Americans unhappy - critics "Mars Attacks"

this is a 1997 Hollywood comedy produced, as in a recent book, is also full of obscenity, the same emotional venting , is also full of exaggeration, hypocrisy, absurdity, and also full of idiotic remarks. It can be said that Americans are not happy.
This is a story about the Martian invasion of the earth. The plot is similar to the ghosts and monsters that we imagined when we were young, or the invasion of China by the official propaganda of our parents when we were young, or the Americans in Iraq that some people on the Internet now promote. Anyway, it was the Martians who suddenly attacked the earth. They were irrational and inhumane (the Martians really shouldn't be human) and they would kill people, destroy things, and even spare puppies and birds.
The Martian inside is very shrunken, with a height of less than three years, a big head, short hands and short legs, very weak strength, and wearing green clothes. This means that the enemy is cunning (it is easy to have a big brain), but the enemy is actually a paper tiger with a green color and a layer of green paint.

The screenwriter is obviously an angry youth, full of dissatisfaction with American society. He used the film to scold the society all over the world. The president is a dazed old man who always puts his political future first. The president's wife is a little woman who loves vanity. The spokesperson of the White House likes to recruit A prostitute, she is a pervert, an elite in the scientific world, and a fool who has wronged her country, a "terrestrial traitor" in disguise, and then the society is full of drunken money and morals. Still thinking about making money for the Martians, many people lost their direction in life, became alcoholics, etc.
The screenwriter obviously feels that a man needs to be brave and strong, and he hates being soft-hearted the most, and so does a country. Therefore, we must be full of a sense of urgency, and we must use violence to overcome unfamiliar creatures like aliens. (It's just that conventional weapons don't work against Martians, and atomic bombs don't work.)
On the eve of the arrival of Martians, the ever-vigilant secretary of defense advised the president that America could say no.
But at this critical moment, that elite scientist mistaken the country, saying that aliens are advanced civilizations, and civilized people must do civilized things, so they must have come to earth with the purpose of peace.
The president listened to the remarks of "traitors" in the guise of peace, delaying preparations for war.
Defense Minister's wish, to go out Yangtianchangtan, a call for all "unhappy person" voice: "! Liberals, intellectuals, pacifists, are idiots."

Sure enough, no concern for the fate "unhappy "Unexpectedly, the minds of non-I races will be different. The aliens are armed with guns that look like toys, and they will kill them as soon as they arrive on earth. He has also done countless acts of "humiliating the people of the earth", such as changing the portrait of the great man in Yellowstone Park into the head of a Martian, such as blowing up the Taj Mahal to take pictures, such as bowling in front of the giant statue in England, etc. hurt the feelings of the people of the earth.
Due to the hatred of the above-mentioned thieves, the screenwriter vented his dissatisfaction through the hands of the Martian. As a result, the White House was blown up, the scientist elite was dismembered by Martians, the president, all members of Congress, real estate agents, and lawyers were all killed by Martians, and the bones were not left, and the lecherous White House spokesman recruited prostitutes to recruit Martians, In the end, she was killed by the Martian beauty.

The above-mentioned plot must have cheered the hearts of China's "unhappy people", who seem to have quite a few bosom friends in Hollywood. It's just that these American people have scolded the president, the government, and all the powerful figures in society. The only people they respect are the low-level civilians. This is very different from China's "unhappy people". China's "unhappy people" most dare to scold the powerless civilians, and they dare to scold the ninth old ninth who can't do anything to them. They dare not scold those in power. Even intentionally or unintentionally wagging its tail to those in power.
Americans are not happy, but they blame themselves again; some people in China are not happy, they blame all the bad phenomena in Chinese society on foreign forces.
If there is anything that dissatisfies the "unhappy people" in this film, it is the end of it. In the end, what did the earthlings rely on to conquer the Martians? According to the views of those who are unhappy in China, it should be a heroic country, mobilizing all the people to be soldiers, sacrificing the small self to make the big self, rather to break the jade rather than the tile, fight the Martians to the end, and promote the prestige of our country.
But the American answer turned out to be music. Invulnerable and powerful, Martians who can't even be killed by a nuclear bomb can't listen to music, and they will get headshots when they listen to it. Then, all the music played on the whole earth, the Martians snorted as a whole, and the earth people won.
This ending is too instructive, too invigorating the national spirit, too incapable of appealing to the noble group, too...literary, and needs to be improved.

Well, let me make a final note, although Americans are not happy, they clearly let the world know that this is a funny movie with obscenity, and it should not be taken seriously. And China is unhappy, obviously talking nonsense, and saying that he "speaks bluntly for the country and acts for the heavens!"
Damn it!
