The US national propaganda film has many slots.
1. The background of the story is that a down-and-out Eastern European came to the idealized United States. His country suffered a coup and the situation was unstable. I was forced to stay in the ideal new world, which paved the way for a smooth life in the United States in the future.
2. The original intention of the hero is to come to the United States! Come to America! Get the autograph of a jazz musician. This is his father's last wish. Eastern European people began to yearn for American pop music more than 40 years ago. Isn't this a strong proof of peaceful evolution? And only this ideal about the United States made the male protagonist willingly stay at the airport for nine months. What a powerful inner appeal this is.
3. In the film, each role has its specific meaning. The old airport cleaner attacked the police in the United States, but was left behind by the tolerant American people and got a decent job, demonstrating the tolerance of the United States. The American police sir first arranged the life of the male protagonist and gave him a phone card, meal coupons, and calling machine. Demonstrate the hospitality and atmosphere of the American people. How generous it is to treat people from different ideologies with this attitude. There are many tasks like this. Including the American Sir, who finally made many people cry, disobeyed the order to allow the male protagonist to go to New York.
4. Regarding the life of the male protagonist at the airport in the United States. It can be said that he got the way to survive at the airport without any effort. Including pushing luggage racks, working as a mason, etc. This shows how easily the United States is suitable for human survival. The burgers that have appeared many times in it are also a promotion of American food culture. At the same time, there was a free love between American girls and him. The days blew up.
This is an unobtrusive American national propaganda film, in which values and lifestyles are extremely American. Subtly influence the audience's way of thinking, making the audience yearn for that free continent.
Read a lot of comments, saying that he is inspirational, relaxed and humorous. Acknowledge this. But we must also see the story behind it.
that's all.
