behind the movie

I just saw the title of the movie and thought it was similar to the King's Speech, but there were a lot of surprises at the end. Tom Hanks plays a frustrated businessman who travels to Saudi Arabia to complete a computer business, and his family is as vulnerable as his business. If you don't look carefully, this is an exotic film with a little love and comedy seasoning. But if you think about it carefully, this is a movie about the decline of the American middle class and the current international status of the United States. Tom Hanks, a middle-class American, looks bright but only has a dilapidated car. He flew to the Middle East to discuss business and was constantly resigned by high-level executives. He was unable to conduct normal meetings and negotiations. The subordinates complained about the poor working environment, and they also got sick and everything went wrong. The businessman Alan went to the Danish embassy and the beautiful Danish beauty, and went to Wushan with the Saudi female doctor. A person is trapped in this place where birds don't shit, exhausted physically and mentally, and when he encounters a woman who is understanding and understanding of people's clothes, of course, it is reasonable to enter Wenrou Township, and he doesn't even worry about work. In the end, the holographic projection display was successfully completed, but the business was not negotiated. The local tyrants in the Middle East who made their fortunes in oil are poor in materials. Here, women are prepared to be arrested by the religious police if they have to pack tightly and not drink alcohol. But the life of a high-level figure is that Jiuchi and Roulin do whatever they want, which is ridiculous.
If you think about it carefully, the businessman Allen is also in the United States today. He seems to be beautiful, but he is surpassed in all aspects. Now he is seeking cooperation with other countries, and the Middle East is a good direction. However, the unique religious issues in the Middle East deviate from the consistent image of the world police in the United States. The ambiguous relationship between Allen and the female doctor is very beautiful, but it is difficult to implement. The same is true for the United States and the Middle East. The whole film has been blacking China, the Chinese stole the technology, the Chinese robbed the business, and finally the Chinese saved their lives. The relationship between the United States and China will not exceed this process, which is interesting.

A Hologram for the King quotes

  • Alan: Showtime! Expect the unexpected.

  • [first lines]

    Alan: [mimicking The Talking Heads in his music video TV commercial] You may find yourself living in your garden shack. And you may find yourself not at home in your home. And you may find yourself looking for your large automobile. And you may find yourself without a beautiful house. Without a beautiful wife. And you may ask yourself "Well, how did I get here?"

    Alan: [riding a roller coaster for the chorus] Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.
