After watching it, it is reasonable to look at the drama, and there is not much unconventional place, or it can be said that there are many shadows of similar films. If you are idle, let’s summarize what the Americans are afraid of in the movie.
1. High-tech biotechnology. The villain that doesn't appear very positively in the film is the high-tech agricultural company that produces poison. The Yankees are more developed than us, and they got rid of the requirements of food and clothing early, and their requirements for the quality of life are naturally high. As for high-tech chemical products, such advanced and cutting-edge stuff as genetically modified engineering seems to have a natural fear. The latest "I Am Legend" also tells the horror story of a new cancer drug that turns everyone into a zombie. For Yankees, high-tech biotechnology is really scary.
2. A cold-blooded workaholic, preferably a strong woman. It is said that one of the major reasons for Hillary Clinton's unfavorable campaign is her bad image. Why is it bad, she looks like a strong woman. It seems that Yankees really don't like strong women. I guess it's too much pressure on people. After all, they all talk about work-life balance now. So Karen, the senior executive in the law firm, is really suitable as the villain. Especially the madness with which she answered the question "how to balance work and life", which seemed bizarre to her, was really insane.
3. Unscrupulous lawyers. As the saying goes, take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. However, how to eliminate disasters for others is still important. If they are like the lawyers in this film, I am afraid they are no different from the two killers.
4. Addiction. It was vaguely seen that Michael was addicted to gambling and his brother was probably an alcoholic. Otherwise, a family would not be like this. My brother is still in his 40s and has nothing, and the two brothers are strangers.
5. Information security. At the beginning, Michael said a lot of harsh words to Arthur, but Arthur was not angry, but apologized for his behavior, which shows the deep friendship between them. But when Arthur found out that he had been wiretapped, he was so angry that he directly regarded Michael as his enemy. But it's no wonder that Inter Milan casually eavesdropped, and the result was that Juventus was relegated to Milan's penalty points, which shows that the power of eavesdropping is endless.
6. Big companies. It seems that the bigger the company is, the colder the blood is. In the film, Karen's boss Dan doesn't play much, but a greedy and dominant image emerges. And the entire London firm is as greedy and mercenary as their bosses. Think of movies like Robocop, and it seems that Americans' distaste for big companies has a history.
