"Nashville"

Braxton 2022-01-11 08:02:37

10/10 A miniature American social model, from political elections, entertainment and business and other social surface noises and commotions straight to the multi-dimensional interpretation of history and reality in the hearts of Americans of all ages, metaphors and analyzes the murders of public figures hidden behind The powerlessness, incompetence, despicability, sorrow, and sorrow of idealism against pragmatic conflict in every American's heart. Nevertheless, what runs through the film is the director's consistent humanistic care—a gentle sympathy and humorous satire for all living beings under the established social background. For the United States, the 1970s was a colorful and mixed transition period. There were black civil rights movements, sexual liberation, hippie movements, nuclear war threats, Kennedy assassination, Apollo moon landings, and Vietnam War trauma. Later, it will usher in American dominance. The complete collapse of the post-war financial system and the return of traditional lifestyles and conservative values ​​to the Yuppies era. Ultraman’s classic multi-line narrative is perfectly suitable for the grand and complex social background of architecture, and he really knows how to make a "movie"—the whole film uses music to connect the complex scene relationship with the audience. A bridge of communication, the last 15 minutes of the concert ended with a gunshot and the singing of It Don't Worry Me, which completely involved the audience in the "American-style paintings" of undercurrents, creating a real cinema moment.
