While most who watch The Wire enjoy the comforts of leather couches and surround sound, Carmelo Anthony watches with an insightful eye. He grew up on the same streets that the show depicts. Carmelo knows the plight of the young black men who survive on the cold corners of West Baltimore.
HBO’s The Wire uncovers the skeletons of West Baltimore. The show forces audiences to recognize the corrupt systems that affect all citizens. From the mayor’s office to the corners of abandoned tenements, The Wire taps into the hierarchy of politicians, police and drug pushers alike.
Many viewers of the critically acclaimed television show have become enthralled by the show’s motley and unlikely characters who challenge Hollywood’s paradigms. Often the drug dealers are more ethical than the police chain of command.
Carmelo Anthony says, “It’s real. Everything is real about it.”
Carmelo’s confirmation about the show’s authenticity is frightening. The Wire’s fourth season focused on middle school children who are sharp and intelligent, but are unable to overcome shattered families: absent fathers, addicted mothers, and grinding poverty.
“It ain’t got no age,” Anthony is adamant when asked when the drug game starts.

Anthony has become friends with much of the cast from The Wire. Pictured above are (from left to right) Jamie Hector who plays Marlo Stanfield, Anwan Glover who plays Slim Charles, Nathan Corbett who plays Donut and Jermaine Crawford who plays Duquan "Dukie" Weems. These cast members attended Anthony's annual H.O.O.D. Movement 3-on-3 Youth Basketball Tournament in Baltimore this past June.
Method Man of the Wu Tang Clan, who plays Melvin ‘Cheese’ Wagstaff on The Wire says in the audio commentary supplement to the Season 4 DVDs, “These kids, they are so caught up in the life, they don’t see anything else for themselves.” Children are so busy surviving, most can’t see beyond the day’s pay.
Carmelo escaped the traps that capture so many: the under-funded public school systems, the racial profiling of police and politicians, the pressures to peddle packages of dope and the bullets that kill too many young men.
“Especially in Baltimore, basketball is one of the only escapes,” Anthony says.
While The Wire is a fictional depiction of hardened lives, Carmelo authenticates both the loneliness of the city’s stoops and the inherent hope.
The Wire’s creator/executive producer, David Simon says in the audio commentary supplement to the Season 4 DVDs, “These voices out of Baltimore are not really the voices anyone pays attention to…The Wire reflects a certain amount of disappointment that I feel in terms of what’s happened to my city and what my city has been made to endure.”
Carmelo thinks, “He’s depicting it right. He’s reaching a lot of the masses.”
Michael Kenneth Williams, who plays Omar Little, discussed the racial significance of The Wire in the audio commentary supplement to the Season 4 DVDs, “It’s not a black thing, it’s not a white thing; it’s a cultural thing, it’s a class thing and it’s a problem.”
The Wire employs a 70% black cast and storylines emphasize color lines.
“We don’t really have that many white people in Baltimore, especially in the inner city. The only white people we have are the police and the politicians,” Anthony says.
The Wire is more than entertainment, it educates audiences about what life is like for those who are often overlooked. Carmelo powered himself to stardom much like he jab steps and drives to the basket. The relentlessness that Carmelo plays with under the NBA spotlight originated on the concrete boulevards of West Baltimore.
Many might find faults in a television show that recreates the streets he or she grew up on, but Carmelo endorses The Wire, “It’s the best show on television.”
The fifth and final season of The Wire premiered on HBO Sunday, January 6.
当大多数人躺在皮沙发上观看《THE WIRE》听着环绕音响的时候，卡梅隆。安东尼则是用更深入的视角来观看这部电视剧的。他成长在这电视剧所描写的同一条大街。卡梅隆了解那些在巴尔迪摩西部的阴冷角落谋生的年轻黑人的生活。
HBO的《THE WIRE》没有完全揭示出巴尔迪摩西部的完全架构。这部电视剧重在让观众认识到那影响着所有当地居民的腐朽黑暗的毒品交易系统。从市长的办公室到那破修不堪的廉价房的角落，《THE WIRE》将政客、警察和毒贩子层层拉近。
这部颇受好评的电视剧的许多观众，开始被这电视剧的多种多样的描述以及挑战好莱坞传统叙述首发的不平常的结构所吸引。通常就是毒贩子比政府系统更有道德伦理。
卡梅隆。安东尼说，“那是真的。每件事都是真实的。”
卡梅隆证实了这电视剧宁人恐惧的剧情真实性。《THE WIRE》第四季焦点集中在那些精明能干的中学生身上，这些中学生没有办法克服一个支离破碎的家庭所带来的厄运：从小就没有的父亲，沉迷于毒品的母亲，以及折磨人的贫穷。
“那可是任何年龄都这样，”安东尼在被问到何时开始这毒品游戏的时候这样生硬地回答。

安东尼现在已经和《THE WIRE》的大部分演员成为了朋友。以上的照片从左至右依次为amie Hector 饰演 Marlo Stanfield, Anwan Glover 饰演 Slim Charles, Nathan Corbett 饰演 Donut and Jermaine Crawford 饰演 Duquan "公爵" Weems.这些演员们都参加了安东尼在07年6月举办的H.O.O.D三对三篮球赛。
Method Man of the Wu Tang Clan。在《THE WIRE》中饰演了Melvin ‘干酪’ Wagstaff的他在第四季的DVD中附盘种说，“这些孩子，他们被生活无情地抓住，他们看不到他们的出路。”孩子们忙着生存，大都看不到未来。
卡梅隆逃离了电视剧里所描述的大多数场景：资金不足的公共学校，有种族歧视的警察和政客，沿街叫卖的毒品和杀了很多人的子弹。
“篮球是唯一的逃离方式，特别是在巴尔迪摩，”安东尼说
当《THE WIRE》还在虚构着描绘那艰难的生活的时候，安东尼早已清楚地鉴别出孤独的屈服和内在的希望的区别了。
《THE WIRE》的剧作者和执行导演，大卫。西蒙在第四季DVD的附盘种说道，“这些在巴尔迪摩以外的声音不是某些人真正会注意到的声音。。。《THE WIRE》反映的是一个我在那些发生在我所居住的城市，在城市中不得不被隐忍的我所感觉到确切的巨大数量的失望。”
卡梅隆认为，“他的描述是正确的。他应该遇到过许多的麻烦。”
迈克 肯尼斯 威廉姆斯，饰演奥马尔。利特尔，在第四季DVD种附盘谈到了种族歧视的问题，“那不是黑人的事，不是白人的事，那是个文化的东西。那是个级别问题而且那是个问题！”
《THE WIRE》中百分之七十都是黑人演员，而且大多数剧情都与种族问题有关。
“其实巴尔迪摩并没有电视剧里那么多的白人，尤其是在市中心。在巴尔迪摩我们大多数碰到的白人就是警察和政客。”安东尼说。
《THE WIRE》已经大大超过了娱乐的范畴，它告知了观众那些高高在上的人物的真实生活。卡梅隆当年像这剧中的演员一样迈着艰难的步子去打球，那些在NBA聚光灯下比赛中对对手的无情，最初起源于西巴尔迪摩的水泥土林荫大道上。
许多人也许会找出这剧中许多描写他们生长的地方所不符合的地方，但是卡梅隆认可这部电视剧，“这是我看过的最好的电视剧。”
《THE WIRE》第五季也是最终季将在美国时间6月6日在HBO电视台播出。
