was released in early 1993. It was filmed in 1992. Its comprehensive social background was:
With the end of the Cold War era, a large part of the orders of US military companies disappeared, and the Western economy reached its peak in 1990. Since the beginning of 1991, it has entered a trough, and its decline is similar to the two recessions in 1974-1975 and 1980-1981.
According to the "Characteristics of the U.S. Economic Recession in 1991 and Prospects for 1992", the article said:
The repeated recessions of the U.S. economy in 1991 were related to cyclical recessions, but to a large extent it was due to the current structural adjustment of the U.S. economy.
The reasons are: 1. If there is no difficulty in structural adjustment, the economy may rebound with the success of the "desert storm" and the surge in consumer confidence;
2. Since the recession, due to structural adjustments, the government has not only taken no fiscal expansion The policy stimulus rebounded, on the contrary, it is going all out to reduce the fiscal deficit and implement some disguised tightening monetary policies;
3. Under the premise of structural adjustment, the role of monetary policy in stimulating the economy is naturally difficult to play. From the general trend, due to the current structural adjustments, the US economy will continue to grow at a low rate for a long period of time.
Therefore, the background of the protagonist in this film determines the status quo that he feels abandoned by the society after he is unemployed, and the old policeman who plays the opposite role is dramatically arranged on the last day of retirement and meets such a "talent with a haggard heart and a tough appearance." "Delaying retirement has become a practical requirement, plus risking their lives to rescue the weakest white mother and daughter under the general economic trend.
As for the weapons that the protagonist can use throughout the entire process, from baseball bats to mixed folding knives to all kinds of old guns in World War II to individual rocket launchers, it appropriately indicates that only with the upgrade of weapons can a certain economic situation continue to advance. , Only when the violence escalates, can we finally get some kind of huge benefits (the protagonist finally said that he can get a large insurance compensation if he is dead, leaving his daughter).
A film with a symbolic meaning greater than a realistic meaning, Michael Douglas and Robert Duval's rival of "The Godfather" 20 years ago, is still very interesting!
Finally, if the protagonist can tolerate a period of time, he will usher in what is called the "New Economic Period: 1990-2000".
In the 1990s, the Japanese bubble collapsed and the Soviet Union collapsed. The United States won the Cold War and won the first Gulf War. The national debt increased by 75%, GDP increased by 69%, and the S&P 500 index increased by more than three times.
From 1994 to 2000, the technological innovation and real output growth of the computer revolution, accompanied by moderate inflation and an unemployment rate of less than 5%, accompanied by the rise of emerging economies, provided a large number of cheap products into the United States to stimulate consumption. Then came the skyrocketing stock market and the Internet boom.
