American Theme Movies

China has a theme, and the United States is no exception. This film is a typical theme film, but the melody between the two is different. China is a harmonious society, and the United States is freedom.
The foundation of freedom in the United States lies in its 10 constitutional amendments, also known as the Bill of Rights. The most important of which is the First Amendment stated in court by Jim Carrey-"Congress shall not enact laws concerning the following matters", referred to as "No The main content of the "legislation" clause is to protect freedom of speech.
We are very familiar with freedom of speech. Although the Constitution also grants us the same rights, this freedom of speech is very different from the freedom of speech in the United States. The main difference is that the state must not use any excuse to deprive this right of legislation, no matter how absurd and destructive such remarks are. The example of our country is not convenient to cite. Let's just talk about the background of this film.
The 1950s was an era of vigorous development of communism, and the United States was no exception. There were such signs in many fields. At that time, the United States, both the government and the people, hated communism, and it is well known that communism is very harmful. Therefore, in this context, McCarthyism was born, and a large-scale investigation of communism was carried out. , There have been many violations of human rights. If transplanted to our country, it is estimated that many people will support the banning of such harmful speech, because stability and unity are needed. However, what is shown in this film is that freedom of speech has nothing to do with truth. What we need to maintain is that people only have the right to express. We can see that there is still a very, very long way to go on the road to freedom in our country.

    To regain the hope of the whole town, he is no longer he in a place, but he is still in b. This is actually a harmonious version of "The Truman World", but even though Jim Carrey also starred, there is no madness and no melancholy here. Now watching the most serious Jim Carrey in the film, I suddenly feel the essence of his performance. Darabont & Deakins, the golden partners of Hollywood in the 90s.

    Darabont prefers an orderly narrative, but if there is no strong script like Shawshank and Green Mile, and lacking enough eye-catching small details, the rhythm can easily become a problem. The climax passages are not outstanding either. The main theme of the American hero, American spirit, courtroom voices, cheers and other common bridges are too self-indulgent and have a strong preaching meaning. The story itself is separated from this theme. Jim Carrey is pretty much the norm here.
