I used to chat with my friends and talk about the differences between Chinese and American entertainment stars:
After Chinese celebrities have gained a stable reputation, they either retire or continue to struggle to make money. It is very rare to maintain a high level of production. More often than not, it is not guaranteed to shoot bad films at night. For example, countless fans are distressed by crowdfunding for him. Tony Leung, who was redeemed by loan sharks; while in the United States, his reputation has stabilized, and he began to think about politics and public welfare. Whether it is in the entertainment circle or the sports circle, he has a strong sense of participation in public affairs. The second spring of his life has just started. Singh, Angelina Jolie and George Clooney are close by. (Of course this has a lot to do with the atmosphere of speech in various countries, etc.)
Uncle Clooney has frequently entered the political arena in recent years, and his marriage with the flower of the lawyer industry has been even more powerful. After watching this film today, this feeling is even stronger.
The overall film is very dull, and the soundtrack is a bit like Hitchcock. Although it is a suspenseful film, the mystery has been revealed in one-third of the place. Usually, the psychology of investigating the crime that the audience wants cannot be satisfied here. This is because its focus is actually showing racial discrimination, hypocritical religion, and the evil of human nature. After watching the whole movie, there are two major comparisons to support this argument:
One is to talk about racial discrimination of one thing and another. At the beginning of the film is a small town utopian publicity advertisement. Brothers from all over the world are welcome to come to our town and run for a well-off life together. And the facts? A black family moved into the small town and became the neighbor of the male protagonist, but they were discriminated against and excluded from the first day they moved in: the messenger’s colored treatment, the neighbors’ disputes, and then the neighbor’s house. The separation wall, the high price refusal to sell in the supermarket, the beating, looting and burning... all the absurdity is incompatible with the propaganda, and this is only because the other party is black, even if they stay safe and do nothing bad;
The racial discrimination mentioned above is just a side line, completely removed and does not affect the plot, but the director kept it to highlight the next second contrast-compared with the unprovoked humiliation of blacks, the superior white male protagonist has unlimited beauty. Respected, in fact, it is evil and extremely ugly. Under the cloak of hypocrisy of religion, the male protagonist hated his paralyzed wife, ganged up with his sister-in-law, and even hired a killer to act to kill his wife in order to defraud him of huge insurance money. After the bad deeds were gradually exposed, he had no intention of repentance, and finally even threatened his son to lie, or even his son would be killed. Even the most basic humanity has been lost, so what about the superiority of white people? Compared with the black neighbors who are excluded from the outside world, but the family is kind and harmonious, the white family represented by the male protagonist is nothing short of feathers. The courtesy, justice and shame are all stepped on the feet, which is not unbelievably ironic.
The bad guys in the film have basically got an arrangement of retribution. He loves the little boy who has witnessed everything. His acting skills are great, especially the tears when he was forced to kill him by his father. The heroine Moore also acted well. But Damon feels that he is not online, and the character is portrayed like the back of him riding a small bicycle home after throwing his body in the film-too short to bear the character. Maybe the directors Clooney and Damon want this kind of feeling-the American middle-class image that is similar to the American beauty in "American Beauty".
