"Three Kings" 8.0
①
In fact, the roots of this country in the United States are half in religion and half in country music.
Although it is now popular in the city, Swift has transformed from a village girl to an international queen, but I still feel that many, many years later, after an American beat aliens on a colony star on the fourth cantilever of the Milky Way, he still sang. "You Are My Sunshine" instead of "shake it off".
"You Are My Sunshine" is the real American national anthem.

Teenagers go wandering, middle-aged people want to dig in, and old-aged monks.
This film is about the modern history of the United States, the United States in boyhood. He has gradually grown into the physique of an adult, but in his bones he has the innocent and eagerness of a young man.
"Once Upon a Time in America" is a groggy epic, and "Three Kings" is a country ballad hummed at will. It's all history, two sides of the coin.

In the shell of "Odyssey", George Clooney and Odysseus, both of them are called "Ulysses".
Speaking of which, my enlightenment reading is a phonetic picture book that probably contains Roman mythology and Greek mythology. After it was rotten, I put it into the wooden box under the bed. The words "put things" were written on the box. Later, I found out that the three words were typos. After many years, I looked through the wooden box under the bed, and the typos were still there. , but the box is already full of textbooks and review materials.
The outline of "The Odyssey" is that after offering a Trojan horse to slaughter the city, Odysseus led a group of horses to return home.
So this time, the unlicensed lawyer planned a shocking escape, but it was just to rush back to win back his wife's heart.
A group of people encountered a bank thief Babyface. This guy was racing and throwing money while using a Chicago typewriter to sweep the ground and chase soldiers. He hated people calling him Babyface first and second hated cows. When he was fleeing, he saw cows on the roadside. Killed by the way. He was later arrested for trying to kill a cow, and was excited to be taken to the electric chair. Odysseus and the others also suffered because they killed Apollo's cattle by mistake.
When the three men were hungry and thirsty, they met Huansha girl by the stream. They were fascinated by the close-fitting wet clothes and the graceful singing. When they woke up, they saw that their companions had been turned into frogs (here -1s). Odysseus and the others were once charmed by the song of the siren, and his horse was cursed by the daughter of the sun god and turned into a pig.
Later, they ran into Big Dan, who was selling the Bible, and were beaten up by the big, nonsense man who was blind in one eye. This is the famous one-eyed giant in that myth.
By the way, at the beginning of the movie, a group of three people meet a blind black old man, and the old man said something that made people feel incomprehensible. This is to remind the whole film. Homer was also blind. According to the Americans at that time, he was a blind folk singer. It seems that Americans not only like to let black people cos God, but also like to let black people cos Homer.

The old black man said, "...you're going to finally see something incredible, you're going to see a cow on the roof."
At the end, the prison guards who chased them all the way told them to kneel under the gallows to repent. Ulysses knew that his fate would be soon, and knelt down and said a lot of sorrow. He started accumulating water and building a lake as he lied. Although embarrassed, the three who recovered their lives lay on the coffin board. Ulysses looked around, pondered for a while, and said, "All feudal superstitions will be swept away, and we will finally see a brand new world."
Then in a blink of an eye, he saw a cow sheltering from the flood standing helplessly on the roof.
excellent.

They were driving when they met a black youth with a guitar at the intersection, who said he had just made a deal with the devil and traded his life for superhuman musical talent. The prototype of this character is Robert Johnson, a figure at the level of the father of modern American music. It is said that it took only 4 months to upgrade from a small bandmate who can only play the harmonica to a full-scale number, and became a Rolling Stone Records selection in human history. 5th ranked guitar player. Then at the age of twenty-seven, he died bizarrely.

The United States is really a wonderful country. While they have come to the forefront of human development, they have believed the most delusional dross in human history. They are the ones who control the most powerful violent machine financial behemoth in history. They think the moon landing is a conspiracy theory. They also believe in the curse of mummies, telepathy, and God Satan. Cancer can be cured naturally, the theory of evolution is nonsense, and they have a high religious belief rate all over the world. By the way, they are also cults everywhere.
The above example is not a small group of people in the United States looking at it with a magnifying glass, but a quarter of a third.
So the country was caught in a split between reality and fantasy from the very beginning. This is the legacy of the fugitive rogue Puritans who stood at the beginning of the country.
Now when we look at the United States, we feel that he seems to have a mid-life crisis, and it seems that he has reached the age of drinking and drinking to drink, smoking, coughing, kidney deficiency and growing gray hair, but the things in this country that are very young are still flourishing. Probably another manifestation of the split.
From the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, although Keynes's system has been used erratically, the effect is sometimes ineffective, but the United States is indeed moving towards a big government little by little. That's how bad capitalism degenerates. Correspondingly, since the reform and opening up, China has been trying to decentralize power from the paternalistic super government. Agnosticism and agnosticism, we cannot afford to interfere with the establishment or criticism. At least considering the national temperament of China and the United States, the choices of each one seem to be somewhat reasonable.
