Three characteristics of the film: the illusion of the plot, the stupidity of the characters, and the ubiquitous black humor. Probably only the two Coen brothers (self-written and self-directed) will invite so many big names and let them collectively act as self-righteous fools. In the words of the film, a league of morons. Clooney is happy all day in online dating, but he never knows that his wife has already acted first. (Clooney has cooperated with Cohen for the third time and played a fool, no wonder that self-deprecating is the "idiot trilogy"); McDormand longs for his partner to have plastic surgery and blackmail. After failing, she wanted to profit by selling state secrets (she was the only actor nominated for the Golden Globe in this film); Malkovich was drunk and cuckold and was fired, violently violent, and then died (he is the director thinks the most joyful person in the film); Pitt has a simple mind and well-developed limbs. He is complacent and clever and died of fate (the media has received rave reviews for his subversive performance). In short, everyone is making their own calculations, and the ending is always different from what they think. As for the CIA leaders who control the fate of these little people? It can only be said to be a bigger idiot.
