We think that the characters in the series are actually characters drawn with sharp lines, how unexpected they actually are, and sometimes they are completely inconsistent that everyone could understand. It would be an unexpected behavior, again, that even the masks they wore belonged to a group that belonged to the artist’s perception and morality, like Salvador Dalí, wouldn’t it be unexpected? What a paradox!
The series is really based on this paradox, the character that should behave the strictest and coolest can display more than one soft, emotional or pleasant behavior, and then it can break the prejudices based on the character in our mind. On the contrary, those who seem soft-tempered and calm can darken their eyes and act very calmly and cause unexpected bleeding.
First, we need to talk about the members of the group:
One of the points that the series emphasizes too many times is that the members of the group were chosen not by coincidence but by picking over. None of the gang members are found there by chance, even Denver, Moskov’s son.
Berlin: If you’ve noticed the cities of the states that were active in World War 2, you can look at the series with a second perspective. For example, when Berlin presents Nazi Germany that came to power in World War 2, he talks about his own past in a cynical manner and tells how much it was deceived and broken. This attrition was actually the result of the wave that hit Germany after World War 1. However, Germany managed to develop again and entered World War 2 with a very harsh and nihilistic influence. It is mentioned in Berlin and his illness that he will die very soon and that his life depends on his medication. It is here that we see that Germany has a similar attitude to the Holocaust as we move towards the fall of Berlin and the inevitable end, and we even notice the obvious connotation of the order in which it holds the hostages bound. Moreover, when the police talk about Berlin, they see him as someone who has nothing to lose with the sickness that he has, just like Übermansch, who was influential in the Germany period.
Tokyo: The Second World War did not witness a state as contrary and memorizing as Japan, and Tokyo during the robbery as contrary and disrupting order. If you know who started the War, I’m guessing it’s no coincidence that the first member shown was Tokyo, because World War II begins with Japan’s invasion of Manchuria on September 18, 1931.
Moscow: As a character figure of the Soviet Union era Russia, we can see what a great success it actually achieved in the background of the work. As you know, tunneling works in Moscow, as you know, as a state that has experienced a workers’ revolution and passed into a communist structure, this is actually the message that is exactly the message that the father figure that Moscow formed in the group is a reference to the Soviet Union in the eyes of these states and the wave of Communism spreading around the world.
Denver: It is one of the cities of the United States in the state of Colorado. The presence of the USA in World War 2 was indeed an unexpected event, just like Denver was on the team. However, they were one of the most important fronts in the 2nd World War, and we can say that they changed the course of the war. Just like the course of the revolt during the robbery was actually replaced by Monica, indirectly in love with him, and of course, there was an alliance between the USSR and the U.S. during the 2nd World War, which resulted in the closing of the Nazi era with the fall of Berlin. Monica’s survival was also the result of this alliance.
Rio: Like an interesting country involved in the war, he comes across as an interesting man involved in the robbery. That must be the reason for all these South American tunes in his character. Imagine a man who has absolutely no connection to the robbery except for technological events, here’s Rio! In World War 2, Brazil was similarly revived in our minds as a country in the background. But it is worth noting that they did not remain neutral and did not withdraw from the war until the end of the war.
Helsinki and Oslo: Finland and Norway are one of the fronts where the war has been hard. As states that collided with the occupying forces occupied before the peoples became aware of the event, Finland entered into three major wars and fought these wars against the Soviet Union, and then Germany, to which they were allies, but later gained independence. The situation in Norway is very tragic, like what happened to Oslo in the series. The state is occupied by the Germans and undergoes long bombing processes. These bombardments leave huge destruction behind them. Especially in the city of Oslo. They were able to show a very weak resistance during the occupation, and even the king and the government survived by fleeing to London, one of our characters who tragically died in the series was Oslo.
Nairobi: Perhaps our most positive character in the series was Nairobi. She was out there, actually controlling and managing the mint while the war was going on. Kenya is not one of the states we have heard of active in World War 2. However, during the 2nd World War, they were on Italian occupation, and therefore they were involved in the war.
The founder of the group, aka Professor: He says that the plans and the idea of the robbery were not his own, but his father’s. Indeed, we see that his father was shot to death during an attempted robbery. As we explained, every city code was actually characters that were customized and given individual images. So, who’s the Professor? The Professor is no one, he is not a World War 2 country, but of course, he has a meaning as well. The Professor is actually science! The point that the Professor was at odds with, as we know, the relationship between Raquel, which, as we know, is completely contrary to the robbery plan, and the Professor risked the whole plan falling apart as the scientific method, as opposed to rationality. This is where the Professor was at odds.
