What am I looking at when I look at Snake Lady?

At the beginning of the story, the servant accidentally broke the silver, and the rich man snapped at her. I thought "femme fatale" was full of all kinds of tangled mentality, such as the rich being unfriendly to the rich and the poor hating the rich, but it was not. Then I watched three seasons in one breath, each season 13 episodes. To sum up, the maid is not heartless at all.

So what am I looking at when I look at Snake Lady?

1. Hope

Every maid has her own "lofty ideal"-to be an enviable American and realize the enviable "American dream". Rosie wants to immigrate her children from Mexico to the United States, while Carmen is eager to pursue a career in music. In either case, they will do their best, even if it means flirting with the boss's son, blackmailing an unruly male employer, or hiding drugs from an addict.

Carmen's singing career is very bumpy. In the first season, she was arrested at the age of 37 and was rejected by the record company. In the second season, she came to an abrupt end because her fake boyfriend died suddenly. In the third season, despite dissuasion, Carmen was found to have an affair with the husband of the female boss of the company and was humiliated in public on the way to becoming a star. Carmen will be slapped hard by reality every step closer to her dream, but the beautiful Carmen is getting braver and braver. I hope Carmen can realize her dream in the fourth season, because she is so hard-working and talented.

2. Friendship

The four maids have their own characteristics, but their friendship is very deep. Although their work is physical repetition day after day, and their brown skin is very eye-catching in the eyes of white rich people, they always help and support each other.

Whether Rosie was injured in the shooting, Carmen lost her job, or Marisol finished her wedding with her fiance in the hospital, they were always there for her. In the first season, in order to save his son in prison, Marisol posed as a servant of a rich man to find out the murder. Others thought she was poor and pooled their money to help her tide over the difficulties. Jeanmarie Sol was very moved and guilty, even the people in front of my screen were moved.

What is even more rare is that the friendship between employers and maids can be like family members, such as Zola and Genevieve. Zola has been a servant in Genevieve's house for 20 years. They are like sisters. Zola speaks directly and is full of hostility. Genevieve never cared, and she would care about Zola's opinion before she got married again. In the third season, if Genevieve doesn't get married soon, I will suspect that they are lesbians.

respect

As mentioned above, Genevieve treats Zola like a family member, trying to bring her son and Zola's daughter together without abandoning her servant status.

Actor Spencer was looked down upon by his star wife and fell in love with the maid Rosie. Even Rosie's 8-year-old son loves her very much. Every time Spencer looks at Rosie, I am moved and distressed by her loving and lost eyes and background music. Why can't people who love each other be together?

Rich people are rich, well-off, generous and selfish, but they all respect maids. In their eyes, a maid is a profession, like doctors, lawyers and actors, regardless of rank.

Besides, the maid's job is to live in the employer's house from Monday to Friday, rest on weekends and do whatever she wants. During work, there are lunch breaks and tea breaks. Employers can use books and drinks at will, and they can also invite friends to the mansion for dates and parties. It looks really good. I really want to work in a rich family.

rich

Mr. and Mrs. Powell, the "clown couple", don't know how much they are worth, but they have many things that others don't have: a palace-like mansion, a three-story building with a big swimming pool in the middle; Gardeners, gardeners, bodyguards, swimming pool maintainers and maids, and many servants engaged in different jobs; Helicopters, yachts, four luxury cars ... the couple don't work, they bicker every day, and when they are tired, they travel abroad by plane. The robbers took the necklace that Mr Powell gave his wife, because it was too expensive and eye-catching, so it could not be sold smoothly.

No wonder Mr Powell proudly said that I was a rich man.

What do rich people usually do? Read a book, or a magazine or newspaper. It's hard to find a TV in a mansion. I only saw her husband watching TV at Zola's house.

Rich people have big cloakrooms and large study rooms. Every time Mrs. Powell appears, she always leans back on the sofa and reads leisurely. I like this feeling.

Think of a sentence: the rich are reading, and TV is for the poor.
