TV Series Review: Empire
“Empire’s are not built in a day but this one was created in one season. Writer and Producer Lee Daniels has once again out done himself with his creativity and adaption of his new hit series Empire which first aired on FOX news last spring. Daniels directed and produced many other hit movies such as Precious and The Butler which won several awards for its outstanding production and outstanding performance by the cast.

It did so well with ratings that FOX even extended their contract and the show was renewed for two more seasons and was even given more episodes per season. Which came as a great relief for fans across the country. Although empire may be entertaining to some to other viewers it seems as just another cliché drama series about wealth and power. A lot of viewers find the show over dramatized and may even compare it to a Tyler Perry production, but it is far from it. I admit the musical numbers and guest performances by big name superstars are sometimes a bit much and does not have any significance tied into the episodes. This still doesn’t take away from the great storyline that was written and even adds more amusement for the audience who are tuned in every Wednesday night waiting to see what celebrity will make a guest appearance next. Empire is the next big thing when it comes to not only a drama television series but also when it comes to

    In the expert from “Empire of Illusion” by Chris Hedges he states that “The most essential skill in political theater and consumer culture is artifice.” The author’s statement is correct because politicians want to try and convince as many people as they that they are the best for whichever role they are running for. This topic is interesting because Hedges is trying to give advice on what it takes to be successful in industries where the playing field is rough and not lots of people have success in. Most people will say that politicians shouldn’t lie and should be honest with the public, but that usually doesn’t work so well.…

    They show that because the army was weak, it cost a lot of money to maintain it. The documents also said that when the Empire stopped expanding, the economy took a turn for the worst.

These facts show that without a stable economy, things don't go…

    A Colonized State of Mind One cannot truly understand the present unless they take the past into account.

    Empires were physically more fit than other countries in the sizes of their armies and navies. Empires also had scholars, artisans, education, literacy, books, etc allowing the empire to be more mentally fit than a smaller foreign opponent. Foreign communities and countries had no centralized governments allowing them nothing but vulnerability during attack. Foreign countries also had economies based on hunting and gathering or staying in one place and growing enough to be self sufficient. These economies were not only inferior to the massive commercial economies of the empires of this time but, the economies did nothing to advance these communities forward.…

I found it amazing that in the movie he just happened upon many of the Jews he helped. In all of the accounts I read on him, he was more organized and willing to go out of his way to get the Jews.…
