Three and a half. Biographical topics that directly touch on contemporary American politics are easy to be unflattering on both sides. The left may think that you write a conservative and also write sympathy, and most of the right think that you are too harsh on a conservative. The director must have realized this too, so he prepared an Easter egg at the end of the credits! Political opinions aside, the film continues the style of "The Big Short", with well-done techniques and a good sense of humor. In addition, among the four I've watched, the Oscar winner, I chose Bell, whose makeup is so beautiful that my mother doesn't even know it.

If Adam McKay still maintains a certain degree of rationality in "The Big Short", this one is a shameless propaganda completely stripped down. Similar to the previous work, the film uses a lot of documentary techniques, combining virtual and real (also copied the pen Von Trier), portraying Cheney as a puppet master behind the Bush administration, and portraying presidential dictatorship, the Iraq war, environmental issues, ISIS and other shit pots. All buckled on the head (of course, such as the Koch brothers, Justice Scalia and other usual suspects). However, anyone with a basic understanding of U.S. politics and international relations knows the ludicrousness of this argument. The whole film does not mention Vulcan, Xinbao and other forces, and completely ignores the fact that the president from FDR to LBJ has used various means to expand his power. The technique of the film is also a step backward compared to the "big short", and the final destination is actually a stereotypical father-daughter relationship. The only bright spot may be the lively performances.

[while sitting down to eat at Bush's ranch]
George W. Bush: Whaddaya say?... I want you to be my VP. I want you, you're ma vice.
Dick Cheney: Well, George, I, uh... I'm a CEO... of a large company. And I have been Secretary of Defense... and I have been White House Chief of Staff. The Vice Presidency is a mostly symbolic job.
George W. Bush: Uh-huh.
Dick Cheney: However, if we came to a, uh... different... understanding... I can handle the more mundane... jobs. Overseeing bureaucracy... military... energy... and, uh... foreign policy.
[pause]
George W. Bush: [Finishes cleaning chicken grease off his fingers and stares at Cheney for a few seconds, then points at him] That sounds good!
