But, the true colors of people always eventually shine through, like for example when the Mr. Ramon was able to sit and handle business with his associates, many of whom are African- American. But, still, when his daughter wants to buy a nice car with his money shortly after the meeting is dismissed, he said that he didn’t want her bringing any black guys around in it. The theme of anger continues as a working Haitian nurse and mother is told by her employer, Mr. Matthew, to go home and take the rest of the day off when he returns home and finds that the place is dirty and his father has a fever. She then goes to her place, apparently upset because of getting fussed at, and does the exact same thing to her children. Anger in America is many times the same. When one person gets hurt they transfer it onto others almost effortlessly in an attempt to relieve the pain that they themselves are experiencing. After watching the first episode of this wonderful new series, Love is Blind (2015), I can’t wait to see what other themes streamline through this brand new drama production, one that is set in modern day Brooklyn, New York, USA, a melting pot of diversity that has an thick undertone of hatred, fear, sadness, and violence (you can catch Episode One here) There isn’t always a pattern of different races that have something against one another in Brooklyn, or across the nation. Sometimes the same race looks at their own youth and will tell them when they are wrong, as in the store scene which you can watch along with the rest of Episode One, “The Setup”, at the above link. But, the opposing race vibe still is alive in the scene at the store when the two drunken Black men (who got scorned by the mother from before for acting rude and obnoxious) came in and began clowning the Arab immigrant couple. But, without giving too much away, before you see the first episode of Love and Blind (2015) yourself, I want you to pay attention to something as you watch: The way that dramas are setup up today the characters have no depth, but with this new series even the ones that you want to hate sometimes end up doing or saying something that balances them out, and shows that they actually have some good in them. The director and producers give a well-rounded view of these characters, and the real and vivid scenes won’t let you take your eyes off the screen. This is not an episode critique that I am doing here about Love is Blind (2015). Anybody that knows me knows that I am not a critic. And this is not a request. I am straight out telling you to take you’re a-double-snakes to this link, and enjoy the first episode of what is the best new independent drama that I have seen so far in 2015! The Character Crill Gates Crill Gates is one of the most interesting characters on the new YouTube series “Love is Blind” by Director Wanly Florexile. Gates is a hustler by nature, and is the top man on Boss Mercy’s list when it comes to getting that money on the streets, drug money. But Gates seems to balance it out well, doing his street hustle as well as creating music. He seems to be one of the older guys that Mercy has working for him, someone that Mercy trusts, especially when it comes to keeping the books square on his end with street profits. Gates is a fictional version of a lot of rappers that have gotten in the music game. At first, they couldn’t find work, legal work that is. So, they felt that they had no choice but to hit the street and sell drugs. Crill Gates has his head on straight though, and Mercy values him very much. The boss likes Gates so much that he actually wants him to begin being sort of a mentor to younger guys on his street team. Gates isn’t a big fan of babysitting younger thugs, and is more of a solo minded type of guy. But he couldn’t say no to Mercy when the stocky boss offered him a couple more territories if he could guide one teenage hustler in particular into the right direction and get them to bring in the type of money that Gates does. Hip Hop fans learn a lot about the drug dealing business just by paying attention to movies and music. For example, even if you never sold cocaine, you would know by listening to certain songs by a character such as Crill Gates the type of moves that are made in the everyday lifestyle of a hustler like him. Like other prominent and successful rappers from Brooklyn, Gates is seemingly trying to eventually not have to sell drugs anymore, and make music for a living instead. Brooklyn rappers such as Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G (R.I.P) or Shawn Carter aka Jay Z have admittedly seen that lifestyle before, and eventually got to the point in their music careers where they didn’t have to do anything illegal to make a dollar. Rappers always will refer to the drug cocaine in some way, whether he or she is telling about their own life, surroundings, or even a movie. Way before the new 2015 YouTube series “Love is Blind” was released, popular films that Hip Hop fans watched (and still watch) that are closely related to cocaine fueled a lot of the genres lyrics. A few of the most well-known films that undoubtedly influenced the creators of “Love is Blind (2015)” are “New Jack City”(a 1991 film starring Wesley Snipes who plays Nino Brown, a drug lord in New York during the crack epidemic),“Blow” (where Johnny Depp plays George, a weed dealer who eventually starts pushing cocaine), and “Scarface”. In one Huffington Post article entitled “Al Pacino Thanks Rappers for Loving Scarface” the legendary actor who played as the character Tony Montana told reporters: “I don’t think anybody’s ever talked about it as accurately and clearly. I understood it better having heard them talk about it….” By “them”, Pacino meant Hip Hop artists. And, the character Crill Gates another ill MC/Poet/Rapper from the birthplace of Hip Hop who’s determined to tell his story. Episode 2: Arrangements In the first scene in Episode 2 the new series “Love is Blind (2015)”, my man in the shades has all the game in the world! We find out now that he just may be the Black guy Mr. Ramon didn’t want his daughter to bring home in that new corvette the big Boss bought his little princess off of eBay. I don’t want to give away too much, so you will just have to view it for yourself. The name of the Episode 2 is adequately labeled “Arrangements”, and it seems that many of the characters are setting up some ingrained ones of their own. For example, the girl that the guy is pimping in the first scene actually thinks that he wants to be with her! Not only is the plot always nice in each episode of Love is Blind (2015), but the dialogue is absolutely awesome. You will begin to fall in love with the way the characters from different backgrounds and heritages go back and forth from their native tongues to English as they speak to one another. The young Pakistani daughter hears her mother do it spontaneously during her one on one conversation with the teenage girl, a talk that reveals another arrangement that will change the girl’s life forever in a few weeks. You just have to watch the 2nd Episode of Love is Blind to see. Funny how many of the parents in the new series “Love is Blind” don’t want their child associating with another race, but the children themselves get along and fall in love with each other.
