportunities in him. The “heart” managed to curb at least one such aspect - teleportation and movement of souls. How much the corporation is connected with the break, who is behind the experiments and whether everything was planned initially, the viewer will not be able to find out at least until the outcome of a possible continuation of the series. However, it is fair to say that the fan is not particularly eager to understand the intricacies of the plot, because to his attention there is a rich atmosphere of madness, heated by adrenaline and a thirst for speed.
Secret of success
The "Bloody Race" of 2017 thwarted its jackpot of spectator sympathies. The project, which frankly looked like teenage grindhouse, unexpectedly shot as one of the season’s most successful premieres. The secret to the success of the picture is simple: sex, cruelty, madness and satire. Despite the fact that there is no genuine “Mad Max” atmosphere in the series, the project is able to tie the viewer to itself for several series. It is simple and unpretentious, they don’t even try to hide mistakes in editing and production, soberly arguing that the series “should be like that”. In many ways, the picture thwarted a successful release due to the enormous charisma and talent of a number of the actors of the series “Bloody Race”, who so well got used to the role that they literally came to life on the screen.
Barbie (Arthur Bailey)
He is the protector of all the light that remains in the gloomy universe of the series "Bloody Race." He is clean, honest, unrestrainedly kind, muscular, but naive like a child, because of which he often gets to Grace's jokes. Over time, understands that he is not able to change the world, at least one. The character’s image resembles the standard cliche of the “good guy”, which is extremely common in Hollywood. In many ways this is true, but at the end of the 1st season of the “Bloody Race” of 2017, it becomes clear that Barbie is not so simple. As a result, the system breaks a good cop and he succumbs to hatred and thirst for blood. The role was played by Alan Richson, noted in the Hunger Games franchise.
Grace
The role of the crazy racer Grace was performed by Christina Ochoa. The girl plays naturally, the sadism and inclinations of the dominant in the character of the heroine are revealed more than fully. Some color is added by the fact that the racer is actually trying to save her lost sister. Well, cruelty, well, “so necessary” happened by chance. Grace is honest with herself, she is ready to kill and does not mind refueling a car even by a policeman who has fallen on her head.
Slink
According to popularity, the manager of the "Bloody Race", perhaps, overtook most of the heroes of the 2017 prime minister. Slink is completely insane. The actor does not replay, his satire, attacks of rage and malice do not seem to be played or childish. No, everything is really appropriate: a business suit with feathers and a top hat, a suitcase and, of course, thick makeup. Slink turned out to be colorful and memorable, largely thanks to the efforts of actor Colin Cunningham, who changed the image as he wanted, creating something special.
This trio is the backbone of the cast of the series. Largely thanks to them, the project seems so unique and rich. The choice of director turned out to be right. The juxtaposition of such sharp opposites made an excellent show possible.
