Narcos
NARCOS (2015)

Escobar ( Wagner Moura ), known as the South American drug lord, bought off the Colombian military and police and created the Medellin Cartel, a huge drug trafficking organization that even the government could not touch. He made a huge fortune through efficient drug business and was even about to enter the political world.
American society is plagued by serious drug contamination due to the massive amounts of drugs distributed by the cartels, but the military and police of drug-producing countries are strengthening their ties with the cartels, making it extremely difficult to crack down on the drug, and the situation is only getting worse.
To solve the problem, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) sends agents to Colombia. Agent Murphy ( Boyd Holbrook ) from Miami, where the drugs landed, and Agent Peña ( Pedro Pascal ), a Hispanic agent fluent in Spanish, form a special team and cooperate with the Colombian government's law enforcement organization to arrest Escobar and prevent the flow of drugs into the US, but...

Narcos (2015) is a suspense drama based on a true story that faithfully recreates the exploits of the real-life drug lord Pablo Escobar , who built a huge drug trafficking organization in South America from the 1980s to the 1990s, and the real-life investigators Steve Murphy and Javier Peña who cornered him.
Pedro Pascal, who plays the taciturn agent Peña, who is kind-hearted but gentle with women and never reveals the identity of his informants, wears an Orient Star Automatic (Ref. BEM5X003D ) in the film.
The story is set in the 1980s and 1990s, a time when Japanese-made cars and home appliances were known as " Made in Japan" and enjoyed great popularity around the world. Seiko , Citizen, and Orient watches, which are highly accurate, durable, and inexpensive, were also overwhelmingly popular in South American countries, where the average annual income of the general public is low. This watch has been chosen to give a strong sense of the historical background of the time.

The British independent spy organization " Kingsman ", which was established for the purpose of maintaining world peace, is attacked by the drug cartel "Golden Circle" and is destroyed, leaving only a few survivors. The surviving young agent Eggsy ( Taron Egerton ) and his assistant Merlin ( Mark Strong ) head to America, relying on a clue left in a whiskey bottle left at the headquarters.
The two visit a brewery in Kentucky that produces whiskey. They sneak into an unnaturally heavily guarded whiskey warehouse and discover that it is the headquarters of " Statesman ," an independent spy organization like "Kingsman," and that Harry ( Colin Firth ), a veteran agent of "Kingsman" who was thought to be dead, is living there with amnesia.
Meanwhile, the Golden Circle demands that the President of the United States legalize drugs. If the government does not accept the request, they threaten that hundreds of millions of Americans will die from poisons that have been added to the drugs. Eggsy and Merlin, who take the situation seriously, begin a mission to destroy the Golden Circle with Harry, who has regained his memory, and Whiskey ( Pedro Pascal ), an agent of the Statesman.

" Kingsman " (2014) depicts the exploits of a British gentleman agent who values courtesy and manners above all else and never compromises on his formal style of suit and leather shoes even when fighting the enemy. In the second film in the series, " Kingsman: The Golden Circle " (2017), Pedro Pascal plays a member of the cowboy-style American spy organization "Statesman", codenamed "Whiskey".
The watch he wears in the film is a TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Chronograph (Ref. CAW211P.FC6356 ) . Other members of the Statesman also wear the same watch, so it may be the watch officially adopted by the organization.
The Monaco with the left crown and Caliber 11 is a model known to have been worn by Hollywood actor Steve McQueen . Wearing this reproduction model seems to symbolize "America."
Wonder Woman 1984
WONDER WOMAN 1984 (2020)

America in 1984 during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union. Diana Prince ( Gal Gadot ) worked as an archaeologist at the Smithsonian Museum while fighting evil as Wonder Woman. One day, a strange stone engraved with the words "grant one wish" was delivered to the museum for identification of smuggled stolen goods. When Diana wished for her long-dead lover Steve ( Chris Pine ) to be brought back to life, Steve really did come back to life in the present day.
In exchange, Diana loses her superpowers as Wonder Woman, but conversely, her fellow female scientist Barbara ( Kristen Wiig ), who wished to be like Diana after using the mineral, gains superpowers.
In fact, the person who was originally trying to smuggle the ore was an ambitious oil entrepreneur named Max Lord ( Pedro Pascal ). He approaches Barbara, tricks her, and succeeds in stealing the ore, and gaining the enormous power that the ore holds...

" Wonder Woman 1984 " (2020) is the second film in the "Wonder Woman" series, which depicts the exploits of DC Comics' representative female hero . This film has a retro feel set in 1984. Pedro Pascal plays Max, a shady CEO of a new oil company that tries to take over the world with the power of magical minerals.
Max looks just like a certain former US president when he was young (when he was a real estate mogul) (lol). The watch he wears in the film is thought to be a Rolex Datejust (Ref. 16238G ) with solid gold and 10P diamonds.
Solid gold Day-Date and Datejust watches are the watches that con artists and investors always wear in movies. This shows how effective they are at gaining the trust of others. If a good person wears it, it's a good watch, but if a bad person wears it, it's a bad watch. This model is a good example of the relationship between the watch and the wearer .
summary
What did you think.
Pedro Pascal is a Hispanic actor who is quickly becoming one of the most popular stars in Hollywood. Not only is he a talented actor, but he also has charisma and a strong character, so much so that his co-stars joke that they hate him for being too humble. In the world of TV dramas, where leading actors are frequently forced to step down due to sexual gossip and power harassment, it is only natural that he, who has nothing to do with such troubles, would be valued as a main character.
