American movies are not as free as you think

Many years have passed since "Titanic", Leonardo has also gone from being a pure boy to a middle-aged man with a beard and deep scars in his eyebrows in "Blood Diamond"-even though he obviously didn't train his muscles. .

A profitable smuggler, a hapless black fisherman, a justice and thrilling female war reporter, a group of frenzied rebels, a selfish and cold government army, the protagonist is a super big pink diamond.
Based on these elements, an experienced audience can guess what kind of story this is. This kind of film genre is generally not enough to attract me. Fortunately, the story is compact, full of content, and the plot is not procrastinated, although it was rated NC16 in Singapore (youth grade, a movie that cannot be watched by minors under the age of 16). , But there is no excessive pursuit of bloody violence, and no sexual content. It is quite implicit and civilized to explain the hell-like war life of the people of the third world, which can be watched by children.

If the recent "Tangshan Earthquake" is flooded with "China Red", then American movies also have official themes to follow.
1. An American journalist from New York selflessly helped black refugees, telling the truth and exposing government brutality (of course the local government's brutality in Africa, as well as their incompetence), and the professionalism of not being afraid of hardship and death.
2. Although the white smugglers living in Africa have done many things they shouldn't do before, they have established a brotherly relationship with the black fisherman during the difficult treasure hunt. In the end, they sacrificed themselves and became the fearless spirit of the family. . A late-night conversation with a female reporter established a personal Plato relationship and revealed the background of the original "Miao Zhenggenhong" class suffering.
3. New York accepted the family of black fishermen to ensure that they exposed the personal safety issues behind the inside of the world's largest diamond group, which fully demonstrated that the US judicial organ was not only fair, but also powerful and effective. What makes me even more greedy is that the government apparently did not thoroughly investigate the £2 million that was illegally traded in the pink diamond. In this free country, the fisherman family has since led a happy middle-class life.
4. Africa, a hellish region, has Benjamin, a faithful believer of God. Religion makes him a good man, who can't die after being shot. And those rebels who don't believe in God's own beliefs can only become bad guys, and bad guys won't have a good end.

The film finally urged everyone not to buy black market diamonds, but Leonardo also said in the film that after those illegal diamonds enter India, they are mixed with diamonds from regular channels for processing and sale. We ordinary consumers have no way to distinguish whether the original source of a diamond is legal or illegal.
Moreover, the root cause of the war is the political struggle between countries, which is the illegal manipulation of monopoly organizations in order to obtain more resources and benefits, and it is by no means a little vanity that a girl wants to wear a diamond that represents love at a wedding.

The biggest advantage of watching this kind of film is that it will give you a bright and positive spiritual education, and cherish the happy life of socialism; of course, it does not rule out the possibility that it will make you accustomed to what to eat and what to eat, and your brain becomes more and more confused. sex.
