I can't think of all the things a more conscientious artist could do.
All of a sudden, when I dreamed of going back to college, I worshipped Jon Stewart with all my heart: I downloaded the daily show from the entire internet, translated the episode of Hu Da’s visit to the United States for the first time and made srt subtitles for the first time, and then did it in the English intensive reading class His presentation, to the English dissertation for undergraduate graduation, was written in the style of his show's hosting (and the judges...

The narcissism of the Democratic Party
First of all, there are serious problems with the script structure of the film. If it weren't written and directed by Jon Stewart, Hollywood's normal film selection process would not have selected such a script that had the theme hidden for an hour before it appeared. The monologue in the town hall in the first ten minutes did not foretell the development of the plot, nor did it show the theme of the movie, nor did it arouse the audience's interest. Only after watching the movie did we...

How to evaluate the political comedy "Irresistible"
The king controls the society, and the king maker controls the king. This kind of "peak experience" is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it also makes the king makers and their disciples want to stop.
Once you fail to make a king, you will find the next candidate. As long as the elections continue, there will be no end for the King Makers. As a Democratic strategist, Gary Zimmer awakened from failure and soon found a suitable...

Americans dare to black everything
The film is easy to understand, and the filming is also humorous and interesting. Everything is done so far. It is indeed a little light, which does not prevent it from being a good movie. Before, it was either black Russia or black China. This time it is the American election system. It has long been corrupted, but the Beacon Nation will continue to run with their system all the way. American society has been divided. The Democrats and Republicans must stand in line for everything. Someone...

Although there is dissatisfaction, it will not change anything
A declining small town, an interesting video, a veteran farmer, angrily denounced the Republican mayor for his unfair handling of immigration issues. The video seemed unintentionally seen by Gary, one of the leaders of the Democratic campaign advisory team. Gary felt that this was a good opportunity to insert a nail in the heart of the Republican Party, so he personally went to persuade the farmer to participate in the market as a Democratic candidate. Long campaign.

Political subjects can be so funny because of the lack of Sting. It turned out to be my favorite Uncle Jon! ! ! No wonder it's awesome! !...

I originally thought it was a Democratic Party propaganda film, but the ending reversal was really caught off guard and wonderful. Citizens’ interests are obtained by manipulating the election process of one of the core systems of a democratic country. This must be disturbing. The system ills reflected in political irony—partisanship and money elections are also clichés criticizing representative...

Politics is... I know I'm fooling you, and you know I'm fooling you, anyway, let's get together and try to find an optimal solution that tells the fewest lies and solves more problems. Uncle Jon's film is spicy enough, and the plot twist is peaceful. It's like a talk show rather than a movie. It's not based on the charm of the actors. To be honest, it's a bit hard to...

Democracy is the least bad system? In terms of carbon-based biological society, I don't...

Gary Zimmer: So, um, we can't win. The people in this town are pretty set in their ways. And we lost the eight nuns. That wasn't good. So, we can't win.
Jack Hastings: Uh... y-you know, we appreciate all you done. I mean, the campaign and, uh... I'm just sorry we let you down, but...
[relieved]
Jack Hastings: well, all I can say is thank you.
Diana Hastings: Really, Gary, thank you for everything.
Jack Hastings: It was a hell of a ride.
[Jack and Diana laugh]
Gary Zimmer: Are... you shitting me? All I have to say is we can't win, and you're... you're through, you're out.
Diana Hastings: You said we can't win.
Gary Zimmer: Unless. We can't win unless... You didn't let me finish. We can't win unless it turns out that this town isn't the Mayberry everybody thinks it is. I just got a little piece of intel that's kind of intriguing. So, the mayor's brother Ziggy,
[Jack steps back]
Gary Zimmer: he had an Oxy problem.
Jack Hastings: Well, he was a roofer and got hurt on the job.
Gary Zimmer: Yes, well, what you might not know is that the mayor pulled some strings, kept him out of jail, got him into rehab. That is abuse of power, nepotism. Probably some clerical shit in there.
Diana Hastings: [scoffs] Come on. Gary. But we're the good guys, right?
Gary Zimmer: [flatly] Yeah, we're the good guys.
Diana Hastings: When they go low...
Gary Zimmer: We go high.
Diana Hastings: Unless we also need to go low, apparently.
[chuckles incredulously]
Gary Zimmer: Only to keep those who would go lower out of power.
Diana Hastings: So, when they go low, we go higher, incrementally, in relation to how low they went.
Gary Zimmer: Regrettably, yes.
Diana Hastings: When they go low, we go almost as low, but we feel worse doing it.
Gary Zimmer: You think they thought twice about making your dad look like a PTS nutcase? And I'm going low because I'm gonna tell the truth about the mayor?
Jack Hastings: His brother's fragile, Gary.
Gary Zimmer: This town is fragile. The whole area is fragile. Our democracy.
Diana Hastings: [exasperated] Stop. We're not doing it. Okay? People are gonna get hurt.
Gary Zimmer: I'm sorry... I really am... but sometimes good people have to do shitty things in service of the greater good. Isn't that right, Colonel?
[exits]
Diana Hastings: Hey.
[follows Gary]
Diana Hastings: Hey.
Gary Zimmer: Yeah?
Diana Hastings: Gary, stop.
Gary Zimmer: What? Is this politics?
Gary Zimmer: It's not politics anymore, Diana. It's... it's math. That's what an election is. It's just math. We need what they get plus one. That's all. And if I can't get that by getting more people to vote for your dad, then I have to get fewer people to vote for Braun.
[sighs and exits]

Diana Hastings: [knocks, door opens, sighs] Hi.
Mayor Braun: Come on in.
Diana Hastings: Thank you. I'm so sorry. I... I'm pulling the plug.
Mayor Braun: Hey, hey.
Diana Hastings: I mean, we have the money we need. We have more than we would need. And this would... destroy your brother.
[inhales deeply]
Diana Hastings: And I'm just so sorry.
Mayor Braun: Hey. You have nothing to be sorry for. You saved us, Diana.
Diana Hastings: [looks down] Mm-hmm.
Mayor Braun: This place was done. Just another town in the middle of nowhere, going nowhere. And everyone agreed... yours was the best idea we had. Unless you want to go back to the two Mikes' idea of... ostrich meat farms. Diana, you moving back here, caring so much... I mean, this whole thing...
[sighs]
Mayor Braun: Well, I just know how proud of you your dad is and how proud your mom would be. And how grateful every single one of us are for what you've done and everything you've given. It's working.
Diana Hastings: Okay.
[sighs]
Diana Hastings: What do we do about Gary?
Mayor Braun: Whatever Gary thinks he's got, why don't we just give him something better?
-
Gary Zimmer: So you used me.
Diana Hastings: We used you? You guys only show up here once every four years, and only then 'cause it's a swing state. And then, when it's over, you're gone. But we're still here with all the same problems we had before, just waiting around for you to come back and make the same empty promises as last time. We used the system. You make millions of dollars funneling tens of millions of dollars into this election economy. All we did is take a cut.
Gary Zimmer: Hmm. Well... I guess I just... I thought that maybe you and I had a little something.
Diana Hastings: [scoffs] I'm 28. I mean...
[chuckles]
Diana Hastings: in what world would this... be okay?
Gary Zimmer: D.C. and L.A., parts of New York, Miami, maybe Dallas.
Gary Zimmer: Mm.
[chuckles]
Gary Zimmer: Look... it wasn't personal.
Gary Zimmer: Mm.
Diana Hastings: It was math.
Gary Zimmer: Math.
Diana Hastings: But this system, the way we elect people, it's terrifying. And exhausting. And I think it's driving us all insane.
