One of the representative works of Robert Altman in the new Hollywood of the United States. Anti-authoritarians (Red Lips and Frank), anarchism is the theme of this movie, and scientific spirit and peace are the ideas that this movie wants to promote. The difference between New Hollywood and Hollywood before the 1950s is that the artistic freedom of directors has increased a lot. The 1960s coincided with the change of the American film censorship system to the classification system. During the change, there were many releases from the late 1960s to the 1970s. Movie boss, Ultraman is one of them. One of the reasons I like Ultraman is because he makes good use of the lens to express sarcasm, such as magnifying the lens and multi-faceted close-up. The director is very humorous. When Red Lips and Frank were engaged in an affair, the camera was aimed at the broadcasting speaker, as if the speaker was calling spring. All the shots of the film together express the core idea of anti-war. From the opening song suicide is painless (the lyrics that Altman claimed to be made by his 14-year-old son), just imagine who would want to commit suicide? Especially in Vietnam, a territory that does not belong to the United States, sacrificed many young American soldiers. The film also threatens traditional marriage values with sexual liberation as one of the anti-war propaganda methods.
