I saw America in the 1970s

If you want to understand the United States in the 1970s, I recommend watching this movie. Politics, cars, car accidents, assassinations, country songs, star chasing, striptease...all the screens, and apart from these visual impressions, the most distinctive is the auditory "noisy". From the beginning to the end, it can be said that there is no one second of silence. However, there are very few quiet conversation scenes. Some are political propaganda, quarrels, and noise from tweeters. While various scenes are constantly intersecting, various noises also gather together. Only when the singers sing can get a moment. The tranquility. It is also a movie with country music as the theme. The 2008 Oscar Award for Best Actor "Wild Heart" is a completely different style. I prefer the latter. (November 8, 2011, watched at Minamikaikan, Kyoto)

Altman's comment on Country-western music hub - Nashville, filled with politics, just like Hollywood. A calculated and brilliant point-by-point deconstruction of the folk musical and the American myth.

Three and a half. A general understanding of presentation techniques and film themes. But for a duo of country music and American politics, there's too little fun to get out of this movie. It's still so long, 160 minutes, and it's been noisy and rarely quiet. It's like going to a music festival in Tennessee in the 1970s, and the singer on stage got shot.

Opal: You're a business man?
Bud Hamilton: Yeah.
Opal: With that face? You can't be a businessman.
