The film is adapted from the story of the Oscar-nominated film "Natural Gas Land". Originally, Matt Damon was going to personally guide it, but finally gave up, and invited his old friend Gus Van Sant to help, which made the film possible. Chengxing meets the world. For beauty, Rosemary DeWitt plays the role. This is a film that is different from the previous American commercial films. Although this is an environmentally friendly story, it is actually a cover. Matt Damon only uses this theme to express more contemporary American elements, politics, people, exploitation, traps and lies. . If you don't understand the current social environment and economic situation in the United States, it may be difficult for viewers to be substituted by the bridge segments in the film, and they will feel like they don't know the so-called after watching it. In fact, Matt Damon is telling a big story.
The English film title "Promised Land" is translated into "应许之地" in Chinese, and the English translation can also be called "乐土". The term "Promised Land" comes from a record in the "Old Testament·Genesis". The pious ancestor of the Israelites Abraham was rewarded by God, allowing his descendants to have a fertile "land of milk and honey"---Canaan , Which is now Jerusalem. Of course, Matt Damon has no intention of discussing the origins of Jerusalem. He only wants to express his views on the "paradise" in which he lives, that is, the US government. When Matt Damon stood in the campus basketball court as a salesman and gave a flicker speech for everyone, with the American flag as the background for a long time, it was a hint of image. This is a routine presidential speech.
When the President of the United States is bluffing the public like a torrent of water, as long as people ask sharp questions, the president will hesitate to answer, because in the established speech, there is no solution at all, only the bluffing procedure. Even so, the president is just a puppet of the government behind the scenes, a salesman for the larger interest group behind it. As the line in the film said: "It's just a job." It can be seen from the whole calm plot that Matt Damon did not swear at America’s impending ruin as Brad Pitt did in "The Gentle Kill," nor did he have a headshot of slow motion art. Only calmly speaking, in a slightly literary and artistic atmosphere, expressing dissatisfaction and contempt for American politicians. If you look at the film from this angle, it will be much more interesting and profound, and you won't be drowsy and do not know what to end.
