In action-adventure movies, female characters are often set up as sexy figures wearing tights and high heels. They even wear high heels when escaping or fighting. Does the director think that this can better display the charm and strength of women? What about confidence?

Nowadays, movies all over the world basically use this routine to express this plot.

This montage technique is also used frequently in car chase scenes.

For example, a few white nuns teach black women how to bathe their children. These nuns seem to have become angels who save the common people. Just like some rich people or celebrities now go to classrooms in underdeveloped areas to teach children a few words, Teaching a song has become a representative of inspiration and conveying positive energy.

Playing the black card in Hollywood movies is a hypocritical and tried-and-tested showmanship, and it is also a fig leaf for the deep-rooted racial discrimination in the United States. The more it is deliberately whitewashed, the more real it becomes.

In addition to making white savior movies, he also made specifically black movies, such as "Song of the South," "Black Panther" and "BlacKkKlansman." Many movies directly mythologize black people and make them saviors to save white people. For example, "The Green Mile" and "Fake God" directly make black people become gods.

For example, in revenge movies, some directors and screenwriters are too lazy to concoct twists and turns and bizarre plots, and directly direct the protagonist's motivation for revenge to the fact that a certain relative of theirs was killed or a pet was killed, such as the meme "You killed my father." .

In disaster horror movies, animals with premonitions will definitely appear. If something dangerous happens, animals are always the first to know, but humans are stupid and unaware of it.
