forced out anger

Russell 2022-03-22 09:01:23

Through the protagonist all the way home, it shows the current situation and problems of American society in the 1990s... All of them have been approved... The color and sound are handled very well, and the constant noise and tinnitus surround, reflecting the protagonist's impending outbreak... The only drawback is that Why the protagonist is irritable and irritable, from the beginning to the end, I feel that this is a cynical laid-off worker's revenge for social injustice, but it does not reflect why the character becomes irritable. It feels like the good life is gone... But in fact, the protagonist is just an ordinary common man who is forced to be cranky and cynical by the unfair society... Four stars...
