Pay attention to the film’s worries for American society

I just watched the film reviews, and everyone seems to have not paid much attention to the worries of American society reflected in the film:
1. The police are lawless: there are police officers who rob the gangsters, and another group of policemen are extorting them, saying "I am the law", and then The policeman and the chef in the restaurant are probably also discussing something shameful.
2. People are not old: guns are rampant, gangs are rampant, graffiti and mess in slums, prostitutes flying all over the sky, abnormal families.
3. Domestic violence, parents' swear words, children's ears and eyes, it's hard to confuse them when they grow up.
There is also a very careful line in the film. In the car, Joey talks to a Russian child, saying, "You were born in the United States, you are an American, and I am an American." Many people from developing countries are vying to go to the paradise. The United States, on the other hand, is actually such a hell, and this line has a strong irony.
