"I Love Huckabee" is the fourth work written and directed by the screenwriter and director David Russell. Like a slogan, this comedy film tells what it wants to tell. This is a complicated question about the discussion of life, and its core is with existential philosophical implications. Although it may seem obscure, but if you take a closer look, it seems that you can still find easy-to-understand clues.
In reality, Huckabee in the film is really a very famous super chain department store. The 53rd branch of this established store was established in 1964 last year, which allowed its sales network to span the entire country. While selling, this store also pays attention to social welfare undertakings such as community building, family relations, children's education, and environmental protection. Every year, Huckabee spends more than 40 million U.S. dollars on charity, cooperates with various associations to set up charity funds, and organizes effective recycling of 700 tons of waste paper, and planted more than 14,000 in wildfires and naturally lost woodlands. Saplings, these are part of Huckabee’s environmental protection theme activities in 2004.
The characters include Albert, Brad, Tommy, etc., and these three people also surround an environmental protection organization called the Air and Ground Alliance, and Tommy, as a firefighter, thinks that it is a philosophy. A wise man, and the most prominent point of view should be the over-exploitation of energy in developed countries and the harm to poor countries. This view is clearly expressed in the debate between him and Albert at the home where he adopted Sudanese refugees. Originally, the adoptive family thought that they had done a good deed, but Tommy thought that the culprit of poverty and turmoil in those countries was the Western countries headed by the United States.
Even though the idea is so far, I contacted director David Russell’s "Three Kings for Gold", plus an understanding of existentialism, (the Latin existentia of the word existentialism means existence, existence, and existence . Existential philosophy discusses not abstract consciousness, concepts, and essence of traditional philosophy, but focuses on existence and life. But it does not refer to the actual existence of human beings, but the existence of spirit. Often low-consciousness, such as anxiety, despair, fear, etc., the morbid psychological consciousness opposes social existence and personal reality, and regards it as the only real existence.) Suddenly there is such a concept in my mind, this film Under the concealment of existentialism, it expresses the conflict of ideas and complex emotions of the American people in the context of the September 11 incident, the capture of Iraq, and the global counter-terrorism.
And if according to this kind of thinking, the weird behaviors of the Jeffersons under the cover of solving the psychological crisis of life, and those misty and chaotically interconnected therapeutic views, there is a good explanation. In fact, this should be It was after the insinuation of 9/11 that the Bush administration, under the banner of anti-terrorism, violated civil rights. Of course, just as the three people in the film were willing to seek help from the Jeffersons, in reality, the 9/11 incident was taken as an example. The signal, the next series of government actions, may also be considered logical, or the only choice for the people under the circumstances at the time. But just like Tommy’s paranoia and marital problems in the film, Brad’s sense of crisis and Albert’s confusion and helplessness also correspond to reality, especially like Brad’s habitual jokes and lying, Bush The government has many doubts about the reasons and evidence for launching the Iraq War. Combined with the pervasiveness of the Jeffers and his wife, they jumped into the car, entered the private house, even monitored and turned over the trash can, and the Americans were completely lost in their lives. The sense of security is also reflected in the fragility of Brad and Dawn's love.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Catherine, this French woman, her symbolism should also be obvious. With this kind of thinking, her friendship with Albert and the mud-like cloud and rain seems to be easier to understand and accept, showing a French-style looseness and passion, to make love, not to fight. And her appearance has led to the alienation and divergence between Albert and Tommy, and it also represents the opposition of ideas between the people.
Of course, the metaphors in the film should be comprehensive, and especially for the symbolic meaning of confrontation and fusion between the three men. In my current environment, it is impossible to find enough news and information reflecting social trends. Correspondingly, and the Bush administration’s policy on the violation of national rights, I believe that since the anti-terrorism system has a direct role in improving China’s position in East Asia, there is not much mention in the country. The French’s role in this war The position and the profound meaning behind it, due to the whitewashing of diplomatic rhetoric and the filtering of the news system, I really have no way of knowing. However, even if it is impossible to give a complete explanation with conclusive evidence due to various subjective and objective (ground snakes) reasons, I believe that the above analysis can still be regarded as a better perspective for understanding the film.
