1. The general background of the anti-terrorism situation and the oil crisis
As we all know, on September 11, 2001, the "911 Incident" that shocked the world occurred, which was also the most traumatic moment in the United States.
In 2011, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 incident, the global anti-terrorism situation has undergone new changes. Gaddafi was killed tragically, bin Laden was shot dead, the "Arab Spring" incident that occurred in more than ten countries in the Middle East, and the collapse of power politics. With the sudden emergence of religious forces and the continuing chaotic situation, the "Arab Spring" has been called by experts as a political event with enormous influence comparable to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the same year, the US debt crisis and the Occupy Wall Street movement paved the way for the US withdrawal from Iraq the following year.
In 2011, a worldwide oil crisis broke out. Due to the instability of the surrounding situation such as Saudi Arabia, the possibility of oil supply interruption has emerged. The gradual shrinking of spare capacity is also further pushing up oil prices. Even if the world's dependence on oil has slowed down, rising oil prices will inevitably lead to global inflation and monetary tightening, thereby curbing the growth of the world economy.
Films and other cultural and entertainment products have always served economic and political development, and Riefenstahl's "Victory of the Will" was criticized for glorifying the Nazis. Under the premise of so many milestones in the world economy and politics in 2011, Disney and Pixar have judged that it was an unreasonable choice to use the best-selling Cars series as a reflection of the background of this series.
2. Deviating from the essence of
the racing car The essence of the film is that the racing car is just a pretense. The use of planes, cannons, and tanks to replace the racing car has no substantial impact on the succession and merger of the incident. It is estimated that this is an important failure of the film that has been criticized by fans.
In the face of the above international political background, the film sets Diane as a spy to solve the conflict between emerging I energy and old energy. This setting is reminiscent of Chairman Mao Zedong's revolutionary strategy of "encircling the city from the countryside".
Changing the protagonist could have played a role in promoting the development of peripheral product sales, but the film had to take care of the feelings of McQueen fans, so the friendship between the two had to be tested at the level of espionage conspiracy. It's not a problem to be flattering on both sides, the film also infiltrated the LGBT tendency, and made the two scenes full of love, just like "Sherlock", so that the audience can enjoy this clichéd fake 007 spy war movie. At the same time, add an excuse. Watching McQueen and Banya is like watching "Smith vs. Smith's Wife" many years ago, its absurdity and weirdness really make people laugh.
From the perspective of high school politics, the first episode of [Cars] is about the content of "Life and Philosophy", the background metaphor of the second episode is related to "Economic Life" and "Political Life", and the movie itself is "Life and Philosophy". A major carrier of cultural life.
Therefore, to learn high school politics well, remember to watch Pixar's [Cars] series.
