Reflections on modernity

I personally think that the score is low. After watching the first half, I thought it was just a duel between new energy companies and environmentalists, but the reflection on modernity in the second half raised the quality of the film by a large margin, as urbanization and industrialization. A supporter, Matt Damon went deep into the traditional village. He believed that the greatest benefit of industrialization was to get rich, and he firmly believed that the benefits of getting rich surpassed everything, but in the second half of the movie, when he was the first After being beaten for the second time, he saw his funny pictures hung on the wall of the bar with the villagers. When he saw the land-selling villagers driving the luxury cars to sway the market, when he saw the little girl selling soda and refused to charge him more. When dividing the money, this kind of thinking that industrialization and urbanization trumps everything began to soften in his heart. In the end, Damon gave up what he insisted on when he came. In this land full of human touch, he found back what he once was The memories of my heart have retrieved the warmest things in my memory. These things are not brought about by modernity, industrialization and urbanization, let alone money. This kind of warmth comes from the sense of security brought by simple interpersonal relationships, and looking for this kind of long-lost The sense of security is the purpose of this film.

    The 12-year new film written and starred by Matt Damon feels acceptable. The overall style is relatively mild, small town common people facing a grand promise. The characterization is relatively successful, and the position change is not deliberate. It's not really a new subject, but the overall level is solid.
