Unlike syriana, its entry point is more ambitious, more realistic, and more cruel. The themes expressed by syriana are more on the economic level, and on a deeper level, are on the political level. To put it bluntly, democracy and the legal system are all BS. This world is made up of interests. Everything is basically the result of mutual games between interest groups. You can see:
- The anti-monopoly pursued by the white-haired justice is a political game. It’s BS, because black lawyers told him: they gonna to beat you, they will fight tough and dirty. you would never hit them any harder than this. you know it. The bigger scapegoat-
change the country and region that Matt pursues is BS. Because of the old beauty, how could it be possible for you to sell the oil through the iran pipeline to Laozhong and Lao Russia? The bid was the highest, and I worked hard to learn Arabic.
--The reform that the prince pursued was BS. Although he got the support of 9 out of 11 gernals, and despite his great enthusiasm, he wanted to establish a parliament and liberate women, but in the end he found a whole family dead, because he was old. Dad told him: I am tired, because the CLI (committee of liberal iran) is the goal pursued by the us president, because the precision-guided bombs of the United States are too nb, ha ha, he is not successful.
- Cloony serves the country as BS. After so many years of work, it’s a wife and a girl. His son called himself a professional liar. In the end, he was betrayed by the boss just because the boss Fred wanted to show up in front of the female boss. That terry (the boss of cloony) The boss of the boss) is really f*ck. He made up a lie in front of the two bosses of Cloony, completely ruining the future of Cloony, just because the CIA itself cannot be involved in the assassination of the prince.
There are several
brilliant passages and lines in the film: 1) The big boss behind the scenes is the founding partner of the black lawyer's firm--whiting said to the black lawyer: you are a lion everyone think is a sheep, and the latter proves that it is indeed a black lawyer. Enough lion, but a really thick black lion, he sold his boss (the guy who changed six or seven assoicates and didn't fall down).
2) The wise little prince wanted to mock that whiting was the cat's paw of the Saudi prince, and was immediately hit by whiting, mocking that the little prince was the second born son beaten by his family, and the little prince’s self-confidence was broken like a soap bubble , And then was smoothly pinched in the palm of his hand by whiting, and became his money printing machine. Jiang was still old and spicy.
3) Matt damon exposes the American wishful thinking to the prince: don't invest in infrastructure, don't build real economy. so when you finally wake up, they will suck you dry. Good one suck you dry, old beauty really tnnd's cruel
4) At the justice department, Dalton told black lawyers: corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulation..corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scrapes of meat in the street.. Haha, think about your economics teacher who hasn't said to you like friedman and explained the word "corrupt" like this. .
Mr. Lin, there are many more. . .
In short, syriana has taken quite a good picture in terms of its own political themes (except for the individual details, it is not clear enough). In more than two hours, he has brought together the key points in a grand oil economic chain. From The most upstream U.S. government, as well as the CLI and CIA integrated by the U.S. government, to the vested interests of the oil economy: oil-producing connix companies, klin companies, and the Gulf countries; from the executives of oil politics: big boss-whiting, Connix’s boss, Janus, went to their puppets and victims of oil politics: black lawyers, princes and princes, CIA agents, Matt, who engages in oil derivatives trading strategies. If you can understand the relevant background, about oil, about the control and competition of the Persian Gulf by the East and the West, about Islam and Arab culture, you will be very enjoyable.
In addition, since traffic (the director of this film is the screenwriter of traffic), there have been many films with intersecting clues (the originator of this kind of film is David Griffith’s "Party in the same way"), from The traffic a few years ago, the best films crash and syriana in 2005, to the critically acclaimed Babel and Bobby in 2006, I really like this kind of movie. Watching this kind of movie is like solving mystery, in the same smart The director’s dialogue is experiencing a period of history and understanding the truth behind it (in fact, there is no truth, no one knows the real truth). These movies have one thing in common: you can deeply appreciate the insignificance of individuals in the context of history or society. You can only follow the trend and avoid going against the trend (even if it is whiting, it is just an executor of the White House oil politics). . Although this subject is somewhat pessimistic, it is frank.
This type of film also tests the director and the actors. The director needs to have the ability to control the big scene and balance the small details. Although the actors have to work hard to perform, this type of film emphasizes the story, not the acting. The actors cannot be highlighted and enlarged, so It is almost impossible for this type of film to win awards in the actor category (the easiest for an actor to win is a biopic of a famous person, such as Ray). The protagonist in the superficial meaning of this film: black lawyer, matt and cloony's performance can only be quite satisfactory, cloony Being able to get the best supporting actor is already a big compliment (mostly it is a balance of good night and good luck or thinking about his hard work for gaining weight), but it is the supporting role of the so-called supporting roles in those films: ultimate boss-whiting, dalton, klin The bosses of the oil companies are all old actors, and the performances can be described as wonderful.
Finally, I want to emphasize my position: I like syriana more crash and traffic, because its theme is more ambitious and its intention is more profound: love is small, profit is big! (Although I disagree emotionally, but this...)
