Why did I choose this theme? It´s easy... I chose it because many people in Mexico like to watch soap operas. (I´m not one of those).
What I found at Internet is:
The term "soap opera" was coined by the American press in the 1930s to denote the extraordinarily popular genre of serialized domestic radio dramas, which, by 1940, represented some 90% of all commercially-sponsored daytime broadcast hours. A serial narrative is a story told through a series of individual, narratively linked installments. Unlike episodic television programs, in which there is no narrative linkage between episodes and each episode tells a more or less self-contained story, the viewer's understanding of and pleasure in any given serial installment is predicated, to some degree, upon his or her knowledge of what has happened in previous episodes.
My opinion about soap operas is...
First of all I don´t like them, because I think they´re overacted and don´t have any sense of reality; all the soap operas at list here in Mexico are the same than the previous one (the story is the same, they just change the names of the characters, a few parts of rhe climax and that´s all, they have a "new" soap opera).
Soap operas are aspirational, what does it mean? It means that if in the story the main character is an ugly man, he will become handsome, the satupid one will become intelligent, the poor one rich and so on...
Even the names of the characters are really "uncommon" for example: "Santa Maria Teresa de la Rosa Fernandez Pablo de la Santa Trinidad Ruiz y Perez", just IMAGINE!
Dialogues are also false... -Santa Maria Teresa de la Rosa... I need to confess you something- what happens Fernando Juarez de la O...?- It´s just that... I am your father- Nooo! this must be a mistake...- No, Santa Maria Teresa, it´s true...
Here in Mexico a soap opera called LA ROSA DE GUADALUPE is about stories of love, heartbreak, hope, struggle and intrigue, which will address issues such as prostitution, domestic violence, substance abuse, among many others; it´s supposed that the virgin, based on people´s faith, acomplishes miracles. I think it is the most "strange and stupid" soap opera ever because sometimes miracles are really unrealistic.
Mexico is one of the countries that have more soap operas, some of them are:
What I conclude is that:
- All the soap operas have the same story, the differences between one and other are the names of the characters, and some parts of the climax.
- They are unrealistic, nothing is true.
- Are just for entertainment, (when you don´t have anything else to do, I recommend you to see them, they will make you laugh).
