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.

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!
