After reading it, I feel like a city western movie. From some literary works of that era in the United States, we can vaguely feel the cultural impact brought by the emergence and popularization of television as an entertainment method to people's society. Extreme Space in 1988, Entertainment to Death in 1985, video killed the radio star in 1979 , you can see people's anxiety about the emergence of television and mass media, and more or less people can also see some kind of nostalgia in it. Learn more about the socio-cultural shock of that era in the United States.
In addition, the blind preacher (priest?) preaching on the street reminded me of the scene in Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", like describing make it alive in the book, a magical feeling.

    Dare to think, dare to shoot, look at the billboard, the substance is just a brainwashing cycle of "consume" and "conform" It turns out that there were iwatches in the 1980s, and in those days I liked the femme fatale who couldn't see through the real thoughts

    The theme is very good, the plot is very bad. Maybe this is Carpenter, the movies are shoddy on a daily basis, but there are always surprises on the whole, and I am now beginning to suspect that the upper classes are ugly aliens. The TV show said, "I've had enough of the pornography and violence of the movies. It's disgusting, with filmmakers like George Romero and John Carpenter." Why still pull Romero, other people's movies are more distracting than yours. So far this month, I have only copied one book review for my final assignment, and reward myself by watching a bad movie.
