Roaring Twenties
The movie talks about many things after WWI. The movie tells a lot of thing that people do during that time. Eddie came back from the war he fights for democracy, after war he was survived but no place for him. Everything was changed. Businesses are costly, price of everything higher and taxes increased too. Eddie had to work as a taxi driver instead of work at same garage. Anyway he doing alright with his cab but he was in jail because illegal liquor that he carried by innocent.
After that he became a big business man in illegal liquor business. He ships his liquor to those speakeasies and gains a lot of money by that. The speakeasies were very popular. Because of that it created corruption and many illegal things also. It seems everyone don’t care, even the police money is touching than law. The speakeasies and entertainment were profitable and most people live by those businesses because of its gains a lot of profit and most of people want to be relaxed. It like after war everything renovated every thing gets start again. I think people at that time don’t care much about right or wrong, if money comes there is no right or wrong.
Not only corruption problem but there were violence and murder in this period also. Women smoking or drinking were normal as men did. Everyone can do what they want to do but if you have money people will respect you.
I think speakeasies, illegal liquor and other businesses at that time are like illegal software. Everyone knows about it and most of people use it in daily life, even it illegal but who cares. I think world changing all the time, just what people are up to.
