You still have an American ideology when you die

I finally finished watching this classic alien disaster action movie. I just watched the 2009 disaster movie "impact" a few days ago. Both films talk about human beings encountering unprecedented dangers, and the Americans led all mankind to overcome the dangers and saved mankind with American heroism.

Although both films are remarkable, the obvious "Independence Day" carries a distinctly strong ideology.

1. In the beginning, the aliens first destroyed NATO and its allies, and finally invaded the United States. Will alien invasions be effectively selected based on ideology?

2. The United States launched a counterattack by allies, including Egypt, Japan, and European countries, but without the support of other countries other than NATO allies. In other words, this human depletion is aimed at the United States and its allies. Is there a more abstract mapping meaning behind the aliens?

3. The president's sensational speech is undoubtedly the final encouragement to the death fighters, including the president himself. However, even so, the ideological advocacy and publicity are still not forgotten in the speech.

4. After the door of the alien mothership was discovered, the president ordered a message to the allies. What about the countries of the allies that are invaded by aliens?

The same disaster film "Destruction" has a major breakthrough in ideology. In the film, the President of the United States also gave a tear-jerking speech at the critical moment of human life, but this speech has brought Russia and China into a coalition camp for salvation. In order to face the common threat, the Americans have broken the country’s grievances, and The world has shared advanced technology together.


Back on Independence Day, I saw that many people were touched by the drunk pilot’s Dong Cunrui-style sacrifice, and were encouraged by the speech of the US President. However, should we be more able to see a little other meaning behind the heroism? ?
