| It’s the climate in which The Real World: Chicago took
place that’s really gripping; that, and the disparity between
what that climate really was and what we’re seeing onscreen as
the season unfolds. Really, we’d need to speak of two different
things to be clear about it; there’s “The Real World:
Chicago,” which is the television show you watch, which needs
to have its title places in quotation marks since The Real World:
Chicago, had it had any real interest in portraying the world
in which it took place, would have documented the response of the
residents of the neighborhood in which it was filmed: the vocal anger,
the active resistance, the overt attempts at sabotage. |
