"But really -- surprise! -- the film is all about the clothes, the food, and the real estate" And strategic product placement, let us never forget. Not just Gucci - McDonalds' too! My first intro to this series was while staying with a lady friend in Kobe Japan. Glitzy new Yawkers speaking in dubbed over Japanese, - they dub everything over into their own language, no subtitles - very amusing effect. It has always been fascinating as a particularly effective women-targeting Unreality Show. Gawking spectator to capital and all that. Ridiculous bourgeois lifestyles marketed to working class women. Hence the product placement per above, and the simpatico presentation of the inner lives of the main characters. -Matt ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
