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.

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...

Jack Hastings: [walks to the microphone at a city council meeting] Excuse me, fellas.
Mayor Braun: Jack, I already told you, you can widen that easement on Hamburg...
Jack Hastings: Um, actually, it's about that resolution you're thinking about passing.
Mayor Braun: With all due respect, Colonel, that discussion has ended.
Jack Hastings: Yeah, yeah. So I heard. But, uh... the thing is that, um... it's a bad idea.
Big Mike: Y... you can't... Uh, okay, well, I already seconded, but whatever.
Jack Hastings: I know we're in a bad spot, but... you can't bring it back by throwing these people under the bus.
Mayor Braun: Whoa, we're not throwing anybody under anything, Jack.
[scoffs]
Mayor Braun: Money was tight when the base was still open, but now... I mean, we just got to be smart. We got to eliminate cheating the programs.
Jack Hastings: There's not a damn soul using those programs that doesn't need 'em, and you know it.
Mayor Braun: And all they need to do is produce the acceptable I.D., and the benefits will be...
Jack Hastings: And you know they can't do that.
Mayor Braun: Well...
[scoffs]
Mayor Braun: I don't make the rules, Jack.
[all eyes look at the Mayor]
Mayor Braun: I mean, I do, I guess. Not by myself, but... this is over.
[Jack turns and begins to exit]
Mayor Braun: Okay, we have a motion that has been seconded. It is time to bring it to a vote.
Jack Hastings: [Jack turns about-face and returns] Uh, you know, uh, just curious... you know, when the river backed up and the folks you think might be cheating stood shoulder to shoulder with us stuffing sandbags for three days straight, ended up saving your store, you check their I.D.'s then?
Mayor Braun: Discussion's closed, Jack!
Jack Hastings: You checking I.D.'s when they're bringing food to the church
[Mayor bangs gavel]
Jack Hastings: potlucks, Walt?
Mayor Braun: Enough, Jack. You had your say.
[sighs]
Mayor Braun: Look, we got rules here, but that don't make us bad people.
Jack Hastings: I'm not saying you're a bad person, Billy. I'm saying you're scared. Hell, we all are. Damn town went from 15,000 to five overnight, and business went with it. We're not bringing it back by... by turning on each other. Corps taught me the chain's only as strong as its weakest link. And Father Heuvel here taught me that I am my brother's keeper.
[...]
Jack Hastings: Whatever you do for the least of us, you do for the Lord.
[...]
Jack Hastings: The point is, it's easy to be strong of character in the good times. The test is the bad times. If you can't live your principles then, well... I guess they aren't principles; they're just hobbies.

Gary Zimmer: Gentlemen... this square-jawed paragon of Americana is our goddamn key back into the forbidden city.
Kurt: Well, that's my stop.
Gary Zimmer: Sit. Kurt, sit.
Kurt: Call me when he gets to the point.
Gary Zimmer: Nope. You're not going anywhere. No, sit. And we have Alan to thank for bringing this man to our attention.
Evan: It's Evan.

Gary Zimmer: Did I happen to mention that he is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps?
Kurt, Gary's Assistant, Meeting Attendees: Yes.
Gary Zimmer: And a farmer.
Kurt, Gary's Assistant, Meeting Attendees: Um... you did. I believe so.
Gary Zimmer: And did I happen to mention that he's a widower?
Kurt, Gary's Assistant, Meeting Attendees: Impressive. All right. Well done.
Gary Zimmer: A man who makes Joe the Plumber look like Dukakis in mom jeans and a fucking Easter bonnet... in the reddest of counties in the great now swing state of Wisconsin.
Kurt, Gary's Assistant, Meeting Attendees: Mm-hmm.
Gary Zimmer: Is... a Democrat.
Kurt: Uh... he's a Democrat?
Gary Zimmer: Yeah. He just doesn't know it yet.
