I've been very interested in what's going on in the public opinion field lately, you see, in this world where everyone is bad, it's very important for people to believe who is less bad. The Economist's 5.30 issue was eye-catching, not only spending a huge amount of space attacking China, but also stalking the neck to whitewash the US imperialists. However, the purpose and direction of the official media are too obvious, and the face of the anxious roar is on the paper, which can not help but make readers feel amused.

The most powerful carrier of consciousness output must be literary and artistic works. After all, everyone says that culture has no borders. Obviously, in the battlefield of public opinion, Hollywood is almost invincible.

It's no surprise that the black Soviet Union is customary. The Soviet Union is also miserable, and what happened decades ago has to be brought up. However, a mysterious power, an unfamiliar organization, some obscure files, and a topic that will not be prosecuted and refuted, are indeed very good materials.

The key is not whether it is black or not, but how it is black. Everyone is madly hacking others. Some works are embarrassing to watch, and some, like this one, are full of empathy and can't help but chill behind your back.

The Soviet scientist who was caught by the sheriff, Alexei or something, I think is the most powerful and the most powerful in the whole show. What iron-faced agents, cold-blooded officers, are nothing compared to an ordinary person who simply yearns for a happy and peaceful town, a lively National Celebration ceremony, or even just a meal at Burger King. Like other ordinary people, although he worked hard for the organization, he just wanted to live an ordinary and interesting life, where he could play games and win dolls, and would not live under the "control" of others.

In the end, he was executed in secret, just because he longed for the day that everyone yearned for, or it can be said that the United States spared no effort to promote the "American Dream", with one house, one car, one dog and two children. Who can withstand this shock? For Americans who don't study history well, a shot in a movie is more useful than a hundred sentences from a teacher about the evils of capitalism in a classroom, not to mention that a teacher in the classroom doesn't say anything at all. Even I, who studied history thousands of miles away, studied the traps of the capitalist system all day long, and let my sensibility prevail at the moment of tears.

However, Americans also have a tradition of being against their own authority. It can only be said that they do not have "partisan love", but as a nation, they have been nurtured by these consciousnesses and have formed a strong sense of identity and pride.
