Thank you for being different

It's been a long time since I saw such a humorous and interesting movie with surprises everywhere. Serious topics such as morality, politics, interests, and education are presented in the form of comedy, which is really Reitman's unique style. It is very similar to the later Juno, and it is completely impossible to see that it is his screen debut.
The movie begins with various gorgeously packaged cigarettes, accompanied by standard American narration, which is very enjoyable to watch.
If the government and the public put him on the opposite side of morality, he cleverly raised himself to the height of philosophy from the perspective of independent thinking and judgment.
Indeed, if a person can't think and question, how is it different from a rock?
Recently, in building a smoke-free Beijing, smoking cessation is being promoted everywhere, and tobacco taxes have also been raised, but so many smokers, can they live and quit? For the sake of the city's image, people who do not smoke can understand that smoking cessation is prohibited. The government can promote smoking cessation, but it cannot deprive an adult smoker of the right and freedom of choice. However, everyone will also be responsible for repaying their debts for their own choices. It is precisely because of the diversity of society that progress is possible. When everyone is the same, it is impossible to imagine.
At the end of the film, Nick said that there is a thing called education, and it does not come from cigarette packs, but from our parents.
We should not be told a result, or be shown a clear path, judgment should be based on our own thinking. Most mainstream media likes to promote processed information with their own thoughts instead of restoring the truth. We are also taught from childhood. How is this different from feeding people chewed meat?
Smoke is just a representative, a symbol of being different or daring to be different. Encourage opposition to questioning and reject the convergence of flies to shit.
I must admit that I was brainwashed to a certain extent by the American values ​​conveyed by the film, but this is also one of the successes of the film.
Finally, let me express my admiration for Alan, or the character he's created as a madman! ! ! So handsome, he has a kind of charm, even if he talks nonsense and runs the train, I feel that what he said is good to you. You are willing to listen and believe. It has nothing to do with the content of the speech, but the way he talks, which makes people not move The brain just thinks that he is arrogant. Reitman really picks people!
Plus: Smoking kills & Smokers die younger

  • Nick Naylor: [Narrating] Bobby Jay works for S.A.F.E.T.Y., the Society for the Advancement of Firearms and Effective Training for Youth. After watching the footage of the Kent State shootings, Bobby Jay, then seventeen, signed up for the National Guard so that he too could shoot college students. But, the National Guard recruiter was out to lunch, so Bobby Jay ended up shooting Panamanians instead. Which is almost as fun as shooting college students, only they shoot back.
