The unbearable lightness of life

Two o'clock is a line, and a number of points is one side. The director can shoot the movie at least beyond the climax of three o'clock, and the audience can probably forget about themselves.
Watching this movie requires a little patience. Because you always find yourself alive. The attraction is that the scenery is very beautiful, and it is also a good choice to be in it.

In order to obtain the development rights of a township, an international natural gas company with a market value of 9 billion US dollars sent two employees to the town to do promotion and lobbying work. In the face of huge benefits, many residents expressed their support. During an exchange meeting, an older professor protested the immaturity of the technology and the pollution caused by the open meeting, and opinions were divided for a while. During this period, a person from an environmental protection organization heard the news, and his sufficient evidence and sharp remarks instantly made him an opinion leader of the opposition.
The story is also logical. The two employees had to stay for a while for the work that was originally planned to be completed in three or two days. It slowly evolved into a tug-of-war between the pros and cons.

Towards the end, I thought to myself that this movie is suitable for those who want to recommend cultural conservation. Maybe it can also become the spiritual food of nail households. To be honest, the storytelling is not very appealing. But the charming scenery and the plot of the homeland still moved me. The times are advancing vigorously, and those things that have passed, the struggle for survival, whether praised or derogated, or praised or suppressed, has made the city full of storms. There's always something soft that keeps you lingering.

Even so, while I was looking at it, I kept asking, is that all? Until the end, the director still had a hand.
Staff A Jun received a package containing evidence of perjury by the anti-environmental protection organization. Mr. A, who was originally at a disadvantage, immediately became enthusiastic. If what the opposing party does is perjury, its credibility will naturally decline, and its insistence that the extraction of natural gas will cause pollution will greatly reduce its recognition. The confident Mr. A immediately went to tell the beautiful teacher whom he met in the bar. Immediately, he planned to go to Mr. C, an environmental protection organization, to show off his strength. It happened that Mr. C packed up and was about to leave the town. Surprisingly, during the conversation, Mr. C leaked his words. It turns out that he is not an environmental protection organization at all. He is the main force that the International Natural Gas Company really sent to the town to advise and persuade the residents of the town. He designed the entire tug of war. , including the perjury he made, which he personally sent to Mr. A. Even though Mr. A can easily get the support of the residents now, he is just a pawn. Play a role that was designed. Mr. A suddenly realized that the company had never trusted him.

At the end of the movie, unexpectedly, after drinking a glass of original juice, Mr. A came to the stage to tell the whole story. Talking about the extraction of natural gas is really harmful, when it comes to the emotional part, the professor's eyes could hardly hold back the tears.

There was no suspense that he was fired. Telling the truth is not so much the conscience of Mr. A, but I think it is a kind of resistance to the loss of one's own value. From the very beginning, the company was not prepared to give him the lobbying work in this small town. It turned out that there was never a piece of "PROMISE LAND". It turned out that he had been dreaming.
