end of an era

American firewood girl with British gentleman, this has always been the main dish of romantic comedy in Hollywood, to ensure that the audience will not complain. Kirsten Dunst was originally matched with a stunner like Paul Bettany, and like Diaz with Jude Law, the crime of ruining the British gods is heinous.

Fortunately, there is this film now, which is a mockery and an end to the old model. Chai He Niu finally matched a British ruffian. Of course, for the sake of safety, the screenwriter still found a knighted father for this ruffian. In this way, although the wretched male protagonist seems to be different from the standard British gentleman, he still has a bit of the superiority of the British aristocracy. Rao is so, the kind of ruffian culture that Simon Pegg represents because of the decline has finally entered the mainstream stage of Hollywood.

Culture rises when a society's economy begins to turn from prosperity to decline. It was like this in Italy in the early Renaissance, it was like this in Britain after the First World War, and roughly the same for our children of the Eight Banners. Britain has long since entered a painful stage where the culture looks up and looks back, lest the individual be unable to be independent. America is just getting started. So the helplessness and sadness in the bones, the ruffian attitude of the game life, was first seen in an old industrial area like Pittsburgh, New Jersey. So Simon Pegg is similar to Kevin Smith's Jersey Boys earlier.

This time, the ruffians of the United States and the United Kingdom finally shook hands. Jeff Bridges was selected as the spokesperson for the American side because of his early Big Lebowski performance.
