If I want to pick a movie with the most American temperament, I will choose "Nashville" without hesitation. This film does not have an American temperament because of the creation of a personal hero and an American dream. On the contrary, Robert Altman cut the American head sharply and showed the "spirit" in his brain on the operating table. In the 70s, when there were TV shows, hippies, rock music, drugs, and sexual indulgence, it was the most diverse, free and charming era in American society. And this kind of charm comes from the rise of the cultural industry, in which radio and television have played an important role. With the output of the simplification of the cultural industry, people have also become one-way. And rebels who resisted this kind of cultural totalitarianism also appeared, and the two forces tore each other, so it was so lively. In addition, if you love music, especially country music lovers, this film will definitely make you climax. The bar or stage concerts in large and large sections are overwhelming, which also shows another American temperament.
All the characters appeared one by one at the airport and the singing actress Barbara's airport welcome ceremony shortly after the beginning of the film. The orchestra, the army, the school’s student performance team, countless crazy star fans, politicians, political propaganda slogans and political slogans on the radio, the scene is grand and chaotic. This is an airport life from the age of entertainment to death. At the airport, an old man with his wife who was seriously ill greeted his niece who had not seen him for a long time.

The lead singer of the black choir, the female gospel singer Linna is considered to be the more prominent role in the film. She has two deaf children. Facing the BBC female reporter Ombre, who always missed opportunities to interview celebrities and was always rejected, Linna told the female reporter about her family as a singer, but she was rejected... Linna interacted with the two children sign language at home The passage is a rare warm time in the film. But in the end, she derailed to Tom, a rock singer who was crazy chasing her on the phone. She went to the bar for an appointment and fell completely after hearing Tom's moving singing. After the two one-night stand, Linna put on clothes and went home embarrassingly, while Tom was on the phone with his girlfriend and lied that the door closing sound when Linna left was made by the room service...I always dreamed of becoming a singer After the waitress sang an out-of-tune song in the bar, she had to dance a striptease to meet the audience’s demands amidst the men’s chuckles...

The old man whose wife was seriously ill and was hospitalized brought his niece to the hospital. The niece went on a diet for the sake of beauty and figure. As a result, she became skinny. She also seduce and talked up with men everywhere, and didn't care about the seriously ill aunt. In the end, the aunt died, leaving the old man alone in grief. The singer and the show organizer negotiated whether the show incorporates political elements, what type of music can have commercial value, and the audience. In the era of proliferation of cultural commodities, in this era of utilitarianism and instrumental rationality, art and art commodities have already run counter to each other. In the final performance, the organizer and Barbara’s husband quarreled over the political banners hung on the stage. The singer did not want to participate in political elements in the performance, but in fact, politics was everywhere. The final performance was held as scheduled. All the characters gathered together again, only to be shot. Barbara was wounded to the ground, life and death unknown. After everyone carried her away, the organizer did not end the performance, but ended the spiritual opium journey with the incomparably beautiful singing of a rescued female singer and a black choir.
