3. The meaning of Red State. Red means radical and leftist. In the United States, it usually refers to states that support conservative parties. Perhaps it is radical, conservative and even violent here.
4. The theme of the movie: the right granted. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, also known as the Bill of Rights, clarifies the scope of American power, including freedom of speech and religion. The Second Amendment to the Constitution ensures the freedom of Americans to hold guns. But when the fanatical belief transcends the law, he believes that the rights granted do not originate from the law but from God, while religious believers use weapons to infringe on the rights of others. At the same time, there is another thread in the movie. When the police tried to kill all the members of the Five Points sect without investigation, the rights they were granted were contrary to the law.
5. The movie has some black humorous meanings, including the young man who has escaped the thieves’ den with a gun and was shot down by the police surrounded by outside, including the end of the shootout, and the sound of the horn that made the five-point sect think it was a god’s fairy sound. The college students who grow marijuana deliberately broadcast it and so on, which makes people laugh.
6. Excerpts from the movie remarks. Joseph Keenan: People just do the strangest things when they believe they're entitled. But they do even stranger things when they just plain believe.
