"All the King's Men" faithfully presents the original appearance of the American South in the 1930s, and has relatively accurate grasp of the background of the times and the story materials. The film's framing can present a situation close to historical facts, and the black and white film method adopted by the director has enhanced the realism of the region and the era. The film not only achieves the creation of an overall sense of the times, but is also very delicate in details. For example, when Jack visits Willy’s hometown in the country, the background sounds are accompanied by the cheerful crowing of poultry and livestock, thereby highlighting the realism of the space
.
The film has a single theme, adopts a straightforward realism portrayal method, and highlights the protagonist's changes in different periods by showing the protagonist's language, behavior, and psychological activities. The film relies on an omniscient lens to directly present the image of a hero of the era to the audience. In addition, there is nothing deeper in the story of the film that requires the audience to think deeply. The audience only needs to follow the camera to produce a direct perception, but this perception reaction is mostly within the scope of the screenwriter's preset, because all the stories are basically fully presented in the plot
