The Taste of Popcorn - About White House Down

Nicolas 2022-04-19 09:01:39

The love-hate thing about Hollywood is that it can always produce such lighthearted, serious, erratic, ambiguous films. The head of state was robbed of power, chaos, and nuclear weapons were out of control. Such a nerve-wracking subject matter of obscenity, there are too many points worth discussing when carefully studied. Summer discounted popcorn and dark hugs between young couples. It is a kind of clever cleverness, and it is also a commercial compromise under the mature industrial system. After wiping it, it is still a bright mirror, reflecting the country on the other side of the ocean.
The film begins by exploring the role of the media in emergencies. Such discussions are hardly new in a country where the media is open, and where the boundaries of the public's right to know (often equated with the enemy's right to know in these moments) is a matter of constant debate. It's just that there is no such problem in the media mouthpiece regime, so our attitude is often schadenfreude: Look, the uncontrolled and unscrupulous media have made trouble. At this moment, we may have overlooked two basic logics: what a country’s conventional system needs to adapt to is not the fall of the White House that happens once every two hundred years, but the oil and salt sauce that happens every day and night, and a nation needs to worry more It should not be the fall of a government but the dictatorship of a regime.
Since then, the speaker's succession has expanded the war and the platform behind the arms dealers, vaguely let people see the shadow of JFK. Arms dealers colluded with politicians and waged wars to pay taxpayers' lives and earn taxpayers' money. This theory is almost considered "civil correct" in the post-Vietnam War America. The screenwriter's arrangement can even be seen as applauding Obama's troop withdrawal plan, but it's just too much. Can the next movie be made of financial giants colluding with politicians and the common people go bankrupt, and then the next film can be made of IT giants colluding with politicians and common people, Baixin's privacy leaked. More importantly, can you ask a Chinese director to direct, because the big bosses in Hollywood may not know that the power of the federal government of your country is really inferior compared to the central government of the great motherland.
Well, finally, it's the turn of the life-threatening daughter of the civilized society standard to appear. The former president raised his hand and surrendered so that Little Loli would not be hurt, and the speaker gave up dozens of hostages for "national interests". Therefore, the president must be a good person, and the speaker can only be the villain Boss. This may be a value that East Asian nations will never truly accept. It is written in our cultural genes that the clan and the collective have little individual status, so as to maintain the culture of national reproduction in this land with frequent disasters and continue to this day. Whether the weight of life should be multiplied by the number of people is a heavy and perhaps eternal topic beyond the scope of this article, we can also criticize the hypocrisy of politicians picking up voters' children at home and ordering drones to kill civilians abroad, or The dereliction of duty of the Air Force pilots refusing to carry out the mission just because of the little loli dancing flag (the most frustrating part of the whole plot). All we hope is that the next time there is a fire, we will not hear the order to let the leaders go first, so that the country we live in and love will probably already be a modern country.
