Wind Whisperer: Naked Political Discourse

Armando 2022-01-01 08:02:08

The film is obviously insulting to the title. The wind whisperer should be the protagonist of ben as a matter of course. In the end, the enders, who were the escorts, stole the limelight. There is also a stalwart figure of nicolas cage on the large promotional poster. The real name does not match the real.
The film is full of ideology. Enders sacrificed themselves for ben. Some commentators believe that it is a kind of debt repayment by whites to American Indians. The two Navajos also represent two national attitudes in the film. An inferiority complex but secretly unconvinced, an optimistic and confident approach. Ben's attitude is obviously welcomed by white people, and it is also endorsed by the film's author. In this sense, this film is not suitable for director Wu Yusen. He is not an American after all. He has not deeply experienced the profound contradictions of American race. Therefore, he cannot express ideology in a more ingenious way. It seems too straightforward and too strong. Ideological attempts. In this case, just like when we watch model dramas, the simple way of creating characters in a high-level style is obviously not loved and welcomed by people. No wonder the box office of this film suffered a disastrous defeat, and it is known as Wu Yusen’s Waterloo work~~~

    The most ironic point is that the descendants of Native American Indians who were taken away from their homes, lives and dignity stepped onto the battlefield awe-inspiringly to shed their blood on the enemies of the past, which means that it will probably make the shameful American audience blush, and it is no wonder that The film's genre is poor, isn't this a public punishment and a slap in the face? As for the film itself, it is quite exciting, the war scenes are spectacular and tragic, and the personality of the protagonist played by Cage is not thin, and the superb acting skills are enough to touch the soul.

    Unexpectedly, the director of such a blockbuster is John Woo...
