10/10 A miniature American social model, from political elections, entertainment and business and other social surface noises and commotions straight to the multi-dimensional interpretation of history and reality in the hearts of Americans of all ages, metaphors and analyzes the murders of public figures hidden behind The powerlessness, incompetence, despicability, sorrow, and sorrow of idealism against pragmatic conflict in every American's heart. Nevertheless, what runs through the film is the director's consistent humanistic care—a gentle sympathy and humorous satire for all living beings under the established social background. For the United States, the 1970s was a colorful and mixed transition period. There were black civil rights movements, sexual liberation, hippie movements, nuclear war threats, Kennedy assassination, Apollo moon landings, and Vietnam War trauma. Later, it will usher in American dominance. The complete collapse of the post-war financial system and the return of traditional lifestyles and conservative values ​​to the Yuppies era. Ultraman’s classic multi-line narrative is perfectly suitable for the grand and complex social background of architecture, and he really knows how to make a "movie"—the whole film uses music to connect the complex scene relationship with the audience. A bridge of communication, the last 15 minutes of the concert ended with a gunshot and the singing of It Don't Worry Me, which completely involved the audience in the "American-style paintings" of undercurrents, creating a real cinema moment.

    A perfect group portrait, absurd and extremely logical in line with reality. In fact, in retrospect, Altman's attitude towards pop music is obviously critical: the flesh and blood get together; the half-hearted playboy sings extremely soulful songs; the pop singer who is not at all simple sings simple country music; He gained fame for his vulgar performances... But the director's attitude was deeply hidden in the process of watching, and the portrayal was extremely natural. how sly!

    In the age of rock and roll, to shoot old-fashioned music, of course, there is a motive to ridicule the right-wing old and rough group (a garishly dressed female singer asks who is Julie Christie? Comparing the difference in clothes between the two is ironic). But Altman's sarcasm isn't mean and sinister (as well as targeting journalists who appear to be left-wing avant-gardes who are actually vain). The age gap and the cultural gap, of course it is impossible to understand all the stalks, but there is no shortage of fun watching movies.

Nashville quotes

  • Hal Phillip Walker: Does it make sense that the churches should remain untaxed on their vast holdings of land and corporate investments? Does it make sense that a multi-million dollar income should go untaxed year after year? No, all will not be easy. But, we will bask in the satisfaction of having done what we should have done. And if we don't get it done today, we may run out of tomorrows.

  • Opal: Now wait a minute. Don't laugh. I - let me - I have a theory about political assassination. You see, I believe that people like Madame Pearl and all these people here, in this country, who carry guns, are the real assassins. Because, you see, they stimulate other people who, are perhaps innocent, and who eventually are the ones who pull the trigger.
