Truman

Jiangsu Satellite TV has spared a period of Spanish bullfighting, and still knows the basic process of a bullfight, the spearman, the javelinman, the curved sword, and the cross sword. Once the freshness wears off, it doesn't make any sense. It is estimated that fewer and fewer people are watching, and the show stopped by itself. So this film will never be made in Spain. At first, I sneered at a group of cattle fighting for a seat to die, thinking that this is a bad idea. Ferdinand discovers the truth that he will die no matter what, this is the "truman world" of bullfighting. Then there's the argument with Valeant about the meaning of existence. Ferdinand is a Taoist cow, close to nature, useless. There are three horses living next door, which is used to illustrate that there are also chains of contempt and dances in the animal kingdom. The last scene is a test for the screenwriter, whether he can implement his own values ​​to resolve disputes rather than the instinct of bullfighting, and it is well done. Seeing this, the titles of the film reviews that flashed in my mind were "that day you used a red cloth to cover my eyes and cover the sky" and "there is a bull in my heart, sniffing roses". This time the Secret Service team was replaced by three little hedgehogs. The bunny was stunned twice.
