‘La Casa de Papel’: The story of a great robbery!!!

We have seen many movies and series based on bank robberies or thefts, "Ocean's" series is very famous among that category. For a long time, there was nothing to compete with Ocean's, but this time we found a worthy competitor. Talking about Netflix's 'La casa de papel' or 'Money Heist' series. The story of a great bank robbery has been told in episodes with breathtaking excitement, let's talk about that web series today.

The Professor is the main protagonist of this series, at least he calls himself a professor. The protagonist should not be called a villain, that is a matter of debate, thousands of people are stealing money unjustly. It's just like Pirates of the Caribbean, as much as I know Jack Sparrow is a pirate, but his compassion and love for him don't diminish. So I was talking about the professor. His master plan was to steal money from the Royal Mint of Spain. As if not three figures, he will remove 2.4 billion euros at a time! But he is reluctant to call it theft. Why? Because he doesn’t actually steal. He will print the money and run away with the team. There are eight people in his 'robbery' group, each of them has a deep past and special skills. Once you get into the Royal Mint, it will take 11 days. They will keep 6 hostages captive for 11 days, and there will be strict police guards outside. It also takes a great way to escape. What will happen next?

Let's talk about the Royal Mint. In Spanish it is called ‘Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre - Real Casa de la Moneda’. It is the Spanish National Mint, headquartered in Madrid. That means money is printed here. The Spanish Ministry of Finance takes care of it. The Bank of Spain began printing money in 1940, and today's building is in use in 1964. There is another mint in Burgos, northern Spain. Note that the name of the series ‘La Casa de Papel’ means ‘paper house’ where paper actually means banknote.

The professor's real name is Sergio Markina. Alvaro Marte has played a great role in this role. Sharp-witted, resourceful and far-reaching are the three qualities he has in common. For many months, he taught his teammates how to do this plan to the finest level. His past is mysterious.

If there are robbers like Tom and Jerry, there will be police, the police will chase the culprit. And here Inspector Raquel Murillo is in the role of the police. The middle-aged beauty has one child, but she is divorced from her husband. Troubled family life, on the one hand, a live case of bank robbery on the other, understands him from both sides. In the meanwhile, she suddenly fell in love with Prince Charming when she went to a restaurant to rest. But did he know that this was the man he was looking for? Is this the professor? How long will the rat-cat game last?

Then let's talk about team members. Let's start with Tokyo first. Wondering why the name of the city? The professor made such a rule that no member of the group should know the past of others. With that strict prohibition, no one will be able to tell anyone their real name. Instead, everyone will make their own name for each city. From there came Tokyo. A strong middle-aged woman, another heroine in our story. She fell in love again with a young member named Rio, much younger than her. They both know that this unequal love will not last after the robbery. But the two, intoxicated with primitiveness, want to forget the uncertainty of the future in the present joy.

Rio's father wants to keep him, but what can he do all the time? Also, a strong member of the group is Berlin, who suffers from a secret death, the leader of the party inside the mint in the absence of the professor. He has to make all the difficult decisions, sometimes the other members of the team can't accept them. Then there are twin giant brothers Helsinki and Oslo. One speaks less, and the other does all the terrible jokes. Though hard to see, their mind is clear. There is another enterprising girl named Nairobi, who is always good at printing money. Moscow, Denver - without them the team seemed empty. Meanwhile, another incident happened. 67 hostages have already been mentioned, what if one of them falls in love with a robber member? In the language of psychology, it is called Stockholm Syndrome, where a hostage falls in love with his hostage, at least creating a feeling of love, affection or trust in him. If one of the hostages starts working for the 'robbers', then there is a big danger. And especially when there is someone among the hostages as important as the daughter of an ambassador of the country!

Let's talk about background music or soundtrack. For an exciting story, just as it would be a hundred percent perfect, so much has been done, not less than a point. Sometimes hairy background music will take you to the Royal Mint. And yes, not to mention the intro theme music. The song sung by Cecilia Kraler titled "My Life Is Going On" will fascinate you so much that you can listen to it every time. This is the song-

In the beginning, however, the place of this series was not on Netflix. Alex Pina made the TV series in Spanish for Antenna Three.

The series premiered on May 2, 2017. The first part premiered on Netflix on Christmas Day 2016. However, he edited nine episodes and turned Netflix into thirteen episodes. Then on April 7, 2018, the second part was released on Netflix, six episodes were made into nine episodes. At the same time, it was announced on April 17 that the third season is coming in 2019, and it will be entirely for Netflix. The biggest robbery is not over yet. Netflix, however, did not name the series Spanish, they named it "Money Height", which means "money robbery."

Fans will love a scene like giving a goosebump singing the song 'Bella Ciao'. This revolutionary song sung by Professor and Berlin is historical! Bella Chao is an anti-fascist revolutionary song of resistance and independence during the Italian Civil War from 1943 to 1945. But the mystery is, what is the relationship between Berlin and the professor?

Needless to say, what we see as Royal Mint in the series is not the actual Royal Mint. Permission was asked to shoot there but was not granted. So the shooting was done at the Spanish National Research Council. Have you seen the series with a rating of 8.3 / 10 on IMDB? If you haven't enjoyed it yet, watch the series now to fall in love with the robbers wearing Salvador Dali masks.
