Laurence Doucet, « Money Heist: Masked revolution or masquerade of revolution? », Sociétés, ID : 10670/1.c5de27...
Money Heist is a Spanish television series that had a resounding success when it was broadcast, causing an unforeseen yet understandable craze for the Professor and his acolytes. The principle of the TV series lends itself perfectly to the narration of a story that plays with time and narrators. First, the question of the "mask" and the secrecy that surrounds the protagonists will be addressed: To what form of imaginary do these clothes and these masks refer us? Did the viewer identify with the mask of a brilliant and unusual painter (Salvador Dali) or with the burglars who use it to deceive the police? Second, the question of revolution will be studied: Is it a resurgence of previous stories that proposes a change initiated by characters both out of the ordinary and close to our daily lives?
