The novel of the same name, which was controversial 40 years ago, is now re-published with controversy, albeit with a different focus. It takes a lot of thought to understand this film. Is it about love or politics? In fact, I'm just telling the story of this legendary reporter. When Depp becomes the protagonist, all we can see is Depp's handsome face. If you happen to be not a Depp fan, but you have seen this film, then enjoy the seaside, beautiful women, exotic scenery, and the accidental bridge section where people drive by people will become the biggest entertainment point of this film. As for those conscience and tragedy themes of the real protagonist, they are not the key content of this film.
I don’t know what kind of controversy the novel was subjected to and it has been shelved until now. I don’t know if it is the bridge of the negotiation skills between politicians and the public. It was supposed to collect 5 tax points, but it was announced that 10 tax points would be collected. After all parties dealt with it, finally. Everyone negotiated a concession to 5 points, which seemed to be a win-win situation, but in fact it was exactly the result that politicians hoped. In the 1950s, this was indeed a horrific story. Nowadays, when ordinary people use such skills to bargain with merchants at street stalls, no one will pay attention to these basic negotiation skills. And the most striking love triangle in the film is more commonplace.
