The film reveals the current state of the American government, society, and people in a relaxed and entertaining way. American-style irony and ridicule can be seen everywhere, but it is not only satisfied with the superficial appearance of Bo Jun’s smile or the desire to criticize Sanghuai. , It considers the true power of saving the United States from a deeper level. Where does this power come from? The film seems to give the answer. The real power to lead society into order and justice comes from ordinary people. From this perspective, it is like a fable.
Homer represents a typical ordinary citizen class. His character is not perfect. It can be said that there are big flaws. He is selfish, withdrawn, and negligent in managing family relationships, but deep in his heart he retains the simple values of distinguishing good from evil, and retains the truth, good and beautiful. , The centripetal force and driving force for the true feelings of the world, this force transforms him, makes him strong, and finally completes the redemption of self and the salvation of society. At the end of the film, the curtain call was completed in a form of personal heroism, which is still popular, but it can also be seen that the admiration of personal heroism has become a cultural habit and aesthetic sentiment of the American public. As a commercial film, in order to make a box office income, this film must always consider the public's expectations of it and meet the public's demand for it.
The film unearths many ills that exist in American society, such as: the universal fascination and embrace of the fantasy world created by movies or novels (for example, Spiderman, Harry Potter...); the whole society’s disregard for environmental issues , The voice of environmental protection is often sunk in public disregard and hostility like Titanic; government bureaucrats' pursuit of rights is far greater than concern for the interests of the people; government agencies use public security as an excuse to interfere in democracy and infringe on personal privacy; The superhuman rights and irrational fanatic violence hidden in the entire society; the pathological speculative psychology of gambling to get rich, and the prevalence of the speculative industry based on this; the pervasive commercial advertising, surreal exaggeration, etc... You can find and appreciate it carefully from this film.
I think I will watch The Simpsons Movie again. Although it is a simple 2D animation, it is more like a glass of American cocktail. Everyone can taste different tastes. Invite friends to share, ha ha, bottom up! ~~~
