Girls and Boys

Friday, December 25th, 2009

If there Big Brother this new area of Telecinco, Leave us alone which began last night, it would be an experiment with no other morbid television than seeing some guys who do not know what to do so freely, or so little. But there Big Brother everyone expected that appear here quilts and other suggestions that are a metaphor of the eschatology of the large space.

These guys are forced to stage something we all wanted to do when we were his age, but then neither was the TV nor were parents like these, which emerge from their children, ten to twelve years, to live an adventure who knows how it will end. End well: parents remote control, carry an earpiece that looks like the umbilical cord. Orwell’s Big Brother (not the program) they are: the boys are gawking. They believe themselves free of their parents, but they are there, controlling.

For now, already was one of the girls, because he missed his mother. This was waiting in an adjoining house, and that detail seemed to me to Big Brother a background of tears and hugs that resembles the game too much for adults.

My impression after watching the first installment, is that it has imposed on the kids an idea where they are like a cage has to learn, that Paz Padilla said, to live without you. Why the pressure? Would not it be better to ask them to live as if they were alone?

I like a lot Paz Padilla, has humor and guts of a good actress; here have placed it as the voice of Carlos Hipolito in Tell me, and maybe she could assume (perhaps you do at some point) the role of sparring of the boys, as did some time in TV Gemma and radio Nierga or Xavier Sarda.

The next program the boys will face the issue of money as the issue that will reflect or fighting. Too soon, perhaps, to touch the money, but that’s life: put them to pretend that they are without parents and I do ask them for money. It is one of the house and found everywhere.

Postscript: In my column yesterday confused with Imanol Arias Imanol Uribe. Sorry for the lapse.
