It seems that the film is based on the 1974 crime novel "The Cohen Deal". The director of "Death of the Sharpshooter", Andrew Dominic, once again contacted his old partner Brad Pitt to tell a mission between gangsters. If you just look at this film as a crime thriller, you will be blind. Viewers who see America as a flawless paradise are expected to be left with a mixed bag. The two of them sit together for a long time and don't know the so-called broken thoughts. It's a bit of the style of Quentin's early films, but it doesn't reach such a fascinating height. It wasn't until more than 20 minutes later that Pitt showed his true face, which made people feel that he had not seen the wrong movie.
In fact, the director's remake of the novel is just a trick. From the beginning of the background sound of Obama's speech, combined with the depressed street scene, the theme has been pointed out. Murder is false, and complaining is true. Following Bush's speech, grand rhetoric of democracy, confidence, unity, improvement, equality and the like are interspersed in the whole plot. It seems that all the bridges are only matched with various speeches. From Pitt's sentence "America is screwed", "The world sucks, we are just on our own", "In America, you have to rely on yourself", and then to Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, "everyone is equal" "The idea of is passionately complaining, until the last sentence "The United States is not a country, it is just a business, pay me now!" End. The whole thing is a rant about the American political system and its leaders.
I always thought that the American-style "politics of ignorance" was not recognized by the American people. At least they watched their movies, and there were relatively few angry youths. When I saw Pitt's excitement, I finally understood that the American people had finally awakened and were tired of the whole thing. Japan's gentle rhetoric of "being equal", and he has already seen through the president's show. It's just that there is no window to talk to. So many brothers and sisters have died on the front line after many years of fighting. Now there is an economic crisis that has not happened in a hundred years. Even the killer's money has begun to be deducted. Just in time for the rolling news of the Boston bombings and the Texas fertilizer plant explosion in the past few days, it can be seen that everyone is starting to act. It's just that the American police are being forced. I don't know whether this is an external hostile force or an internal contradiction among the people.
