In fact, Hollywood can make good movies too.

I admit that I was poisoned by Woody Allen. Even if I saw a movie that had nothing to do with him, but the same chattering and constantly throwing away the burden, I would immediately die as if I had drank coffee and cigarettes. Spiritually, it is very sad to not read it in one breath.
Although it is related to tobacco, this film has nothing to do with morals and does not reverse the verdict on the harm of cigarettes (so politics cannot be correct), but the people who oppose cigarettes in the film are generally not very bright, and the protagonist is a good father and good friend. Personally, I think what the film wants to tell us is what Eckhart told the children at the beginning of the elementary school class, "Is this what your mother told you? Is she an expert?". . . . . . What is the essence of freedom? Do people have the right to choose, even if they choose mistakes that are harmless to others?
Cigarettes are harmful to health, but someone who smokes should not be banned. Cars may have a car accident. Some people still have to sit. Cheese can cause high blood pressure. Some people still want to eat them. Bubble. . . . . .
Well, I don't smoke, I don't support smoking, I hate secondhand smoke, I tried smoking, but I didn't think it was right for me, and now I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it. Of course, I also hope to have the opportunity to go to face*****book, go to Baodao Forum to communicate with the middle-aged people of Baodao, and go out for a walk in the evening with itchy feet. . . . . .
So the debate competition in the film should really be won by the tall girl "because otherwise, we won't be free, that's why our government is the best of the world."
To be honest, I think Eckhart's in this film The performance far surpasses all his other films (in the range I've seen), and brings this eloquent and logical lobbyist to life, in contrast, his son or ex-wife is more like a standard performance, not so good (Of course, not too bad). The backlit shot of the former cigarette advertisement actor returning to the car was very warm and very good. Every time the MOD group party collided with bald heads and beautiful women, a bunch of wonderful dialogues could be produced. There are no long shots between AC and deep lines. It's just so exhilarating and sharp, which makes people feel good for 90 minutes. I like it very much.
