There is no real democracy, and American democracy is also operated by money in the background. As a senior American official said when commenting on the eavesdropping incident in the United States, bad things can be done, but the most important thing is not to let people know about it. This is the real American Democracy. The ending of the movie seems to be hinted by the director. The happy ending in the movie is obtained by the discovery of one's conscience, not the truth and justice. It only exists in the movie. The efforts of ordinary people are not behind the system As long as autocratic countries all over the world learn to give their people superficial human rights and democracy, they can continue their (shameless) rule with peace of mind.
