has always been the voice of young people who fight for a place in society, not to be neglected by those who believe that everything can and everything should be, such that at some point become "the enemy" adults. Who try to educate them, to be like them, just in case they are successful even in its failure, or not be them, if their failure is and will be just that. They who are charting the way for us young people as we walk, they are always ahead of us.
But young people often do not want to walk your way we do ours, which does not always have a clear destination, and is built at our own pace, in our way, often aimlessly, with many potholes and zig-zag.
That world youth rarely explored in an objective on television, is now placed on the small screen with the name of teen drama Skins. Skins is created by Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain, British father and son, the first famous for other series like 40, Nature Boy, The Crow Road, among others.
put in Skins adolescence and show all its complexity, following the life of a youth group from Bristol, among them are Tony, the vacancies in the neighborhood, the handsome, which has everything under control and manipulate everything, lives to whim. Sid, Tony's best friend and therefore the opposite of him, still a virgin and is in love with the girlfriend of his friend, Michelle, the most beautiful and sexy in the group, loves Tony and would do anything for him. Anwar also, played by Dev Patel (famous for his role in Slumdog Millionaire), who is a Muslim who deals with his faith and the outside world. I Jal's friend Michael, Cassie girl with mental problems and food loves Sid, Chris the homosexual group, and Tomy's sister Effy.
They make the perfect amalgam of problems that adolescents generally live, do, preach, undo, etc. In Skins nothing is fiction, nothing appears, the situations go to the satirical, raw, infuriating and dreamlike. Adolescence surrounded by technology, sex, vices, education (good-bad), but above all, and what is most important, friendship and love.
Skins success has been overwhelming, not only in England, his country of origin, but throughout Europe, and Latin America, where it is transmitted by MTV and HBO, where the consumer public, all young, have faithfully followed his three seasons. I include it because I've only seen three of the season, but I join the phenomenon, because I'm down the 9 chapters of the first two seasons, the third still can not find it but you can see online, the fourth will be ready to early 2010, when I have finished off all the chapters (one per day).
The creators of Skins have wise, the TV series had long since been forgotten the young, the very young, and were aimed audiences 25 and up, Skins has opened the way, since insurance will "competition." At the moment the filmmaker father and son combination has paid off, there is already talk of a movie, book and even the U.S. version, no matter what happens, at least I, for the moment when, I enjoy every chapter.
