In my opinion, this movie reflects colonial history!

This movie seems to me full of interesting and metaphorical scenes. When I saw his girlfriend pregnant, I seemed to see the birth of a new country, that is, the United States. Yes, the last child in the movie process is so weird is "America".

Those who know the history of New Orleans should know that it was a French colony at that time, and Spain and Germany stepped in during the period. At that time, almost all women were prostitutes, and the police played by Cage saved an inexplicable way from the beginning. After the prisoners suffered a backache, they began their bad life. What does this backache mean? I think first of all, it means that they can’t help themselves. Yes, the colonized people endured the pain and started the uprising. Then the bad behavior in the middle was precisely the primitive accumulation and conspiracy of capitalism. In the end, he took advantage of the group of black drug dealers. This is the sad history of black slaves in the colony, and in the end another policeman wanted to kill the black boss. At that time, why did Cage object? It’s like this black boss took part in this case and helped him kill the people who demanded debts. It’s like he read the declaration of freedom to the black boss. You’re free, but you don’t actually have it. That’s another kind of restriction, because The black boss was still thrown into prison.

He loves a prostitute, but this prostitute is not a bad person, and he went to the reformatory to think about what he had done before. If I read correctly, the prisoner in the water that first appeared should be a Spanish. In colonial history, he was an embarrassing master who was taken away by France. In the end, France was sold to American farmers. There were constant conflicts, just like the terrible situation faced by the protagonist in the movie, but in the end they were resolved one by one. Finally, he and the man who gave him the "backache" in the first place sat in the aquarium waiting to be redeemed, and sneered. The absurd history is staged again.

The film was originally New Orleans after the storm, which meant a new beginning, and the final ending also meant a new beginning.

I don’t want to repeat it. If you are interested, you can check the history of New Orleans and then watch this movie. I really have too much to say.

    Violence and prostration alternate, and the abrupt end of the fish tank is charming. If it weren't for this film, I would fucking think that Cage would not be able to act. In this human form, except for Nicolas Cage, I can only look for Fan Zhiyi to act. By the way, praise Herzog, the crime plot is separated by the black atmosphere, such as the crocodile lizard hallucination after the lieutenant taking drugs, accompanied by music, it is amazing.

    The ending was not what I expected. Why is it only reasonable for Cage to die in a hallucination after taking drugs, how can things suddenly change for the better?

  • Terence McDonagh: Deoxyribonucleic acid!

  • Terence McDonagh: Hey, did I ever tell you about the nigger elk?

    Big Fate: Nigger elk?

    Terence McDonagh: Yeah. I was watching TV - the game, right? Renaldo Hayes? He got tossed the ball and he was running with it, he was running running running. He jumped over three linebackers in mid-air. He sprouted antlers! Like a gazelle? Like an elk? He landed again - he ran ran ran - He scored a touch-down!
