Vice evaluation action

Part of the plot of "Vice President" may not resonate with audiences all over the world. After all, this is a work dominated by the United States, and the content that director Adam McKay wants to express through the film has its own particularities. However, even if the audience is not familiar with or interested in the political situation in the United States, the film can be a good topic opener. All actors are very powerful, not to mention Bell, too good-he is the perfect representative of this challenging, ambitious and thought-provoking film. "Vice President" shows the audience the devastating consequences of unrestricted mediocrity in a unique and open way.
"Vice President" is entirely a video version of Wikipedia's character introduction. It shows Cheney's life experience in general, pushing all bad things in history to the protagonist, without explaining the origin of human nature and behavior motives. He is sometimes cold, sometimes tender, sometimes greedy for power, and sometimes profitable, and the swings and transitions during the period come without warning. Director Adam McKay used the usual multi-line narrative and multiple flashbacks, but due to the unclear main line, the secondary line did not form a logical closed loop, making the whole film a little messy. However, the director who was born in a talk show, with his profound comedy skills, made the film's dialogue not lost in a sharp sense, and the rhythm was relatively lively. During the period, he also interspersed with a variety of small bridges, which escaped the sleepy curse of political films.

    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.
