Coen brothers' easy and freehand work. The male protagonist is a confident and decisive Hollywood producer. He has troubles all day long. Some actors cannot speak lines, some are secretly kidnapped by communists, and two reporters threaten to do so. The scandal of the big star broke the news, and the female star had an extramarital affair and became pregnant. The family hoped that he would go back for dinner, but he did not have time. The headhunters of the aviation industry used the country's great cause, the energy of the hydrogen bomb, and a lot of money to poach him, and so on.

The male protagonist seems to be determined and resolute, responding quickly one by one, never being soft, but feeling confused in the middle of the night, he can only choose to confide to the priest. The reason is that the resolution of each incident did not follow his preset direction. An actor who can’t speak lines, he asked the director to teach him how to act, but the bad film was saved by a clever editor; the actress who got pregnant outside of marriage found a guy to marry in the process of discussing countermeasures, and gave him a bargain. Dad is the old man; the missing actor was found inadvertently by the clues of the cowboy star’s dating, and he was directly retrieved, and the money box prepared by the male protagonist was accidentally dropped into the sea by the communist actor on his way to the Soviet Union; the male star The gay gossip with the director, the male lead originally prepared a bigger gossip for the reporter, but because the reporter was a communist male star, the reporter did not dare to publish it again.

The movie also contains hints of faith in Hollywood capitalism, traditional religious conservatism, communism, etc. Everyone chooses differently. The big star played by George Clooney was brainwashed by the communist screenwriter group, and was frightened by the continuous slap in the face of the male protagonist. This fool star, in the final passionate lines, only forgot "faith", the director revealed The subject.

The ending actor came to confess again, seeking inner peace from God, and set off again confidently the next day to fight this chaotic world, and the film ended.

The director interspersed a lot of clues, switched back and forth narratives, and a large number of classic Hollywood blockbuster tribute clips, and there was a hidden theme of "faith" buried in it. The amount of information was too large to make the audience dizzy, so you need to watch it more than once or twice. Come to digest it.
