bad, bad...

Disclaimer in advance: This review does not start from the plot, it is just an association related to it. It is recommended to read it later... oh, don't watch it...

First of all, these two are completely two ideological battles: the old-fashioned Britain and the emerging America, the former gentleman but dull, the latter humorous but too hot. This is actually a mockery of Britain and a flattery of the United States, especially in the final plot where the irony is obvious, and at the national level: I now not only have a community of interests, but I also have a romance with your country—in the movie I think these are really bad experiences.

(Maybe the déjà vu of this ideology makes me too allergic?)

Secondly, an interesting friendship film (selling rot) is consumed in this way, which not only makes the competition between the two go down in price and distorts, but also takes advantage of the trend towards the ambiguous heroine on both sides, as well as her supporting role who has no idea but is happy to eat melons. The behavior of rubbing the melon of the double male protagonist is even more high blood pressure. The layered skin is that two big countries are fighting for one interest, and the country related to that interest is still watching the fun, and it is not a big deal. Stakeholders benefit from this).

Furthermore, this kind of plot design really makes me sick. I don't know if the director's closeness to ideology is just a coincidence or an irony:

FDR has no immediate family, and from this aspect, it is the scapegoat of the people who abandoned the people during the British colonial period; Tucker's family problems are internal affairs or EU problems, and he is still putting aside the Brexit but does not want to give up vested interests or small followers; although FDR has a bad relationship with the UK, But there are a number of European countries that are willing to merge with the United States; Tucker's sincerity means that the die-hards (conservatives) are powerful, so they are more willing to apply the so-called gentleman's diplomatic demeanor during the colonial period (we are equal and each has his own needs). Courtesy); FDR emerging means innovation and omnipotence, in the process, not only conspiracy but also conspiracy; Tucker's old-fashioned strategy has lost its good effect in this international situation, so it is also incompatible with the world's The favorable situation was missed, and he could only stick to the one-third of the acre.

In the end, huh, there are so many things I want to complain and scold me, I'm so angry that I forgot, it's too bad, not only this movie makes my heart throb, but also after watching the movie... Irritated, TMD!
