The background of the new American film "Mank" is Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s. The protagonist Mank is a genius screenwriter. He is funny and cute. He is highly valued by several major studios and powers. He was ostracized by the entire Hollywood because of his drunken rants. Unwilling to be lonely, Manke wrote the script of "The Great Citizen" by himself. The movie used this script as the basic clue and told his past events in Hollywood in flashbacks. This is a black and white film, and I always feel that this kind of film is more difficult to shoot than a color film, and requires more lighting and photography. There are a lot of Hollywood-themed movies, with different eras and different perspectives. Taken together, you can understand and grasp the basic situation of the most interesting industry in the world. Such production and quality, leading the world's trend, and touching the hearts of the world, first of all, we must praise their professionalism, which should be the cornerstone of Hollywood's prosperity. In addition, the money power and political operation behind it cannot be separated. Due to the interaction between Hollywood and its sponsors and politics, of course, there are clear political positions and values. From the anti-Nazi and anti-GS in the movie, to the current anti-racism, giving enough sympathy to homosexuality, etc., we must stand in line. In a highly free and developed commodity society, everything needs to be operated and everything is entertained, even the presidential election, and Hollywood is of course no exception. There are too many people who can write scripts. They come to you to write because you can bring more fun to the circle; everyone keeps playing with you, not because you are cute or because of your patience, but because everyone wants to watch it See how it ends. From a long-term perspective, Hollywood's back waves follow the front waves, never resting, metabolism, and never ending. Westerners usually can’t stand excessive restraint, just like the protagonist of a movie, when the situation is smooth, people can live easily and happily, and they can speak without thinking and do whatever they want, so Hollywood is also a place rich in gossip, which also increases. entertainment of the industry. The main background of "Mank" is Hollywood in the 1930s, Europe was generally turbulent, and various trends of thought and ideology were rising, and Hollywood was in the transition period from silent films to sound films. Others were fighting to get rid of the crisis and clamoring for social revolution. Hollywood people are still singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming. The United States maintained isolationism in the world at that time, and Hollywood entertainers could live a more leisurely life, but they could not break the rules. The male protagonist of the movie is not welcomed by everyone because he has social ideals and wrong political stance, and because he finally tore up all kinds of disguises in the industry and revealed the truth.
