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)

The reason why this docudrama and musical characters are in such a state can be attributed to the general social crisis in postmodernism in the West. The hidden color of political and economic criticism is hidden in the randomly switched (interrupted) but superb splicing narrative. How to succeed is still the purpose of the film - how to repair domestic democracy in the late Cold War to maintain success, and how to maintain the hegemony of the United States in the world and win the Cold War.

Seemingly disorganized, it is tightly controlled, with multiple layers of scheduling and soundtracks framing the raucous and exhausting scene of life and death in Nashville. The personality of the author of Ultraman is close to the campaign propaganda car that runs through the whole film, wandering around but being mechanically indifferent. Ronee Blakley's on-stage "cuck cluck" provides the only moment of derailment due to illness (immunity spheres to breach civilization??), and she ends up being shot.

Hal Phillip Walker: I'm often confronted with the statement, "I don't want to get mixed up in politics." Or, "I'm tired of politics." Or, "I'm not interested." Almost as often, someone says, "I can't do anything about it anyway." Let me point out two things. Number one: all of us are equally involved with politics whether we know it or not and whether we like it or not. And number two: we can do something about it. When you pay more for an automobile than it cost Columbus to make his first voyage to America, that's politics.

Haven Hamilton: [singing] My mother's people came by ship, And fought at Bunker Hill, My daddy lost a leg in France, I have his medal still, My brother served with Patton, I saw action in Algiers, Oh, we must be doin' somethin' right to last 200 years...
