Realistic portrayal

The first part was continued in many places, and it was reversed at key points. For example, the first step was to solve the smuggling case of cultural relics, so when Lee and Carter were trapped in a container truck and surrounded by Terracotta Warriors , It is natural to guess, is this related to the smuggling of cultural relics? But when the Terracotta Warriors fell to pieces, the cash that came out instantly overturned this conjecture.

Another point is the expansion and deepening of racial issues. On the one hand, Carter went to Hong Kong to go to a paradise massage with Lee. His desire for Asian girls is exactly the reality of many European and American men. Then Carter made a big fuss at Casino. Those remarks made by ”are very unreasonable, but they are very marketable. People around them all agree with those who are politically correct. This is actually very realistic. The European and American countries in the real world are politically correct in this way. It may seem like some Virgins, some hypocrisy, and some difficult. Understand, but I have to admit that political correctness is actually a kind of kindness, and it is also a kind of protection for certain groups and for their sensitive and fragile emotions. This one was written in 2001, and it has been nearly 20 years since now. Many very real problems have not been resolved. There is still discrimination and political correctness. In fact, as Morgan Freeman said, when no one talks about this, discrimination is really eliminated. We don't need any festivals to remind everyone of this. Even if the chaos is set aside, and the politics is correct, whites will not be able to understand the feelings of blacks after all. The so-called empathy is actually only sympathy objectively, and it is impossible and impossible to empathize with it.
