The embarrassment of a democratic society

1. If

you want to feel the charm of Mark Knopfler, how can you not watch Wag The Dog? It is really rare that Knopfler's music in the movie is really enjoyable! It's like Eric Clapton's RUSH, except that the guitar folk songs here are a bit strong, and the Blue in RUSH is a bit more flavorful, but they are all works of first-class guitar masters.

2. People in a democratic

totalitarian society always attack that democracy in a democratic society is pseudo-democracy, and the so-called election vote is nothing but a "democratic show." People in democratic societies attack the lack of democracy and human rights in totalitarian societies. This is really a dilemma. Returning to the choice itself, no matter which bad "pizza" or "rotten apple" you choose, people in a democratic society have the power to choose first, and secondly they know the possibility of apples being good or bad. What about a totalitarian society?

3. The mass

media is often controlled by certain organizations, especially at critical moments. An excellent campaign team can manipulate voters in such a way, which is really impressive! In 2000, I paid close attention to the presidential elections on the other side. I was deeply impressed by dialogue, debate, campaign platform, smearing, fire fighting, and momentum building. It was a torn society, either blue or green! And here we don’t see the tearing side of society, on the contrary, through the manipulation of certain cases, the cohesion of the entire nation can be greatly improved. This cannot but say that this is a successful political show!

    The president is almost a marketing account... Willie Nelson is super funny, and directing the stars to record patriotic songs is particularly bad! The most ruthless thing is to record the occasional hype songs and make old records, stuff them into the Library of Congress and pretend to accidentally unearth the folk songs of the 1930s. Hoffman’s humorous expression is more fake, but I didn’t think it was funny

    The irony is very sharp, the old shoe stalks make me laugh to death, I should be disgusted with those hypocritical things like yellow ribbons. The style is rather nonsensical. Although it reflects the media game, it only exaggerates the various tricks of Hollywood, and the press is completely idiot-like. The logic is also general. For example, the producer was finally killed for the sake of confidentiality, but in fact, the secret points of the production process are all over the place.
