L: There is a problem with the translation of the name "fair game".
Q: How do you say it?
L: Baidu omnipotent. In addition to fairness, fair means honest, blond, and rhetoric. In addition to games, game means tricks and tricks. All things considered, honest games\tricks, blond (although the heroine is indeed "blonde") games\tricky or fair tactics have no meaning. Fair games do not conform to the plot, only "playful tricks" can be said. Pass.
Q: The film really does not see anything related to "fair game".
L: Yes. In the United States and Iraq, it’s fair to find faults in one setting, and to find faults in a silly manner. The White House and the Wilsons are the most powerful people in power today and the former ambassadors and CIA civilian agents on the other. It’s not fair; from the final outcome Look, it’s not fair. The United States made a mistake in Iraq. Who was responsible? No, the Deputy Secretary of State revealed Valerie Wilson’s identity as an agent. Has he pleaded guilty? No, where is it fair? !
Q: According to you, how should I translate this title?
L: "Nuclear suspicion." (Laugh)
Q: Apart from "Suspicious Cloud" and "General Mobilization", can we think of something else?
L: In fact, the most accurate is "The Trick of Fancy Words". The narrative center (not the focus) of the whole film is the fancy words and tricks of the Bush administration-there is no shocking lie of the Bush administration about the possession of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Without the Bush administration’s insidious trick of criticizing the Wilsons, who are unwilling to gang up with each other, would not have everything that this movie showed.
Q: What is the focus of the film's narrative?
L: The focus of the narrative is Valerie's process from accepting adversity and swallowing her anger to rising out of anger and confronting power. In this sense, the film can be translated into "Dead Knock". (Laughs)
Q: Joe is the one who smashed. He did it with them as soon as he found out that the Bush administration was lying. Valerie had concerns and repeated his complaints, and he also complained about Joe.
L: Because Valerie is not like a hero, she is more valuable if she is willing to smash with the Bush administration in the end. This is a common propaganda technique for the main theme of the United States. Set up a god. In this film, it is Joe. He is born upright. He is the banner. Then set up an ordinary person, such as Valerie, to question the god from the perspective of this ordinary person. His behavior is not “selfish” or “too stupid”, and finally after a series of sentiments and influences, ordinary people agree with God’s values, support God, and finally become God himself. Ordinary people worship a god like Joe more. Only when they see Valerie's changes can they believe that, well, I also have the potential of a god, and I can also sublimate myself into a god.
Q: Since it is a common propaganda technique, does the film seem old-fashioned?
L: No, it's not just not clichéd but also fascinating. First of all, Qiaoshen’s values "Only conscience but justice but truth but not afraid of power", the film instilled in the audience is very successful, it can be described as "moisturizing things silently"-Qiao said, Saddam upholds "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake." The principle of “missing one” is not the case for Bush, who was accused of Internet crimes and deliberately wanted to kill Saddam, and immediately pulled the fig leaf of Bush’s justice envoy and pulled him to the same level as Saddam. The only difference between the two is that the reincarnation country is different. Since the American people are keen to eradicate the rogue government, let’s start with eradicating war madmen like Bush; the Sierra Leone driver that Joshen encountered complained about the rampant corruption in Sierra Leone and the officials wantonly oppressing the masses. The people don’t have a living. This is actually telling the audience that if you don’t stand up against the power, Sierra Leone today will be the America of tomorrow; so, God Bless America again, good fellow, who can disagree with him? , For the sake of today, for the sake of tomorrow, of course, we must learn from Qiao Shen, and be in line with Qiao Shen! Acknowledging this, coupled with Valerie's step-by-step demonstration, anyone can start by themselves and fight against the power.
Q: Step by step? Derogatory and commendatory?
L: Of course it’s commendation. Valerie’s transformation process is very credible: her so-called resistance was only to tell the truth at the beginning, and then only to save the Iraqi scientists. Later, she went through hardships, threats, and admitted herself. I couldn't beat the White House. In order to protect my family and let life go on, I went negative for a while. Finally, under the guidance of my husband and father, he resolutely stood up to expose the government, defended American values, and washed away the stigma of her husband and herself. The Gu family's mother, the determined agent, and the wife who had disagreements with her husband and supported each other, these roles in life can be seen in Valerie, and every decision she makes is in line with the character setting. There is a pity, that is whether Valerie changed his views on waterboarding after becoming a god. She mentioned in the opening of the film that she did not seem to oppose the use of waterboarding, but she didn’t say it again. After all, torture is in the United States. The mainstream propaganda level does not conform to the American value of "only conscience."
Q: With a full score of 10, you scored 8 points. Valerie's flaw caused you to deduct two points?
L: That's not the case, there are more serious problems. An important conclusion of this film is that Bush is not qualified to try Saddam. This is not bad, but whoever is qualified, even if qualified, adopts appropriate "conspiracy", such as cybercrime, fabricating false information, and imposing preventive punishment. Can war, torture the enemy’s captured persons, etc. stand up morally? In the process of waiting for qualified people, in the process of pursuing the moral correctness of all actions, due to time delay, Saddam secretly slaughtered more and more Kurds. What should we do? Etc., etc. This film has only broken, not established, circumventing these problems, so after watching it, my heart can't help but become empty.
Q: Do you have answers to these difficult questions?
L: If you are not in the position and do not seek politics, I think no one in the world who is in power or has been in power wants to understand these issues. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, all political decisions have always been the first consideration of interests. The benefits are obvious-it's simple, practical, and most importantly, no brainer.
