Real anarchy reigns in a California town with a charming charming. The account of the corpses goes on dozens that a new union arises for a day and another betrayal occurs, but the end of the chaos is still not visible. Already more than half of the last season of the “sons of anarchy” (it can be viewed on the AmediaTeka website) behind, and the main intrigue is still unresolved. It is overgrown with additional details and passes from the series to the series in the role of an honorary hook, on which the attention of the viewer should be held. The question is whether one of the most successful series of FX TV channel will be able to maintain interest in the spectators until the final series.
© FXThe seventh season of the “sons of anarchy” as a whole retains all the features inherent in this series. As always, two main and inextricably bound plot lines pass the side of the season. The everyday life of the biker club "Sones of anarchy" is superimposed on the complicated personal life of the protagonist of the series Jack Taller. The scriptwriters generously place the mines-pnseries according to the plot; Each of them will work in due time, even if the viewer managed to forget about her. There are a couple of entertaining cameo, with which the series did not neglect before: for example, in the third season the great and terrible Stephen King appeared in the role of a terrible “cleaner”. Of course, it is funny to see the pale and puffy Marilyn Manson in the skin of the criminal authority-neonacist Talley or Lia Michelle from the “choir” as a sweet waitress of the roadside race. But this can hardly be considered a sufficient occasion to view the last part of the biker saga. How the seventh season really stands out compared to the previous ones is an increased degree of violence. Although, it would seem, much more - the creators of the “sons of anarchy” never disdain cruelty, which is able to scare away some spectators as excessive, on the contrary, to attract apparent reliability.
© FXBikers have long become an inseparable part of American life and culture, appearing both on the pages of Hunter Thompson's books and on the screen (just look at the impressive list of films where bearded beards on Harley) appear). It is worth noting that in the "sons of anarchy" we are talking about the existing outlaws of biker clubs , in fact, bikes of bikers, therefore the world of the series is primarily criminal. Its complex and rich structure includes representatives of all races. Bikers from different clubs have to live side by side with street gangs, Italian and Russian mafia, Chinese triads and Mexican cartels, prison groups like the “Aryan Brotherhood” or “Black Partisan Family”, and participants in the “true Irish Republican Army”. The designation by the color of the skin in this world of “white”, “black”, “yellow” and “brown”, not too aware of political correctness, serves not so much an insult as an identifier. But in the end, one color is really rules for everyone - the green color of banknotes, as Jack Taller says, repeating the words of a prison expert about the “Aryan Brotherhood”. The color of the skin does not at all determine the degree of your influence. Bikers living outside the law, despite the hardening and battleship of life, are not the highest link of the food chain and suffer fair losses in a collision with such tremors-sovereigns as the Black King of Gangsters Damon Pup or his successor Ogast Marx. For both police officers and the heads of criminal syndicates, they are simply “white garbage”, w hite trash . And Jack Taller has to climb out of the skin to prove that his club can claim a more important place.
It does not even do without hints of Oedipus complex: Jacks and Jamma exchange sarcastic jokes on the theme of the “maternal fetish” and “mothers - crazy lady”.
Over the past seasons, the series lost several key characters at once, his world has narrowed up to two main figures - Jack Taller and his mother Jamma. Jacks throughout the series go to leadership, and then holds a place at the head of a table with a bony image. At the same time, he shows the makings of a remarkable strategist, building complex schemes and weaving intrigues. But only by the will of fate (and screenwriters), each resolved problem gives rise to many new ones. Breaking out between his two families - a club and a house, Jacks are trying not so much to achieve the authorities as to protect his loved ones. But it is precisely close people that cause him the most cruel and unexpected blows. So, Jamma Taller is truly worthy of the title of "mother-anarchy." She, as a lioness, is ready to fight for her son and grandchildren, but is completely unable to control her frantic temperament. It often helps Jacks and supports it, but it often harms the plans of the son, even unconsciously. It does not even do without hints of Oedipus complex: Jacks and Jamma exchange sarcastic jokes on the theme of the “maternal fetish” and “mothers - crazy lady”. In reality, every next impulsive act of Jamma multiplies chaos; Fearing to lose the trust of her son, she gets more and more in the web of lies and miscalculations. Jacks are gradually entering the taste of violence, and the little son of Jack, whom he tries to protect from the surrounding world, begins to copy his father’s cruelty. The whole plot of the “sons of anarchy” as a whole represents a big illustration of the saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
© FXDespite the constant emphasis on the unsightly sides of the biker life, in the "sons of anarchy" there is also an elusive element of almost fantasy. A semi -nuclear, semi -bank brotherhood on faithful “horses” and in leather armor - neither give nor take “Knights of Neon” from the same name Black Sabbath . Even the emphasized cruelty and riot of passions correlate with modern mass ideas about the Middle Ages. Jax Taller, performed by Charlie Hannama, could become the brother of Viking Ragnar performed by Travis Kimmel, the same blue -eyed and light -bearded. It is no accident that Gai Richie chose Hannam to the role of King Arthur in his new film. In the last season, Hannam's hero really reminds Arthur-a ruler who wanted to turn his possessions into an ideal kingdom, but instead observes his decline and immersion in a fratricidal war caused by the betrayal of the closest people.
© FXThe final season for many series becomes a real test of strength. To maintain tension and not to lose meaningfulness of the plot, not to break all the ends hastily and out of place, to finish on a strong chord - all this is not so simple. The scriptwriters are exhausted and try to atone for the lack of fresh ideas endless flashbacks, smeared between the meager events of the last season. At least two fairly popular HBO projects are a recent example. A more or less successful option is a case of an “underground empire”. The last, fifth, season of this series has collected a lot of praise from critics, including the relative unpredictability of the steep final. I would not join this laudatory choir, because I do not see special advantages that the final season was very different in structure from the previous ones, focusing on the past of the protagonist, but many people liked it. But for “real blood” everything is much sadder - that began for health for the seventh season ended extremely toothless ending.
© FXBoth the scriptwriter and director of the last series of the last season of the “Sons of Anarchy” are the creator of the series Kurt Sutter (“Shield”). This allows us to hope that the story of a “smart white guy”, as neo -Nazi Tally calls Jacks with a gentle mockery, is waiting for a really bright ending. Satter, by the way, confidently talks about the filming of the spin-off of “sons of anarchy” dedicated to the early history of the biker club. So after it ends, we may see and how it all began.
