The background is the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, the advertising industry.
The male protagonist who came from a humble background and experienced ups and downs, by mistake, impersonated another person and returned from the battlefield. From then on, he started a new life with a new name and made a big splash in the advertising industry. Such as beautiful family members and a pair of lively and lovely children, but the pain of childhood life and the guilt of impostor always torment this "winner in life" with a bright appearance and a dark and gloomy inside (personally I think this character is very well-shaped success).
In addition, this film can see the national conditions of the United States and the state of the people in that era. On the surface, the big guys live a lively life, but in fact everyone is lonely and depressed, and their hearts are chaotic, so the external performance is unscrupulous in their careers. Intricate physical relationships and emotional entanglements. At the same time, this film also vividly portrays the lowliness of women in that era and the discrimination of men against women. The only flaw is that Peggy didn't know she was pregnant until she gave birth. This is really stupid. The talent is too different.
In the end, the intro is cool, very cool.
