劇集主創(chuàng)David Simon在提到第二季時候說“The second season of The Wire, centered around Baltimore's dying port unions, is a meditation on the death of work and the betrayal of the American working class, it is a deliberate argument that unencumbered capitalism is not a substitute for social policy, that on its own, without a social compact, raw capitalism is destined to serve the few at the expense of the many.”
這一季,便血淋淋地展現(xiàn)了一個階級的尊嚴(yán)如何被政客和體制玩弄于股掌間。
一切都源于Frank通過工會振興港口的雄心。為了籌得政治獻金,F(xiàn)rank冒險幫助走私團伙利用碼頭裝卸的空子的走私,賺取微薄的勞務(wù)費,再把這些錢送到各個議員手中打點。一年,兩年,港口提案無望,F(xiàn)rank只能在這個惡性循環(huán)的怪圈里彌足深陷,最終害得自己送命,侄子Nick販毒,兒子Ziggy入獄。
Frank的死亡,象征著一個階層努力自救卻最終被時代洪流無情淹沒的縮影。
最后一幕Nick站在破敗的港口遠望,一組蒙太奇鏡頭下
