Malcolm In The Middle

Some share on the Earth, more precisely, in a small American city, Malcolm makes us sign. He challenges us because he has an adventure not banal to tell us. This adventure, it is his. Malcolm wants to announce his reflexion to us on the life of a quiet little boy of the middle class, which moreover has just a very small quality: an intelligence quotient of 165. As much to say that his remarks on the life do not miss the prickly one...

Overworked parents, normally unbearable children, the discovery of the social life at the school, here is the decoration planted for the Malcolm young person, just ten years and which observes his small world with a strange wisdom. He fears the orders of his mother, supervises the unforeseeable reactions of his father, regrets the absence of his elder brother, left in a military college, and disputes with his two brothers. At the school, he aspires to normality, but an event will hustle his small news: he will already continue his schooling in a class for exceptionally gifted... that his parents found him strange!

Improbable fusion where one would see Parker Lewis living the years blows of heart, the series is a hallucinated chronicle of America seldom, one will have seen a series being let go at this point there. Sophisticated, simple, satirical, laughing, Malcolm in the Middle plays the chart of complexity and in the car a new portrait of the middle-class. Of course it Married there, 2 Children , Roseanne , Simpson , South Park (and all other drawings animated for adults), but the glance of this 10 years little genius offers a new approach of the American life, and its youth.

By adopting the point of view of the Malcolm young person, the authors scramble the tracks and all that they show can be allotted in deforming comparison with the child. From this moment, the series can about all say. All to show. Such as for example the intimacy of Lois and Hal. They spend their naked time on their premises, are often looking at in a charming glances, and show a pretty selfishness vis-a-vis their children. Does incomprehension enter the offspring and the parents? The solution is simple: the offspring is sent direct in a military boarding school. Beautiful example of pedagogy. Sad education... not time that that! Because after even the children acknowledge that the sanction is right. Boomer never judges: there is no miraculous formula to educate his children. There is not good education. But Lois and Hal are right "bigger than life". Just like Malcolm is above this small universe with his amused vision and shingling life. In fact, the series plays the role of insane with close to a king: under cover of is delirious, it is allowed to say some truths felt well on the operation and the reality of the family

Malcolm

Large opened eyes, a frimousse polissonne, Malcolm very has some 10 year old child: energetic, mischievous and amused. Malcolm loves its family even if the conflicts are numerous. He goes to the school where he seems a normal boy. But the young boy will have if to make: he is more intelligent than the majority of the children.

They live in one to one and other which she seems to control, but her work in a shopping mall, prevents her from better dealing with her offspring. She is very proud to have an exceptionally gifted child in the house but that does not change anything when sanctions should be taken. She has the capacity deciding in the house.

Hal

With his glance of confused, Hal is a kind of extraterrestrial in the family. Incompetent to decide anything, often irresponsible, he is not even able to hold a speech in front of his son. But what counts for him, it is the heat of a hearth... and to depilate the body every three weeks.

Francis

To force to accumulate the blunders, the chopper fell on the elder brother from Malcolm. His parents sent him in a military academy so that he learns the discipline. But even far from the house, Francis is the best ally of Malcolm. On the telephone, he always gives him good councils to face the parental authority. The army does not seem to have decreased his direction of the trick and the perfidy. In the final analysis, he is a small good.

Reese

The junior by the family spends his time showing Malcolm as soon as the parents ask for an explanation about a silly thing. However Reese loves his brother: this is why they spend their time to grouped. Since he learned that his brother is probably a genius, he thinks that Malcolm is a kind of soothsayer.

Dewey

Small Darling of Lois, Dewey is also the last of the family. He has thus evil to be made hear and his large ears and his ingenuous airs make of him a target of choice. In the absence of all to understand of what it occurs around him, he learned with its leanings, solidarity.

Caroline Miller

Adviser of orientation, she is also the professor of the class specialized for "the heads of bulbs". Enthusiastic and optimistic, she spends more time reassuring the parents, rather than the children.

Stevie

Last buddy in date of Malcolm, Stevie has many problems. He speaks very slowly (what irritates Malcolm), he thus has a bad sight of the glasses which do not put him at his advantage and he is nailed on a wheel chair. Not very lucky, Stevie however has points in common with Malcolm: he is exceptionally gifted and is impassioned for the comic strips.
