Make America Great Again

The names of Steve Carell and Greg Daniels alone are enough to constitute a very good reason for comedy fans, not to mention a group of comedy old acquaintances. However, it does not look like the expected product of the perfect combination of office and parks and rec. It is more like a big American baby born after a family of left and right families, wearing a star-spangled baby jumpsuit in a childlike manner. Haha, it looks cute and fun but a little pitiful.

The American drama Heitianchao is a regular operation, nothing special, but it is interesting that the way and content of the American drama Heitianchao have changed over the years. Naturally, this shift is indistinguishable from the extreme left and right who are more and more in their own way, but the moderate right (?) like Greg is a better mirror. Chuan Jianguo's "Tong Yan Wuji" pushed the opposition between the left and right in the United States to the current situation. The moderate rightists are indeed the most distressed group: seeing the unification achievements of the fathers being destroyed, there is no good way to do it. , and disapproves of radicalization, so he can only hide himself in the radical online torrent and wait for Trump to fall. But they're not really so disgusted with Trump, or they're not as disgusted with Trump as they think, because after all Trump is still an American through and through. The same root and the same origin, so when it comes to expressing opinions, you look at a wave of anti-Trump output, but in fact it is not that different from what Trump said, and the mentality is very subtle.

The United States has never been afraid to speculate on foreigners with the greatest malicious intent. This strange xenophobia, which is inconsistent with the immigrant country, has something to do with their own brutal occupation of the Americas and massacres of Indians. After all, it is common sense for people to save others by themselves; Coupled with the strange heroism complex in the United States, only the so-called heroes can only be called heroes if there are powerful villains. But the strong have a common problem, especially the strong people with very shallow cultural roots like the United States. They always feel that they know the situation of the weak, because they seem to have all the power, and the weak are indeed not as strong as them. However, the general trend of the world is not static. The weak once did a lot of rough work. Even if the nutrition is not enough, it may not be impossible for one day to suddenly grow muscles that are visible to the naked eye. Even if the muscles are not strong enough to move mountains, the strong will be worried. His status is unstable, but this conflicts with the long-term "long live" cognition in the past, so there is a subtle mentality that should be roughly analogous to the Westernization Movement. In terms of mentality, Trump is like Empress Dowager Cixi, while the moderate rightists are like the Minister of Foreign Affairs; both sides want to make America great again, but there are obvious differences in methods and methods, and the definitions of "America" ​​and "great" are not the same. , If you still want to seek common ground while reserving differences with people like Chuan Jianguo to do great things together, it is really difficult to do, because it seems that nothing is right.

The charm of art lies in communicating the same joys and sorrows of human beings. Although the starting point and external form are different, they can reach the same spiritual path; office and parks are good examples. But space force obviously does not belong to this kind of art in the current season, but a time-sensitive product with national borders. When we look back in N years, we will say "the original era was like this" without adding a sentence "" That's how humans are." As for the mental state of Americans in this era, as a Chinese, I feel that I understand but are indifferent. After all, the principle of reincarnation and suicide has been passed down for thousands of years. After so many years, especially today when the Sino-US wrestling has entered a new stage, Americans' understanding of China still has not improved much, and with the intensification of internal divisions in the United States, Americans' understanding of the United States has begun to deviate from the normal track in various ways. , From a moderate point of view, it is indeed a bit pitiful to think about. Greg and the others are mocking the self-righteousness of understanding Wang et al., but they themselves neither know the real China nor what is going on in the United States today, but they still have valuable self-knowledge, so they will laugh at themselves. .

However, I read a film review saying that the show was originally just Netflix's work to offset the loss of office, so it can also explain why this show is more scattered and unfocused from another aspect. Objectively speaking, this drama is still quite funny, but the quality of the single episodes is relatively uneven. In terms of my expectations, I still have to deduct one star. I hope that the second season can find something new.
