For a comedy, serious topics will never be a burden, on the contrary, it can show the director's ability to control the plot. The lively plot rhythm and wonderful dialogues do not give people the feeling of procrastination at all. Therefore, it can be said that this is the most enjoyable movie viewing experience in several months (the wonderful dialogues will not be listed in detail, just watch it yourself.) .
Smoking has always been a very strange social phenomenon. On the one hand, the government clearly states on various cigarette packs that smoking is harmful to health. No matter how many public service advertisements there are, and no matter how widespread public opinion is, it is difficult to stop the loyal yearning of smokers. As a result, Nick Naylor, the protagonist of the film, has always become the "darling" of public opinion and the focus of the storm. It's no wonder that the sexy Washington questionnaire beauty (seems to be the type I like, -P), can personally send herself to Nick's bed, so in exchange for the precious insider... It seems that in modern society, the female body has already become a For cheap ambiguous items, and often great value for money. Of course, I personally feel that for this reporter, being with such a witty tobacco spokesperson is simply a three-fold harvest of physical, psychological and career, but it is rather ruthless.
Nick's eloquent tongue is the biggest highlight. Especially when I was discussing with my son "Why the U.S. Government is the Best Government in the World", I was full of witty words, and thus directly won my son's incomparable admiration... (Gossip, this little boy seems to be the last time with Nick. · Kidman is the one who has a scandal in the movie, and he is really lucky at such a young age). Of course, the question of "the US government" is definitely a classic one. When I saw this, I paused for 5 minutes and pondered it for a long time... Talking about the US government in a film that itself designs social and moral issues , does require a lot of effort in the script. Tobacco, as a social problem, cannot be banned as soon as it is said to be banned, and the various bans that the government has repeatedly introduced are no different to the tobacco industry, and it is difficult to really solve the problem.
In addition, in terms of the development of an industry, as long as any industry can continue to generate profits, it will stubbornly exist in any way, and its courage to overcome difficulties is always admirable (do not believe? Just look at the drug industry...). Tobacco, as a high-tax special licensing industry, will be forcibly cut off for a while, and I think it will undoubtedly bring greater social problems. First, for the government, the loss of huge tax revenue is a huge problem; secondly, the large number of unemployed people in the tobacco industry in the short term can also be a headache for the government; lastly, it seems the most insignificant but it is The most critical issue: the intertwined political resources and social relations of the tobacco giants can always make the various efforts made by the government in the early stage come to nothing.
Of course, Nick has been emphasizing that no one is denying that tobacco is good for people. However, it is up to you whether you sell tobacco or not, and whether you smoke it or not. This may be true, it is always said that alcohol is not intoxicating and one is self-intoxicating. It is better to persevere in social norms and self-discipline than to take the industry aggressively. On the other hand, this also involves personal "judgment and choice". For any skill to make a living, whether it is killing people to make money, or engaging in a legitimate industry, many times (of course not all), we can always see individuals making choices that are incomprehensible to others because of all kinds of helplessness. Here, in fact, we have no way of More individual judgments are made on individual behaviors from the perspective of right and wrong. Social problems always need to be solved systematically. For some individuals to shoulder such a large responsibility, the burden is obviously too heavy, and the excuses are too pale. This is like in the later period of the Anshi Rebellion, people killed Yang Guifei to vent their anger and put the blame on a certain woman. There is no doubt that the government has avoided too many practical problems in society.
This one-sided, you can also see a lot from the hypocritical senator in the movie. In order to increase his influence and cast votes for himself, this guy chose the most gimmicky tobacco to make a fuss, but, look at his office, there are so many advertisements for famous wine and unhealthy food, it turns out, who sponsors him, he who can support. It seems that the tobacco company did not sponsor him at the time, which was the real PR misstep.
And finally on the topic of movies within movies. In a six-dimensional space constructed by two men in a Hollywood office in California, we may never see the nude Brad Pitt and Zeta Jones smoking, but, to be fair, in past movies In the movie, the scenes of many movie stars smoking still bring us a lot of good memories... Let's take a look at how the movie describes this scene of the concept, the language seems to be beautiful: Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta Jones, they had just finished their first time, reveling in each other's bodies, they lay naked, suspended in the air under the sky, Pete lit a cigarette, and he started blowing smoke rings around, Katherine's naked, flawless body , watching the galaxies fly by from the hemispherical glass ceiling...
