Matte Damon will not say. Every action movie actor seems to be relentlessly trying to erase the 'action star' title from himself: Tom Cruise for Vanilla Sky, Stallone for Police Empire or something. As if action movie stardom was a very lowly profession. It's a bit like quant developers are sharpening their heads to become quants or quant traders. Maybe matte damon has played too many mercenary/CIA assassins, so that few directors who make literary films can like him.
For the Chinese, this is a great work. This is one of the few movies that Westerners made themselves, reflecting on Western foreign policy. Anyone who has dealt with more white people knows that they have a hyprocritic that is unacceptable and even unimaginable to the Orientals. It's like saying, obviously my French is very poor, so bad that the teacher said that I have a North African style, but everyone kept saying to me, fenix, your French is really good. So it's no surprise that you rarely see mainstream actors in reflective films like Syriana. Even for some Vietnam War films, this is the only time Americans have to reflect on themselves, such as deer hunters, full metal jackets, etc. This kind of reflection only stays at the muscle level of the little people.
The crux of the movie is: (minor spoiler) Why didn't the US congressman ask the chief's eldest son 'now, tell me what you really want?', but left the question to the chief's second son?
After World War II, the Marshall Plan gave a lot of money to European countries, including the French. The French took the money, rebuilt the country, developed nuclear weapons, and then in 1968, they launched a mini-revolution and drove the Americans out. go out.
Agents are not random. You have to ensure that the agent has enough executive power to help you deal with the area he is representing. For example, in Southeast Asia, you want to find the Philippines as an agent. He is not even busy with his own home. Is he free to help you?
You also have to make sure that the agent is clear enough, otherwise you hinted that he would engage in a genocide for a long time to avoid future troubles, but he still just gave you a 'persuasion and education. This agent is too weak.
Ultimately, you have to make sure that the agency doesn't grow so big that one day it kicks you out to do it yourself. This is the most important thing. France is a living negative teaching material. The agency is too powerful. Sooner or later, you will be kicked out as your own boss. If the Americans were cruel and cut off a few French girls and sent France directly to the level of Italy, they wouldn't have to worry about the euro and the European Union today.
At that time the American Empire was just beginning to rule the world, and it was too simple, sometimes naive. At any rate, half a century has passed, and Americans have basically never made similar mistakes again. Just look at how many agents the Americans are looking for now. Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, these are all places where the country will be destroyed the next day without the Americans.
I have always tried to convince everyone that the 20th century saw the rise of 'comprador city-states' like Singapore/Hong Kong/Shanghai, and this rise was accompanied by the decline and collapse of Chinese civilization, which is similar to the movie It is a truth that the second son of the chief inherits the throne. If you have ambitions to develop your country, you have to be neurotralized: it can be killed by a cruise missile, or 'because of serious violations of law and discipline...', or resign because of inexplicable financial problems .
The final winner can only be a certain Jerry or Allen in the office building. Just like what we often hear in Shanghai: 'Be a mother, let's make a kei' (translated into Chinese, it is probably: tom, you can do the IBM case)
