Why is it a satire? You see the actor's property is mortgaged/sold when he is middle-aged, his wife leaves him, his daughter can't pay for college tuition, he can't control his work, and he can't find passion and happiness in life. Fun, sitting in economy class on the plane to Saudi Arabia, staying in a high-end hotel in Saudi Arabia, while my team works in a big tent with no internet and no food, this series of comparisons reflects the protagonist's inability to grasp his own life, right The helplessness of fate, what is this ironic? What does it say? It shows that the person cannot help himself, and it also satirizes the freedom most advocated by the United States.
The above is the irony of the United States, let’s take a look at the irony of Saudi Arabia: a neurotic man who has studied in the United States for 5 years as a driver of pig’s feet, always has a paranoia of persecution, and it is very important to understand the liberal democracy in the United States. Yearning, it’s no surprise that Saudi Arabia’s joint execution of prisoners, and I encourage Pig’s feet to see that I have a dream of freedom and democracy, but I can only vent this repression on things like fighting wolves, and I have to do it when wolves appear. Praying, missing the best time to fight wolves, this irony is even more deeply rooted.
Saudi irony 2: A female Saudi doctor with a male pig’s feet, a Muslim female doctor with a modern Western education and modern thinking, a superior family, yearning for freedom, but unable to break through the cage, can only relax while swimming in the sea , so as not to be seen by other neighbors. When snorkeling, you don't wear a shirt and pretend to be a man. The part of snorkeling with the male protagonist in the sea is the highlight of this film. The blue water, the beautiful fish swimming around, The warm sunshine and the two topless swimmers look so free and harmonious, but just like diving, this freedom can only appear in the state of diving in the sea, because as soon as the surface is exposed, it will be discovered. Dangerous, short-lived, what a pity.
Irony 3: The male protagonist worked so hard that the project was robbed by a Chinese company. How helpless it is to say "unexpected, reasonable".
Through a short experience of an employee in Saudi Arabia, the film reflects Americans' reflection on life, politics, religion, and economy, as well as the helplessness of people under the pressure of life, politics, religion, and economy and the freedom advocated by the United States The strong contradictions and reflections on values reflect American social problems in a satirical way. This film seems to have a soft narrative, but it actually reflects fierce and cruel things.
