reason? There are many to list - the entertainment industry is usually liberal in terms of moral values, which of course are more likely to become the "hardcore" of the Democratic Party; the entertainment industry relies on acting and popularity to eat, and is less dependent on the White House and Congress; stars It is even more necessary to gain the audience's attention, and it is easier to attract attention to social hot topics such as "anti-war", "anti-hunger", "environmental protection" and "protection of human rights". I don’t know if it is for this reason or not. When it comes to domestic themes in the United States, Hollywood, which is full of liberalism, sometimes seems full of conspiracy theories. Capitalists are evil, politicians are evil, and the government is even more evil. So in many American movies, we have seen such a routine - the world/country is in trouble, innocent people die one after another, who is the enemy? There are many doubts. As the plot progresses step by step, the problem is finally found out that this is a conspiracy of the White House/CIA/multinational corporations. It turns out that the enemies of this country are those high-ranking politicians and businessmen.
The upcoming Iron Man 3 is just such an American blockbuster with such leftist views ambush everywhere. In the movie, the superhero's routine of defeating the villain and saving the world again remains the same. The difference is that Iron Man's new enemy has advanced with the times and has become a "Osama bin Laden"-style terrorist leader-Mandalin. Mandalin's iconic beard, wide robe, Islamic totem behind him and propaganda videos full of terror slogans all insinuate that the biggest enemy of the United States today - Islamic terrorists represented by al-Qaeda, but in the end let him Audiences were stunned that the mandarin, who was full of air on TV, was just a timid actor, and the real enemy in this country was someone else - a strange combination, the combination of On one side is the high-ranking US Vice President, and on the other side is the mad scientist Aldridge Killian. Aldridge Killian has mastered the terrifying ultimate biotechnology, which can not only rehabilitate mutilated human limbs and fill them with combat power, but also turn any attached creature into a mobile bomb. With this technology, Aldridge Killian gathered a group of veterans who were disabled for life due to the war to work for him. The vice president also took a fancy to Aldridge Killian and the technology in his hands, hoping to use this technology to kill his partner and enter the White House to reach the pinnacle of power.
The plot in the movie looks exaggerated or even crazy at first, but when you think about it, it is full of insinuations, which is also in line with the cognition of history and reality of many leftists.
Is it unbelievable that the vice president cooperated with a murderer in order to kill the president? Don't forget that Vice President Johnson is still considered by many to be the prime suspect in the murder of President Kennedy. Soldiers who once defended their homeland can brutally harm the lives of innocent Americans after being discharged from the army. Come on, anti-war movies in the 1970s have long been full of such plots. Is it an exaggeration that the horror tycoon who appears frequently in the media is actually a fake? But Chomsky has long pointed out that in the age of television media, wars can be virtual, and the American media has repeatedly promoted the threat of terrorism to manipulate public opinion more to create consensus. As for the most dangerous terrorists not from abroad, but hiding in the United States, this echoes the Boston bombing that just happened.
All of this makes this American blockbuster of cola and popcorn a little different. In addition to the gorgeous stunts and the American theme of fighting chicken blood, there is a little more color of thinking. Sure, you could think of this as a left-wing Hollywood slapstick on government, war, and terrorism for applause, but this isn't a post-9/11 response to the question of "who is the enemy of the state?" What about reflection?
