  • Ranger filmed "Death of a President" in Chicago, and all the actors used Americans. The film unfolds in the form of a documentary, fictitiously interviewing people from the former Federal Bureau of Investigation and the British government after Bush was killed. It is about how to restrict civil rights in American foreign policy, the consequences of the Second Gulf War , and the security of the United States. Sober observation of the system. Based on the real video data of Bush’s arrival in Chicago, the director added the actor’s interpretation of Bush’s different aspects and fictionalized the picture of Bush’s 2007 speech in Chicago. The film uses computer technology to "graft" Bush's head onto the actor, and shows Bush being shot in the head by two bullets.

      Serious YY

      This is a YY production which is quite strictly prohibited. Political attitude cannot be said to be deliberately aimed at Bush Jr. The description of Bush in the film is relatively objective, and even a small praise for his progressive speech skills. A handful. "The Death of the President" is not just a satire of President Bush. Everyone knows that the President does not represent him alone. The assassination of YY Bush in the film may bring some pleasure to spectators who hate Bush and the US...

      It’s enough for the president to die

      It’s hard to say that I watched this film with a bit of entertainment. It’s a bit of a metaphorical mood to watch this film. But everything is good, the director is still extremely ironic and sarcastic. From the special attention to Muslims in the United States to Bush’s own "humor" ", to the American jury system... If we must learn anything from the movie, it is that we must have a clear head in the event of an emergency. In grief, the jury can judge when the evidence is insufficient. If...

      "Death of the President" and "United States of America"

      There are some similarities between these two films, which can be said together.

      First of all, they are all beautiful-I mean, I think they are very beautiful. However, they don't have any action science fiction or disasters like heaven and earth, no alien fleets, and no high-tech weapons. Although they all contain a lot of special effects, those special effects are not used to stimulate your senses, but to fool your historical intuition.

      These two films both adopted a style...

      Pagans are always a confidant

      Many people have heard of a movie called "Confederate States of America", CSA: The Confederate States of America. This aerial history film, filmed in 2004, takes the form of a virtual documentary to record such a history. If the American Civil War was won by the American South and the slavery system was preserved, what about the subsequent 150 years of American history? So USA became CSA. The film critic tells this fictional history from the perspective of a British television station....

      Creative but unsightly

      It is also an unprecedented film. This film is a documentary that describes the entire process of Bush’s assassination on October 19, 2007...
       
      Although it is a fictitious event, it is so eloquent that you can’t help but believe that it will happen that day.
       
      This is the first time I saw this kind of documentary... I don't know how Bush felt.
       
      By the way, the FBI suspected a Muslim in the film to commit a crime, and it was associated with terrorists. But it turned...

    Movie plot

    Regarding this "pseudo documentary" mode used by British filmmakers, a channel 4 spokesperson insisted that if filmmakers choose to represent a completely fictitious president, they will not achieve the shocking effects that movies have today.
    In 2007, President George W. Bush went to Chicago to give a speech (using the news footage of President Bush in Chicago). When he left the meeting, he was assassinated by an unknown gunman. In...
