In all fairness, this film explores a very heavy problem, but it is not very useful.

This film discussed many questions: how to solve the ills of American society? How can we prevent the weak from drawing their swords at the weaker? Can it only end with the death of the weak? .............None of them have an answer. Sean Connery said there must be an answer, but it still didn't. Why? Because in the United States in reality, these problems are still unresolved. Jin Yuan politics, power and money trading, social injustice, racial conflicts, the gap between the rich and the poor, class curing, gun violence, these are all in the same line. When a society cannot unite with something more positive, it can only find a common enemy. The political exchange of power and money has increased social inequality, resulting in more serious polarization between the rich and the poor and the solidification of social classes. More and more people are trapped in the lower classes of society, unable to extricate themselves, and can only rely on alcohol and drugs to numb themselves to escape from reality, and even more have embarked on the path of criminal revenge against society. A small number of people who were lucky enough to rise to the middle class are also trembling on thin ice, for fear that a financial crisis will bring them back to their original form. In this way, the increasing pressure, the more and more stretched life, the higher and higher crime rate, the strong can pass the pressure on to the weak, and the weak can only indulge in the Hollywood blockbuster superheroes and Russia against China And the hatred of the Muslim world. The United States, which once carried glory and dreams, and created countless heroes and miracles in reality and virtual, is dead...........
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It is true that the United States has declined, but this declining United States is not friendly to the world, especially to China...
