Time To Get Critical About Representation in “Shameless”
A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.
Mingong
What does it mean to leave? To leave friends, newborn children, the mountains where you grew up? Get on a bus, towards the big city. Living in a room with five others, identical to thousands of other rooms. What does it mean to return? To see a village of aging elders chasing a future that leaves no room. Replace your wooden house with an identical one made of concrete.
We started from the end, from the outskirts of Guangzhou, and arrived at the beginning, in the village of Dimen, looking for those who leave their parents and their children there and leave for the city. An economic boom and all that follows in a small part of a gigantic country. Mingong tells a journey through time, from today’s China to the one that is disappearing.

It's gleefully self-aware without being cynical, silly without being stupid, and maintains that perfect ZAZ-style balance of treating absolute absurdity with complete seriousness. The film knows exactly what it is: a comedy missile designed for maximum laughs, and it hits its target with surgical precision. Pure, unhinged entertainment that proves spoof comedy still has plenty of life left in it.
