Each paragraph was long and Brad Pitt didn't even play until the 23rd minute.
The whole film uses a lot of Bush and Obama's tirade about the US economic crisis. The background of the times should be the period when Obama was elected as the new president after Bush Jr. was about to leave office, when the United States and the whole world fell into the subprime economic crisis.
The impact of the recession was so great that even the prices for the gangster's trouble-shooting killers fell. There are working-class American life scenes everywhere in the film, and Brad Pitt's sentence at the end of the film may be what the director really means: "I'm living in America, and in America, you're on your own. America is not a country, it's just a business. I live in America. In America, you're on your own. America isn't a country, it's just a business."
This is the second time Brad Pitt has been with director Andrew Dominik since The Sharpshooter. cooperated. It's also about gangs and murder, but with more politics in the film, a stark contrast between killers running around for a living and politicians eloquent on TV trying to save the country's economy.
