Damon, who chose to quiet down after "The Bourne," did not have a very outstanding performance today, perhaps because of my high expectations. Now it seems that I would be happy to see Damon return to "The Bourne" and dare to return to "The Hurt Locker", so that it will be good for everyone...
well, stop here. Forgive me for not knowing how to make a gorgeous dividing line...
Damon, who wrote "Mind Catcher" at the age of 29, gave us a heart potato soup today. There is no pornographic scenes, no bloody violence, and a film based on the routines of American dramas. It looks a bit familiar. A remote town, barren land, and unsufficient life defines people living on the farm as potatoes struggling in the land, short-sighted, confused, and listening to the wind and rain.
Forgive me for being lazy to omit the introduction of this film. To sum up, Steve discovered the lie of his opponent Dustin after suffering several setbacks and he was in sight of victory, but because he asked himself one more question, he found himself in a bigger lie. And manipulation. Finally, the envy and anger after being fooled made him choose to die.
This is a story that happened on a farm, and in the story, except for the parties on the farm, everyone did their own thing... This is also understandable. After all, not everyone graduated from MIT and has a dazzling Once, and after retirement, I have enjoyed teaching in rural schools. So most people can only be like Alice, purely in their hearts to judge, even the two sides who stand fast can get a smile here; or become those farmers who are struggling in poverty and holding the government’s food and clothing in the bar. , Was at a loss after being exposed, and then threw a fist to end the embarrassment and maintain a little dignity. Only the bosses of Global are always sober. They control Dustin and perform a series of environmental dramas; they use these performances to win the favor of the locals to fool old Franki, and use the ambiguity of Dustin and Alice to inspire Steve to either return to New York or lose everything. The performance was too successful, and when they deliberately exposed the lie at the end, they already had the chance to win. We must support what the so-called enemy opposes. The people have long lost their self-judgment, or they have never had it at all. This process is like the drama that is performed every day in Weibo, back and forth, up and down. Democracy is just the people playing a game with the decision-makers. But this time, what the bosses didn't expect was that the recoil of the game also forced the loyal and hardworking Steve to be simple and rude.
What about other towns? In addition to Global, there may be international and Universal... But will there be so many Steves who will reveal it at the end? The Promised Land, the heavenly land filled with honey, needs to go through the trials of generations, from Abraham, to Moses, to Samson... It is destined to be eventful, but it is also the place where people want to go back and want to stay. . This town is not Steve's promised land, his hometown has long been changed by industry, and he has never been back. His feelings for this town only depend on the nostalgia for Alice and the memories of his former hometown, and the next Steve may not have so many invitations.
My ancestors moved from Shanxi, where they have lived through the past, to bid farewell to the old house wrapped in deep walls to Shenyang, and I walked from Shenyang to Shanghai and Paris. I have long been unable to tell where my hometown is. So in the news, I saw the new rural construction, When enclosing the title of building a house, it did not resonate with me at all. My ancestors have already put the last bargaining chip on the table. People who have lost their land have nothing to lose, and after that, they won't get anything. They have become out-and-out proletarians, without their hometowns, and become poor individuals; they are also free from shackles, let alone loyal to the concepts of a piece of land or a country.
So I think that a film about land at this time has nothing to do with environmental protection...
