Carlos Montero Screenwriter, director and producer of a large number of audiovisual products, from television series to feature films. Among them, stand out eliteAnd the Netflix series that has been running for four seasons and is one of the most watched series on the platform.
In the series, we can see a group of young men from the institute going through various problems. These guys have one thing in common: They reproduce a stereotypical beauty style, the slim body style. Details do not change despite the character changes in different seasons.
When asked about it, Montero replied: “I would tell you that ‘elite’ bodies are not standard, but rather the opposite. They are bodies we aspire to, Either to look like them or to sleep with them. What are the reasons for showing these corpses and not the real ones? Well, like the account of the Spanish elite that does not exist either. It’s style, perfection. Just as I show swimming pools and dream houses, I also show dream bodies.”
Until then, the part of representing something that doesn’t exist can be understood, even though it actually positions that physical property as a search, aspiration, and something “ideal”. But his words did not stop there. Then he added:
“Note that I find this rather silly. It gives the imagination a power it might have but to a very small extent. I doubt I have the ability to tell a fat man he’s sexy. I can tell you, but once you believe it… But hey, it might be a matter of trying. I’m not closed in on anything.”
Here he categorized anyone who isn’t thin as un-sexy, which is in stark contrast to the various initiatives that try to eradicate this misconception and accept bodies outside of the above stereotypes.
It should also be borne in mind that not only is a decision on the choice of this series, But to the trouble many people have in searching for that supposed “ideal”, So globalization look and give Beauty (personal concept) Rule is a harmful thing wherever you look at it.
Elite will continue to be a chain with these representationsAlthough we will see if in the future Monteiro will retract his statements or provide any clarification in this regard. What do you think? Do what they say sound true to you?
