Hidden the "ugly" American theme movie

A typical American theme film actually has the same meaning as the domestic theme. It shows the romance of war and the hatred of the loss of a loved one. It hides a lot of "ugliness" in human nature, as if these people are born with noble morals and natural dedication. sacrifice. I think this is a general routine for the main melody film, and I think it's a problem if I watch it too much. It may also be nitpicking. If the film can show the choice after weighing the pros and cons, such as why a person can sacrifice for a task, life is the most precious asset for everyone, and it must be a decision made after major considerations. If it can perform It couldn't be better if it came out.

A country must have the foundation of the country, or the same blood, or the same idea, or people who have been oppressed and resisted together. In fact, the founding of the United States is very weak. In order not to give life to the suzerain country, the United Kingdom must be independent. It can be understood as a group of people who seek common ground while reserving differences. After defeating their opponents, how to continue to maintain a unity, brainwashing with patriotism is more appropriate.

I don’t want to talk about more, very routine characters and plots, a heroic old white man, a brutal and inhuman villain, a passionate and idealized son, a romantic battlefield love, and the grief and anger of many relatives leaving. After the protagonist was maimed, he happily counter-killed, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad and angry, the director just played with the emotions of the audience in this way, skillfully.

The actors perform very well, but sometimes they find it weird. For example, when the church recruits passionate speeches, the younger daughter turns from hatred to her father. In fact, the role setting is single and there is no complexity at all. We couldn't see the real society at that time, and we couldn't go back. Even if we could go back, we might not even understand what we said.

The last point is that, on the surface, whites and blacks live together in harmony, but the arrogance of the whites is displayed intentionally or unintentionally. At the end of the film, people help him build a house, and black maids continue to serve their homes. This is not just before the war. What her mother's life is to build a new world, that is, Lao Tzu wants to take the big head. White people may think, how nice I am to you, pay you food and clothing, and let you be free, whether your attitude is good, what else do you want? Maybe in my mind, I think that white people have manors, and it is fair for black people to serve.
