"Hail Caesar" uses a unique humorous way. The film starts from more than 20 hours experienced by Eddie Mannix, a fictional Capitol Studio in Hollywood in the 1950s, and reproduces the American film industry and society at that time. Many details of life.
Large sections of the film show the shooting scenes of typical films at the time, including the water scenes similar to the "Furong on the Water" performed by Scarlett Johansson, and a large section of the sailor tap dance tribute to Kim Kelly filmed with a long lens. , And even the young western actor in the film used spaghetti to demonstrate how to tie a rope to the typical bridge section of livestock. Of course, there is also the historical production of the life of Jesus, starring George Clooney, who is an important support for the plot of the movie. The details make watching movies become a huge enjoyment for those familiar with Hollywood classic films.
In the film, the photographs of the Bikini Island nuclear test taken by the communist team composed of Hollywood screenwriters and the Locker Martin executives who persuaded the protagonist to change jobs, the various plots naturally integrate the social scenes and major events of the United States in the early 1950s, and are quite nostalgic. the taste of.
However, the core of the film is the seemingly careless cynicism of the Coen brothers. They satirize Hollywood's production system, celebrity scandals, and salary distribution with various absurd "noble circles". By the way, with a plot in which the protagonist invites religious leaders from Judaism, Catholicism, Christianity, and Orthodox to give correct opinions for the plot involving Jesus in the blockbuster film, a very brilliant joking about religion is performed. And in the communist study group to bid farewell to the lurking tap dance star (played by Channing Tatum) and board the Soviet submarine, it teased these leftists in the American film circle in the 1950s who were full of illusions about the system of the Eastern camp. Fan.
This is a film full of rich layers, from simple nostalgia, to the presentation of social thoughts and problems at the time, to philosophical political and religious views, no wonder the Coen brothers claimed that this is not a comedy. In any case, after two hours of happily watching the performances of many celebrities, it can only be said that the meaning is still unfinished. For the golden age of the movie and the many reflections on life behind it.
