where is the west

Thanks to the strike of American screenwriters, all the episodes were not updated for three months. In desperation, I had to find a lot of stories that I hadn't seen before to pass the time. That day, I happened to see a British drama called "HUSTLE" at the disc booth. It was said to be produced by the BBC, and I immediately became interested. In this way, "The King of Wisdom" (I think the most appropriate Chinese translation name) is brought home.
To be honest, when I first started watching "HUSTLE", I was really not used to it. Not to mention the British accent that you can't understand all of a sudden (ashamed, ashamed, when I watched the first season, there were a lot of places that I couldn't understand and had to read the subtitles!). The most special thing is that the emotional connection between the characters is so different from the American dramas I watched in the past, so warm, affectionate and righteous! You must know that "HUSTLE" tells a story between a group of liars. In all the plots, in addition to describing how they are both smart and brave, and playing the police as monkeys, it emphasizes the close friendship between them, and there is even danger. At the time, the plot of sacrificing himself for the sake of his companions. What's more, in the plot, they are actually Robin Hood-type "chevaliers", they only obtain wealth through people's greed. In their words, they are a bunch of upright liars.
And how different such emotional orientation and values ​​are from American dramas. In American dramas or in American culture, the emotions between people are rarely highlighted, or even ignored. The only common thing is their family concept: once married and having a family, they must be loyal to their family and spouse, love their children, and do anything to protect their family. And such feelings seem to be based more on social morality than personal subjective feelings. In contrast, the American values ​​expressed in American film series and other mainstream media place more emphasis on what they call patriotism, which seems to be the source of their personal heroism. Of course there is such a tone, can they not look good in the blockbuster film they made to save all mankind?
However, compared with British dramas, such American dramas are much more popular and lively, but no matter how you look at them, they are just a group of rude country robbers who only know how to use knives and guns? Please refer to the face of their current president. And the Britons who live on the other side of the ocean, although they are a bit eloquent, are uncompromisingly educated and decent people. In contrast, stand tall. I can't help but think of what a master said: "Don't think that American culture is Western culture. The United States has only a few hundred history, and Western culture depends on Europe." accumulation. As a Chinese, aside from the hatred of the country and the family (neither of them are good people), it seems that the British culture has more in common with our traditional humanistic culture.
Of course, when we talk about culture and values, it's all over the top. From an entertainment point of view, "HUSTLE" is also a very good-looking film. While admiring the ingeniously designed scams, the audience has greatly enhanced their ability to prevent fraud and theft. It can be said to serve multiple purposes. It is very affordable and very useful, and it is worth everyone's appreciation.
