Obviously praising "capitalists"...how come they have become "working people"

Just because there was one in the hot review that started with Internexonel, I think there are still a lot of echoes in the recent film reviews. To say it may be that the lines of this movie are read too quickly, one by one, so that everyone skips a lot of details when watching it.

First of all, it was mentioned that Harry is the boss of the oil company, the company named after him, the whole offshore drilling rig at the beginning of the film was "contracted" by him... not only that, but also fired employees at will; and he had shotguns. The extreme behavior of hunting down employees is a rich man even more terrifying than Zhou Peiping.

Then look at his subordinates. After AJ was expelled for the crime of "producing the boss's daughter", it didn't take long for him to buy a well to be his own boss. Like Harry, he is the owner of the production materials. We don't know how much debt he has. The bank only lends money to him if he has the capital. Next is Oscar, played by Owen Wilson, who also worked for Harry in his early twenties, but he actually owns his own farm...oil + farm, it can be said to be very "Texas". There is also a satyr, a double Ph.D. from MIT, and a professor at Princeton. Then the conversation turned and told the audience: "How can I make more money by digging for oil now!"

After I introduce it for a while, do you still think of Internaxonel? It's not over yet. The old man who found a meteorite in the beginning of the movie, do you think he is still watching the gate of the astronomical observatory after he retired to play his waste heat for the society? Big mistake! ! He built an Obervatory next to his home and set up an astronomical telescope to peer into the starry sky! There are still quite a few old men watching the gate of the U.S. observatory like this. Where in the world can working people be so rich?

"The End of the World" was often replayed on Fox Films before, and a special program similar to "A Good Deal" will be inserted on the side. The Fox host will introduce the production process and anecdotes behind the film. It's a pity that the video discs released by the movie have no other side-by-side content except for the commentary on the soundtrack. As the second money-burning masterpiece after selling copies of "Breathtaking Island", the disaster sci-fi film "The End of the World" (or "Peerless Tribulation") has a background of military investment that is too strong; even more than that. "Pearl Harbor" at the back. First of all, NASA and the Department of Defense and the defense industry such as Lockheed Martin have an inseparable cooperative relationship: a large amount of research and development funds are allocated by the Department of Defense and the Air Force, and NASA will also help launch and carry military satellites, and share new ideas with defense companies. Research and exploration results; for example, Lockheed Martin is both a contractor and a sponsor of the space agency.

Seeing that the old man who discovered the comet bought the observatory after retiring from service in the navy, will the hearts of young viewers in front of the screen pass the urge to call the conscription hotline? Hidden behind the message of "serving the country," "saving the world," and "making future generations a better life," the conscription advertisement is the only thing that attracts people. Of course, it is also a high-end recruitment advertisement. In order to cut the effect of making people "hurry up and pick up the phone", selling the copy completely returned to the state of the advertising director he relied on to become famous, and strived to make every frame of the picture like his explosion point, which produced the ensuing sensory stimulation. Even his favorite sunset helicopter shots did not dare to take too many shots and leave them too long.

PS: The opening scene of the black guy attacking Godzilla's toy is very interesting. Godzilla happened to be the most popular work of the same year, and he sold copies to borrow the wind. Sure enough, Director Mak is not only good at being creative, but also very good at marketing.

    McBay’s films have seen too much of Mom’s pattern.

    In many people's minds, this should be Michael Bay's best commercial movie, and the cast is so powerful that it is terrible. Even a doctoral role that appeared in the entire movie for less than 5 minutes was played by Ivan McGrady.
