- after watching "The Promised Land"
In my impression, Matt Damon is an actor who chooses more films, and he is also a frequent candidate for theme films in Hollywood. His new film "Promised Land" ([US] Promised Land, 2012, director: Gus Van Sant, screenwriter: Matt Damon / John Krasinski / Dave Eggers; starring : Matt Damon / John Krasinski / Rosemary DeWitt / etc.) chose a theme with strong social significance, trying to explain that under the impact of capital's pervasiveness on traditional life, the United States The dilemma faced by farmers in ordinary small towns: should they choose to sell their land for a greater life change, or to protect the original ecological environment but continue to be economically embarrassed? Although it has not reached the level of "survival or destruction, is this a question?", the sharpness of the theme is also relatively rare in commercial films that are popular for fun.
I don't care much about the whole process in the film. As for the more idealistic ending, I can only respond with a well-meaning understanding. On the contrary, it is worth pondering how Steve, a sales representative of a natural gas company played by Matt Damon, persuades farmers to rent out their land.
Entering a farmer's house with children, steve does not immediately propose a willingness to rent land, but starts with the education of the children, showing the farmer a blueprint with an education guarantee fund, so that the farmer can see that his child has a good life with his parents through education. Opportunities for different life, such a commitment and a specific estimate of the rent amount, even if it is a cake, it is enough to make the farmers who are parents feel excited on the spot. It is said that children are the hearts and minds of parents, and taking children as the starting point is sometimes the best angle in negotiation.
Another: I also felt the earthquake in Wuhan in the morning. When I didn't know about the earthquake in Ya'an, I was shocked to hear it online. I prayed for the compatriots who were affected by the disaster! ! !
