    In the end, it turned out to be a mouthpiece to solve the problem. It's definitely not as refreshing as taking a plane. Black and white films deepen the face blindness of foreign white...

    The story of this film is very good and very fascinating. But I'm going to talk about the old topic again. I don't really feel the political subject matter. What I feel about this film is the development of the plot, so I can't feel the political connotation. What's more unsatisfactory is that the appearance of a lot of names at the beginning of the film made me very confused. There are so many stars in this film, and March's performance is a little more eye-catching. The male nominee’s...

    This movie was released a year after Kennedy's assassination, combined with Kennedy's handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis and some hawkish images of the military at that time, it perfectly reproduces the atmosphere of the Cold War. Under the black and white images, several shots are very powerful, and with snare drums, this film is as calm as an internal reference...

    Constitutional missions, political suspense, moderately well-formed, sophisticated images (do not compare this film with "Dr. Strange Love" if you don’t look at other short reviews). Is the senator’s way of finding the secret base a bit far-fetched... It’s also a "for Don’t engage in all-male class politics and make a sex scene between men and women.” After Ava Gardner’s "Embroidered Scarf Masked Pirate", remotely VS Bertrand Lancaster again. Lanka's role as war mad general always feels that it...

Seven Days in May quotes

  • General James Mattoon Scott: And if you want to talk about your oath of office, I'm here to tell you face to face, President Lyman, that you violated that oath when you stripped this country of its muscles - when you deliberately played upon the fear and fatigue of the people and told them they could remove that fear by the stroke of a pen. And then when this nation rejected you, lost faith in you, and began militantly to oppose you, you violated that oath by not resigning from office and turning the country over to someone who could represent the people of the United States.

    President Jordan Lyman: And that would be General James Mattoon Scott, would it? I don't know whether to laugh at that kind of megalomania, or simply cry.

    General James Mattoon Scott: James Mattoon Scott, as you put it, hasn't the slightest interest in his own glorification. But he does have an abiding interest in the survival of this country.

    President Jordan Lyman: Then, by God, run for office. You have such a fervent, passionate, evangelical faith in this country - why in the name of God don't you have any faith in the system of government you're so hell-bent to protect?

  • President Jordan Lyman: All right, Colonel. Let's sum it up, shall we? You're suggesting what?

    Colonel Martin "Jiggs" Casey: I'm not sure, Mr. President: just some possibilities, what we call, uh "capabilities" in military intelligence...

    President Jordan Lyman: You got something against the English language, Colonel?

    Colonel Martin "Jiggs" Casey: No, sir.

    President Jordan Lyman: Then speak it plainly, if you will.

    Colonel Martin "Jiggs" Casey: I'm suggesting, Mr. President, there's a military plot to take over the government. This may occur some time this coming Sunday.
