Chief among those she's lying to is young, transgender girl Jules Vaughn (played by Hunter Schafer) the two had planned to run away together at the end of last season until Rue balked. Rue is trying desperately to convince most of her family and friends that she is sober, though she most certainly isn't. The characters bring a tangle of storylines to the second season. But as the ginger-haired drug dealer's story reaches the modern day - and we see Fezco negotiating a tense drug deal with suppliers who demand he and his friends strip naked to prove they aren't informants - Levinson's ability to make audiences feel what the characters are experiencing is masterful and discomfiting, all at once. Much of this episode feels inspired by director Martin Scorsese's style in crime epics like Goodfellas – perhaps because of the liberal use of classic rock hits, sweeping camera angles, quick cuts, gangster activities or the appearance of Sopranos co-star Kathrine Narducci as Fezco's hardcore, gun-toting grandmother. Movies Director Levinson, Actress Zendaya Discuss Netflix's 'Malcom & Marie' (Yes, the guy's, um, excited private parts were shown another way Euphoria shakes up expectations is by showing male nudity in ways even other explicit series do not.) An explosive series of flashbacks announces the start of the second season, depicting how Fezco's grandmother, a ruthless drug dealer herself, took over raising him after shooting his father in the hips at the back of a seedy strip club. Though star Zendaya gets most of the attention playing Rue Bennett, a teen struggling with substance use disorder, the second season's episodes are truly an ensemble affair – opening with the harrowing backstory of Rue's drug dealing friend, Fezco, played by a laconic Angus Cloud. That daring, creative vision only deepens now, as the show's long-delayed second season takes flight on HBO – a pause only slightly alleviated by two special episodes dropped since the first season debuted in mid-2019. We have come up with our possible interpretation of the video but we would love to listen to yours.Pop Culture Happy Hour The best movies and TV of 2021, picked by NPR critics An ensemble story focused on pain Directed by YongSeok Choi and produced by Emma Sung Eun Kim, the video showcases the careful selection of frames and beautiful depiction of expressions that resonate well with the story. Jungkook’s voice brilliantly holds the narrative together and helps us transition smoothly through the phases depicted in the video. It is interesting how BTS and Big Hit Entertainment deals with the themes of bonding and friendship. Or, does the video showcase the successful attempt of the boys in “living” their lives? If he is the same person from “Serendipity”, then, the whole video can be an “illusion” of happiness, he and others dreamt of. But at the same time, Jimin’s state holds the video in cliffhanger. “Euphoria” too highlights the transition as the boys shift their roles from being the agents of harm to the reasons for each other’s happiness. This theme of violence and death was prevalent in BTS’ earlier albums but with the release of Wings, an attempt of evasion became quite evident. The video begins with the destruction and harm caused by the members to each other. Now with the release of “Euphoria”, their guess seem to materialize into reality. Fans anticipated the words to be the title of group’s future tracks. While performing at 2017 Melon Music Awards, BTS used certain words during the live stage with “Euphoria” being one of them. The release of the video is not much of a surprise but the content definitely is.
