It's hard to see such an "anti-pacifist" conservative farce in Hollywood.

Movies are higher than life, and Hollywood movies should be higher than American political life, not only higher, it has been a strong antagonist of political life since ancient times. The plot is exciting because of the confrontation, and the news is fresh because of the confrontation. "It's a free country." The value of liberalism that the Chinese observe from across the bank is maintained by conservatives, represented by the Republican Party, who emphasize this kind of freedom; and the Chinese left-wing bane, which has become more and more new, is occasionally taken by American liberals. Yearning. Who makes one called the East and the other called the West?

Since this government that emphasizes freedom is always declaring war to the outside world and is always alert to the red tide, then Hollywood works of course have to be applauded in a strong response to it. Anti-war movies, from the Korean War and the Vietnam War to the Iraq War, have always been the magic weapon for famous Hollywood guides. "An Ode to America" ​​has no title and self-deprecating, choosing to stand on the side of conservatism and on the opposite side of Obama, and let out a bitter laugh from the Hollywood minority, satirizing the mentally retarded and sarcasm of the anti-war students who shouted slogans for the brainless. Critics of the Middle East policy are crying crocodile, and even spoof Michael Moore, a documentary director who always stands on the opposite side of American policy, as a stupid fat man who treasons the country because he sees the soldiers take his girlfriend away. Following the satirical tone, Washington’s belief in the founding of a nation, Lincoln’s civil war to save slaves, and Patton’s bravery were praised extensively, and even the movie made JF Kennedy look like Zhen from the "ask what you can do for your country" speech. Climb out like a child, denying Oliver Stone's thesis about his anti-Vietnam War (the movie "Assassination of Kennedy"). At the same time, it satirizes those Hollywood counterparts who flocked to chase and reflect on the war, such as De Palma ("Excerpted Revision"), Winterbottom ("Road to Guantanamo"), Pakula ("Presidential Team") Wait. Entertaining the base and the Taliban is of course an unmissable part of this movie. Terrorists eulogize American movies and play games with anti-war demonstrations. The director even made up a group of "Christian extremists" and roared "I The old nun who was a 72-year-old virgin rushed to the bus to commit suicide and exploded.

Regardless of the mainstream value of Hollywood or our ideological common sense, this comedy is undoubtedly evil. But it is funny enough. In a society where speech is fully expressed, this kind of laughter will never lead to a social turn or a humanitarian disaster. People who choose an anti-war stance can laugh unconsciously and then scold: "This group of shameless evil Hybrid."
