desertcart.com: Pablo Escobar: El Patron Del Mal - Part 1 : Movies & TV

Review: The boss of evil... - ... or the series that makes the Sopranos look like the Golden Girls. "Pablo Escobar, el patrón del mal" is a colombian mini-series about the life of the most notorious drug lord of the last part of the 20th Century. For this series every effort was made; shooting on real locations, using helicopters, and is for a great part shot in exteriors as opposed to the interior studios used for most Latin American telenovelas. What sets this series apart from most of the other "based on a true story" series, is that the actors chosen, do resemble the actual people they are portraying (if not physically, at least in the way they talk). The most stunning revelation is Andrés Parra in the role of Escobar, who not only looks like him physically, but actually speaks just like him. It's uncanny! so much that whenever he'd go out in the streets dressed as Escobar, people would gather around him calling him "Pablo!" and cheering him. Which by the way, shows how a psychotic criminal like Escobar is still adored by thousands (let's hope not millions) of people to this day. The series was co-created and co-produced by one of the sons of Guillermo Cano, the publisher of the colombian newspaper El Espectador, and one of the few journalists who wasn't afraid to attack Escobar and expose him for what he really was. Mr. Cano ended paying his affront when he was murdered on orders by Escobar. The purpose of the series then was to remind the people and tell the younger generation of what sort of a criminal Escobar really was, and hope that the "history won't repeat itself". For those who still don't know him, Escobar single-handedly took control of the cocaine business throughout the world, made millions of dollars (Forbes put him among the 10 richest men in the world at the time), had thousands of cops killed under his orders, not to mention presidential candidates, judges, magistrates and journalists, and even sent a guerrilla movement to attack the Justice Palace just so that they would burn any documents that might implicate him vis-a-vis with the Colombian justice. As if that weren't enough, he even blew up a jet airliner in mid-air with all its passengers just because he thought a political candidate he didn't like was aboard, and then started bombing the country until the government would give him immunity and not extradite him to the US (what all Colombian drug traffickers feared the most). In other words, the sort of guy you don't mess with. As such, this series, made up of 73 episodes of 45 minutes each (this first part contains only the first 25 episodes, parts 2 and 3 will follow shortly after) tells the true life story of this drug kingpin from his childhood all the way until his death. What's so fascinating about his life, is that it would put even the craziest among the Roman emperors to shame. The Italian Mafia even seems benign compared to what this man did. Though the series aims to show how evil this man really was, many people all over Latin America still revere him as a god. He has also served as an inspiration to the actual Mexican cartels due to his sheer ruthlessness towards those who betrayed him. Now, getting on with the series in hand. Please note that though it's based on fact, many of the character's names have been changed due to legal reasons or mainly because they aren't anymore among us and their families didn't give permission to use their real names. So it'd be good to check the webpage in Wikipedia dedicated to this series if you want to know who is who in real life. As is, it's still a story that will shock you. I can't think of anyone cheering Escobar's atrocious acts, yet at certain points many did, but toward the end of the series you'll be left feeling sick about what this man actually achieved. Don't forget that though he amassed millions of dollars, he died penniless. So a lesson is to be learnt here somehow. As I mentioned in the beginning of my review, this is a first-rate series, and you can see that a lot of care and money was put into it. However, this being a period piece (ending in the early 90's), many chronological misplacings slipped through: PC computers being used at a time when there weren't any, flat-screen tv's are seen in some homes, not to mention Guitar Hero video games with their respective guitars in the room of Escobar's son (they only appeared in the 21st Century). I'm sure people living in Colombia might have spot a couple more. But this chronologigal mistakes aside, the series really packs a wallop. All the actors are well chosen and play their parts perfectly (and hundreds of actors were used in the cast). This DVD set comes with English subtitles, for those who don't speak any Spanish, though much of the Colombian argot is lost in the translation. For those who are into gangster movies, this is the one that outdoes them all, mainly because it's based on the true story of the most ruthless gangster that ever lived! Highly recommended!

It is mindblowing how close the actor nailed down the cadence of Pablo's speech. Authentic shooting scenes ect. This was a real lesson in history. I did not watch it for entertainment because that would make me evil. This happened folks, nothing entertaining about it all. But as a glimpse into a once secret society in Colombia...this was utterly fascinating. Also, it helped me practice my spanish. Top rate acting, true to life, OUTSTANDING.

### ⭐ This is NOT about the content, but rather the DVD box set.
*by R***J on September 13, 2013*

I want to be very clear that I'm not giving this product a bad review because of the series itself. "El Patrón del Mal" is an AWESOME series that deserves to be seen everywhere. It's well done, well acted, and very entertaining. The reason why I'm giving this product a one star rating is because the quality of the DVD's is staggeringly bad. I bought three box sets of this series and ALL of them came scratched and with some unplayable discs. I bought ALL of them brand new, with cellophane wrapper and everything. Never been used, yet they were all scratched. I bought Volume 1 first, obviously, and had to return it. I got the exchanged copies and had the same problem. I also ordered, from a different seller, Volume 2 and, yet again, it came scratched. If you're going to watch them on your computer, then they might work. But if you plan to watch them on your TV, I recommend you stay away from this box set. It's a damn shame too because it's affordable and the episodes look great (when you can see them).
