Nashville

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the independence of the United States, presidential candidates are carefully preparing their campaigns, celebrities are interspersed with them, country singers are taking advantage of the opportunity to become famous, fans are crazy about them, and BBC reporters are watching with cold eyes... Various characters will appear on stage after you sing. At the grand party, the female star was assassinated, which brought the whole movie to its climax. "You can say that I am not free, but I am not worried about it" - in the indifferent singing at the end of the film, the camera quickly passes over the noisy crowd. Behind those dull or distorted faces are empty souls that have been corrupted by mass culture and have lost their independent consciousness. Robert Altman, who is good at handling group dramas, used his excellent scheduling and control to accurately depict the human nature of all living beings in the United States under the shadow of the Vietnam War in the "chattering" dialogue and "chaotic" scenes, and profoundly revealed the spiritual crisis of American society in the universal atmosphere of joy. This film was nominated for Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director, and can be called a representative masterpiece of American movies in the 1970s.
