There are only two ways to solve this situation. Generally, we will choose the first one: no one should be guilty, and the Chinese New Year Gala will come out. Most Americans choose the second one: offend everyone and "kick everyone in the ass" ( South Park creator's self-report), no matter the left, center, and right wingers are hit, everyone will feel their sore buttocks contentedly and point to the guy at the opposite door and laughed: ya got kicked too! !
To say so much, that is to say the essence of the film "American Dreamz". The apparent spearhead of this film is aimed at the industrialized entertainment draft and the President of the United States. However, upon closer inspection, you will find that the director has a good intentions and carpeted everything that American society can ridicule. It may not be sharp and profound, but The fundamentals are comprehensive. If you know more about American society, it is easier to find interesting places in the film.
For example, the sarcasm of the core social forces composed of white people in the United States: "Every American thinks that he is a middle class, so as long as they see someone poorer than them, they are happy to die." There is also the Middle Eastern immigrant group, which is most prone to trouble. Martin said that to find players who are like freaks, the immigrants and Jews from the Middle East are designated. The Jew has always been a traditional and penance. In the film, the Jewish contestant always wears a traditional Jewish hat to perform on stage, but in the following shots, he is very extravagantly surrounded by a group of beauties of different skin colors in a luxury hotel to vote. ···Sally’s agent took the issue of Sally’s parents’ separation as a selling point, but thought that her father’s homosexuality problem was too pioneering and could not be on the stage, reflecting the seemingly tolerant of homosexuality in American society, but the reality is still very difficult.
There are also international issues in the United States. Canada is basically a non-existent country to the United States, so the consultant was shocked when he saw the president reading a Canadian newspaper: "Apart from the Canadians themselves, who else in the world cares about what is happening in Canada!", and of course Eastern Europe The Ukrainian head of state and Yeltsin received by the US President are exactly the same, 囧~~ Brothers from the communist camp are definitely indispensable. This time the banter is directed at the great power of China, so I won’t go into details in order not to be deleted. Yes, watch it for yourself in the movie, the section where the President of the United States meets the Prime Minister of China.
The most confusing thing in the film is how a group of terrorists talk privately in English. Hasn't this fallen to the point where the two Japanese in our harmonious anti-Japanese film also speak Chinese in private? The terrorist's head and face resembled bin Laden. He actually watched American shows and even voted for the talent show on his mobile phone. Except that he was a little embarrassed when he saw the US President come to power on TV, there was no discomfort. In fact, every terrorist in this film is like this. They have always wanted to smash the United States, but they can’t resist the American way of life: Little Toutou is still a big fan of Martin, and everyone is chewing on American fries and enjoying. American jacuzzi and suntan lotion~~~ Comrades, this is Chi Guoguo’s capitalist penetration dig.
Finally, I will talk about the representative characters in the next film. Needless to say, Martin and Sally refer to those who have completely taken over their lives by entertainment and fame. Martin has been cultivated to a level of excellence. Sally still retains a bit of persistence in her own life. Because she had a nightmare weight loss experience in her childhood, she did not allow her agent to force her to lose weight, and she was unwilling to accept idiots in order to win votes. Boyfriend's proposal. But her innocence was soon lost. At the end of the film, she took over Martin's class to host the show, implying that she had gone from a person who was very similar to Martin to a person exactly like him. Sally's hypocritical mother is obviously used to tease the American middle-class values. As for the omnipotent agent, the remarks he said to Sally on how to create a celebrity image are worth listening to. If you understand this set, you will naturally learn and use it to find out why the super girls and fast men are desperate. Promote your own suffering was born.
The president naturally represents the president of the United States. He is the eternal target and spittoon of the Americans. Considering that other films have already spoofed the US president badly enough, and Zhuyu is ahead, this film is not ruthless enough. Finally, there is a speech by Wei Guangzheng, which is really meaningless.
There is a lot of ink on Omar in the film. At the same time that T everyone butt, the director obviously gave more sympathy to Omar, who represents Middle Eastern immigrants. Of course, you can also understand that this is a political need. This kind and honest Middle Eastern child loves to sing so much. Because his mother was killed by a US bomb in Iraq, he voluntarily went to the base to become a terrorist, but because he was so stupid, he could mess up everything. Al Qaeda is like dumping garbage. Dumping him to the United States, originally planned to never contact him. As a result, he accidentally replaced his freak cousin (this supporting role freak is even more fun to the extreme) to participate in the draft, because Martin proposed the "freak draft strategy", he was guarded by Martin, singing his freak all the way The song has reached the finals. There was a chance to shake hands with the President of the United States, so Al-Qaeda found him to give him a bomb, and asked him to shake hands with the President. Omar is in a dilemma: on the one hand, he wants to avenge his mother, on the other hand, the United States has given him everything. Everyone here treats him well, and he doesn't want to hurt any of them. In the final finals, the President of the United States came to power and memorized a pile of high-sounding books under the sign of the campaign adviser. As a result, Omar, the innocent child, was moved. He fell in love with the United States and threw away the bomb. He sang "I did it in my own way" without freaks. After the song was finished, the cruel truth came out. The president who threw away the headset given by the consultant said what he said in his heart: He thinks the Middle East The problem will never be solved. Disappointed, Omar could only say to the president: My fellow citizens hope you are wrong. This is the best part of the film: Middle Easterners who are deceived by the glamorous scenes must calmly face the real dark thoughts in American hearts.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that everyone in the film is a special small group, but there is an insignificant supporting role that is more representative of the American public in a broad sense. It's Sally's idiot boyfriend Serena. Since the child's first close-up shot of KFC, the symbolic meaning is obvious. Like most people in the United States, this kid had a girlfriend in middle school. He didn't have much ambition, and he hoped to be promoted step by step through hard work. The result was first deceived by the US government and the Iraq War, and finally deceived by the entertainment industry. In this case, he still kept a little American Dream, but it was this American Dream that finally killed him. Even the largest group of Americans has been caused by the director to hang such a little daughter-in-law in the end. What are you wronged by the other bulls, ghosts and snakes? Rub your ass and wash and sleep.
