I only finished watching the movie that was released in 2015 in 2021. A lot of things have been recorded in history over the years. I still remember that all kinds of public knowledge were very active when I was in college for 10 years. As a boring science student, I did not pass a few times in history. I can't imagine that it is as beautiful as the United States and has this chaotic time. To be honest, the image of the "lighthouse" has gradually faded in recent years, and the real United States has gradually come into view. There is no need to gnash the teeth to look at this country. All the fierce confrontational emotions have gradually become soft and eventually flowed out.
I once saw a thought-provoking question in Zhihu, to the effect of asking if someone really felt happy when 9/11 happened, was it too immoral? I was really shocked when I just saw this question, because when 9/11 happened I was in elementary school, and the teachers were eager to turn on the TV and let us watch the video of the 9/11 impact. The atmosphere in the classroom was like Chinese New Year, and no one felt it. This is a disaster in human history. This is terrorism. There is only one thought in our hearts, that the United States is deflated. At that time, I saw a puzzled answer, because now many people have forgotten the U.S. dominance over the world at that time. The embassy exploded when it wanted to. The plane flew to the ground of other countries and our pilots died. The sense of oppression is like the "Big Brother" described in the novel. During that time, we are really shrouded in everyone's heart. Although we are still elementary school students, we really feel this kind of depression.
Said to know this movie. The positive energy of the male protagonist is still very American dream, and the female protagonist has also vigorously complained about this, but as a person studying in a foreign land, I can still understand the stubbornness of the male protagonist. As an Italian, the male protagonist is in the stereotype that he is engaged in the mafia, and the compatriots around him are very powerful in bringing the mafia style to the industry. In this case, he wants to do a cleaner business and can only obey all laws extremely rigidly. As for why he is so obsessed with "law-abiding", it may be related to his innate personality or to his acquired encounters. This is not mentioned in the movie, but it just explains that the male protagonist's thoughts in this career are deeply related to the people around him. gap.
The fun part is that the female lead, as the male lead’s wife, has a completely different style and style from the male lead. She holds a gun without a license and makes money from the public account. Things like the male protagonist) and the deceiving the authorities came at their fingertips. In addition, the female protagonist accidentally revealed that most of the male protagonist’s industry is actually related to the female protagonist’s family industry. I always feel that this is the elder generation who used various illegal means to plunder and accumulate a certain amount. After measuring the wealth, find a law-abiding heir to wash away the ill-gotten wealth accumulated by the family on the table. I still admire the heroine's methods and courage very much. The heroine has a saying that is very right. Without her efforts, the American dream of the heroine would definitely be nothing. From this point of view, the male protagonist is more like the heir selected by a large family. The reason for the selection is that the male protagonist is innocent and persistent in helping to launder the family’s black money. In terms of strength, the female protagonist is the real heir. The strength of the master and the fake emperor who instilled chicken soup on the table, the two worked together to guard the real throne.
Although I think the male protagonist has an "American dream", this kind of cognition was the most suitable cognition for development and growth in that era. Simply put, it is in line with the historical trend. After all, the violent wild era will not always be the theme of society. , No matter how chaotic the city will eventually develop civilization rules. Moreover, the male protagonist is not stupid and sweet. After the young man who did not listen to his persuasion and "privately" equipped a gun was crushed by reality and committed suicide, the male protagonist’s first reaction was to block the oil tank, and the young man just cheated him. But suicide is in front of him, this kind of cold blood is also necessary for the male protagonist to get to this step.
