Billy Bob Thornton is a movie wizard.In the film "Jane Mansfield's Car", he went straight to the theme. The internal contradictions of the Caldwell family and the impact of the war on a family of three generations were directly shown at the beginning of the film. In just five minutes, the director Billy Bob Thornton made a clear explanation of the main characters and the upcoming drama conflict.Moreover, Billy Bob Thornton is like a superb sketch master, and he has vividly depicted more than ten characters in the film.They not only have the epitome of various types of characters in that era, but also have unique and even strange personality characteristics.It is the "strange" points on the characters that have the effect of activating the atmosphere and changing the rhythm[40](Netease Entertainment Review)。
