Hidden vices It is titled in Spanish Your Friends and Neighborsgiving him a capital of morality and a horta point that the original title in English does not have. Jon Hamm’s talent, that Cary Grant of the 21st century, deserved something better. In the name of the Spanish speakers: Sorry, Jon.
The Apple TV+ series tells the story of a very rich rich man who becomes very poor poor overnight. To maintain his status, he begins to steal his neighbors, getting into a Chungo-Picaresco mess that is complicated to the catastrophe. Meanwhile, it portrays the lives of these fund managers, financial and very high executives who do not fit the zeros in the account. The thing could be the nth variation of the subject The rich also cryif not for a note that I read to the critic of The New York Times Ross Douthat (pity, I could have already happened to me: I guess that’s why he lives in the neighborhood of the millionaire columnists, and I still don’t have the insured retirement).
Douthat says that these people lack what Bourdieu called distinction. They are very rich, but their manners, their clothes, their rituals and their habits are only a slightly more horta version than those of upper middle class. When Marcel Proust wrote his own, he narrated the life of people who did not look at the Middle Parisian anything. When Truman Capote wrote Prayers attended He also uncovered the roofs, in the manner of the devil fuck, of very distinguished ladies who did not speak or walk like anyone. The characters of Hidden vices They only have money. Nothing else. Any lawyer or doctor who is doing well is like them. They rejected the mother of Capote for not knowing how to be. Today, they would accept it without hesitation, because the only access criterion is to have a lot of money and spend it to Espuertas. In the ancient world, wearing a tie a tie was sufficient reason for ostracism.
Hence his anguish. What to do when being very rich is not enough to form your identity, to distinguish yourself from the plebe? How does that calm down? A ruined Russian prince was still a Russian prince, even if he lived between cartons, but one of these rich, when ruined, does not distinguish himself from a supermarket cashier, no longer knows how to look over his shoulder at anyone. This is an unusual way to narrate the worsen wealth.
