U.S. urbanization is a unique business case in human history. The development of the vast new continent from east to west relies on a group of urban investors full of business acumen and adventurous spirit. They use their business vision to find cities on the American continent where they can make a fortune, leverage funds to enter a virgin land, build hotels, universities, churches, factories, residences, open roads and railways, and work desperately to the point of being cheated, just to attract people. to settle here. Some people are very lucky, bet right, the city miraculously rises, become the actual controller of the city, and accumulate huge wealth. More people lost their bets, went bankrupt, and cities quickly disappeared from the map. The rapid urbanization process in the United States is carried out in this mode of angel wheel and VC. Las Vegas in the Nevada desert is a miracle within a miracle. Relying on legal gambling, pornography, entertainment, hotels, the simplest marriage and divorce procedures, the laxest morality and the most standard services, the barren and extreme Las Vegas has created the best "cheating". "The atmosphere of tourism and entertainment makes American men and women yearn for this desert. "Pride in the World" perfectly reproduces this period of history and reproduces this commercial miracle. There are many classic characters like Ben in the American film history, paranoid, fanatical, neurotic, talented, aura, and extremely strong desire for achievement and possessiveness... Mixed into an extreme personality that is difficult to measure with morality, similar characters have more "Pride in the World" is more classic Lao Pa's "Scarface". This may be a certain characteristic of the American dream. The pros and cons, the pros and cons, the success or failure, the praise and criticism, and the gains and losses are all condensed, purified and sublimated in one aspect.
The relationship between the hero and heroine is frank to the extreme, if there is no scene where the heroine Yu Ye pays back the money. The naked erotic desire opens, hormones are radiating, and the game means of the world's joy are exhausted. The heroine sees through the essence of this relationship at the beginning, and also sees the ending: we all try our best to get what we want in this relationship. But the fight between the two continued for a long time, getting deeper and deeper.
The most shocking candor is acknowledging that people themselves are complex. The male protagonist is hesitant to divorce, and the female protagonist steals money and pays it back. If a person is honest and objective enough with himself, who doesn’t want to get this and doesn’t want to lose that, who doesn’t want to get the benefits of this person or thing, but doesn’t want to bear the consequences the disadvantages or burdens that come with it. And the most terrifying and most common situation of people is nothing more than when people are good people sometimes, and choose to be bad people at other times.
Such pure candor is rare.
