    Even if you know the result long ago, you will still follow the plot step by step. Politics and law will always use each other. Good use of the rules is king. I always feel that Kevin Spacey's role has not been dug deep enough. But of course, it seems that it is difficult for similar stories to happen in our country in a short period of time, and we can only see the excitement of the Americans. Laura Dern is such an interesting...

    HBO once again showed their sharpness and sensitivity. In this TV movie, both the analysis of the overall trend of the event and the analysis of each individual involved in the whole process are in place; and the US election that I specifically learned about on Wikipedia Rules are also a bonus for...

    Saw it two years ago. The U.S. Constitution has always been proud of Americans, but the "Electoral College" system stipulated in it has always been criticized. The contradiction between the Electoral College system and democracy has become more and more prominent. A good popular science film also highlights the important position of the nine-member justices in the United...

    The event is clear but the amount of information is huge, it is difficult to take into account the performance and subtitles at the same time, the rhythm is fast, the scribbles are scribbled, there is no obvious climax of the scene, and I am very tired. It is recommended as an image reference of real events, without...

    There is nothing special about the movie, except that it clearly reproduces Bush vs Gore, a lawsuit with special significance in the history of American constitutional government. At the end of the film, Baker, who is ruthless and omnipotent, delivers a speech praising the American system, which is very ironic. This story brought to mind a question that I had been thinking about before. I used to think that the constitutional system is a fair framework of rules. As long as it does not exceed...

  • James Baker: People are going to say all kinds of things about this election, that is was down to 154 votes, that Bush's brother was governor, that the US Supreme Court gave it to us. But I want you to remember that we won every single recount. Never once did we trail Gore. And who knows how many votes we lost when the networks called Florida for Gore before all the polls were closed on election night. But more important than all that is that the system worked. There were no tanks on the streets. This peaceful transfer of power in the most emotional and trying of times is a testament to the strength of the Constitution and to our faith in the rule of law.

  • Ron Klain: We should have asked for a statewide from the get-go - that was our biggest mistake.

    Michael Whouley: Mm-hmm, and Ralph Nader should've pulled his head out of his ass. And Elian Gonzalez should've never left Miami. And Gore should've campaigned with Clinton. And Clinton should've got caught getting a blowjob from Sharon Stone instead of Monica Lewinsky 'cause then his approval ratings would have shot through the roof. And Katherine Harris should've thought twice about purging 20,000 voters from the rolls. And George Bush, Jr. should have never quit drinking, but he did. It is what it is, pal. Four years from now we'll come back, gather our information and go right back at 'em.

    Ron Klain: Even after all the mistakes and all the corruption, we still had about half a day there where the entire state was counting.

    Michael Whouley: Mn-hmm, and do you think if W had asked for a recount, the Supreme Court would have stopped it?
