This is an excellent political satire that indirectly alludes to ridicule the mainland!

The enemy and adversary of a nation should be another nation, not a creature or a single individual.

However, in the film, two civilians are forced to take on the important task of "enemy of the country"!
Really fucking absurd! These two American civilians are really powerful enough to compete for a country!

On the other hand, in the mainland, just a few words or an article written by a fart is considered to be able to subvert the government! Why is this government so weak and vulnerable? Tofu dregs government is this?

So, I think this is an excellent political satire film that insinuates and mocks the autocratic society of the mainland!
