The reason why classics are classics is that they are still alive a hundred years later.
This film more than eighty years ago uses a comedic approach to tell the attitude to life and the irony of the American national conditions at that time. Let's discuss the background of the times. In the 1930s, just after the financial crisis, Roosevelt issued a series of policies to help farmers, and the measures Diez took to help farmers in the film were also taken from this. The director's conformity to the times is also a way to cater to market demands.
Unlike Chuncui’s political “hitch ride”, the political factors embodied in this movie are only superficial, it is still about human nature. With many unfavorable evidences, the ending of Diez's personal narration that can be turned on the court is actually a bit absurd, but this kind of romantic feeling is a theme that carries out the entire movie.
The movie is full of romantic absurd comedy, the plot is very ideal, and the characters have not experienced the ups and downs of mood changes. There is no depressive emotion in the whole movie, even if Diez is imprisoned in the hospital, facing the window without saying a word, the director uses the panoramic view to dilute this negative emotion. However, the theme expressed in the film is not completely light-hearted. The film is very ironic. It borrows the current policy situation to explore the way of life.
Rebellious exchanges between people living in cities and rural areas, under different conditions, which kind of life is better.
The movies from eighty years ago are still suitable for us now.
