It can be viewed side by side with the Chicago Seven Gentlemen Trial

If "Chicago Seven Gentlemen Trial" is a Democratic propaganda film, then this "American Sniper" is a textbook-like Republican propaganda film.

The protagonist was born in a large rural area in California. After having a veritable "red neck" experience in his early years, he joined the army and became a Navy SEAL to defend the country.

It can be said that this kind of cow boy, a member of the militia, and a staunch supporter of guns is the iron vote warehouse of the Republican Party. And they are also the most incompatible with the "mother cannon" hippies in chicago 7, the objectors.

The two films praised two types of people with completely different behavioral trajectories and political positions. It is very interesting in comparison. In chicago7, it was talking about the Vietnam War. A group of hippies refused to perform military service and ran to the Democratic Party Congress to protest. This is an incredible act of cowardice in the eyes of the war veterans who shed blood for the country in the movie "Sniper".

But the hippies also have their own logic, through the Cultural Revolution, end wars and embrace peace. They are also fighting for rights for some people through various cultural campaigns and the lawful compulsory comparison.

The United States is indeed very interesting. All kinds of people are intertwined to form a two-party system with completely different political stances, and a delicate balance has been achieved through votes. Vote to the left in an age when love and peace are needed, and to the right when you need to act vigorously.

I personally like idealistic hippies, but I admire the unparalleled vitality of those "red necks".

Very strange, but the world is changing so fast, I really want to see how it will play again in the future.
