The poor in the Bahamas, became influences-the elite real victims

“The poor in the Bahamas, became influences-the elite real victims”

“the Netflix documentary, ”Fyre” on the skandalfestivalen”

“Beautiful celebrities, swimming with the pigs – or the reality of ”Flugornas lord”.”

“In the documentary ”the Fyre: The greatest party that never happened” get the glam influencerkulturen pyspunka.”

“Donald Trump managed to convince the voters about the reasonableness of that Mexico would pay for a 3 200-km-long wall. No wonder then that the young entrepreneur Billy McFarland was able to sell thousands of expensive tickets to a lyxfestival that never existed.”

“It was at the end of 2016 as a bunch of celebrities, all with millions of followers on social media, were flown to a small island in the Bahamas. Models Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski were some of them who put up beautiful pictures from the celebrations, the turquoise sea and the swimming pigs.”

“Everything was an ambitious reklamkupp to launch an app where you could book celebrities, a project that ended up in the shadow of the crazy stunt McFarland and his colleague, hiphopstjärnan JaRule, pulled in time.”

“For even though they quickly sold out of the expensive tickets to the festival, with the promised luxury accommodations at the drug lord Pablo Escobar’s private island, was in fact nothing. No houses, no electricity, no toilets. At the end of april 2017 would all be built.”

“in the Middle of the soup was McFarland, a 27-year-old best known for having managed to sell out the silly concept of ”Magnises”, a debit card, which by being black gave a sense of status and exclusivity. For a young generation faced with an uncertain labour market, and who barely can afford to move away from home, at the same time as the society’s ideal is to become a winner, was the McFarlands idea to sell a beautiful façade as ingenious as stupid.”

“His enthusiasm was also contagious. Investors, employees, celebrities – all wanted to believe in McFarlands dream. When the disaster was a fact, and the festival’s visitors landed to an involuntary larp of William Goldings ”Flugornas lord” on Great Exuma, an island with drains, but it is hardly the sense of luxurious paradise that was imparted on Instagram, no one had pulled the handbrake. All gassed rather than straight into the rock face.”

“Lyxtälten was, in fact, evakueringsboende after a hurricane, the artists had cancelled and the food was lacking. On social media was a party atmosphere and joyful schadenfreude – because who could really feel sorry about a bunch of rich young people who went on a blower?”

“Director Chris Smith, the Netflix documentary delves into the question of guilt and find in the first hand the trickster McFarland, in the other hand his influencers. The competing documentary ”Fyre fraud” which was released the same week on the streamingsajten Hulu, and that has paid for itself for an interview with the protagonist himself, blames in part on the company Fuck Jerry, who handled the festival’s social media (and tantalizing enough are co-producers for the Netflix documentary).”

“no matter what” says the Fyre festival a lot of the times we live in. Where the smidige the salesman is king and success is worshipped. Now sitting McFarland in jail, sued for millions of self-pitying festival goers.”

“at the same time is the poor worker in the Bahamas who worked around the clock to build the festival, without getting paid, bluffens real victims.”

“… kriminaldystopi. The third season of ”True detective” (HBO Nordic) is a throwback to the first succéns glesbygdsondska, social misery and mysterious characters (halmgubbarna is back!!!). Mahershala Ali, who plays the tormented policeman, wearing with easy hand-up story about missing children in several different tidslager.”

“… the film. In hungary, the son of Saul” (SVT play) by László Nemes is hardly possible to describe as other than a punch to the face. It is about the prisoner, Saul is forced to burn the corpses in one of the German nazi regime’s death camps, but when he sees a body he thinks is his son, he begins to fight to get arrange a jewish funeral. Claustrophobic, nightmarish and casual portrayal of the very worst – and the struggle to maintain a glimmer of dignity in the midst of the controlled.”

“… talk-show. Today, it has a dark, funny hovdramat ”The favourite” by Yorgos Lanthimos premiere at the Swedish cinemas. Fittingly enough, are two of the guests in tonight’s ”The Graham Norton show ‘ (BBC1) Olivia Colman and Nicholas Hoult which have major roles in the film (Hoult also have one of his monumental wigs).”

“…Olof Wretling. For fans of the ”mom’s new guy”, ”Scrum”, and not least his acclaimed vinterprat in P1 shows the SVT stage version of ”Diagnoses in my life” tomorrow evening. If a childhood full of run in the legs, dyslexia, panic disorder and a vivid imagination. Select rather the than Erik Haag and Lotta Lundgren’s faded, ”the Band and I” (premiering Sunday on national television) where Wretling play an alcoholic pop star and womanizer.”
