The American version of "The Founding of the Nation"
Comparing this film to "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is likely to raise the production level of domestic film and television dramas, and seriously degrade this 7-episode mini-series.
According to Aunt Song Chunli, I haven't watched "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", so how can I say it's not good? In fact, there is always an urgent censorship, and the greatest significance of "The Great Cause of the People's Republic of China" is at most that it... -

It's definitely the lightest flavor I've seen on HBO, and the rhythm is a little slow in the back. It's much more impressive than watching "Reading American History in One Breath". What's the point of scribbling through it, to understand the spirit of freedom and the rule of law.
What is the meaning of life? This can be big or small. From small complaints after dinner, to big reasons to choose life and death. We may not yet know what the meaning of life is, but we know that there are... -

Okay, I learned about the discussion on the national economy in episode 5. You can ignore other content. The bad place, the tattered Adams, the tattered bear, are a bunch of poor people who are going to die, just to fight for power, it's really boring, every time In a presidential election, everyone chooses the tallest person. The height determines the fate. In the show, Adams said it was great, and Washington was also great, but did you find a mistake, they wanted to be independent at the...

Open God Vision Judge John Adams' History Lessons
Those who participate in politics must form a party. Without a party, it is difficult to achieve anything. Without a party, they are in the middle and have high positions of power, hindering the development of other parties, and they will fight other fighting factions and suppress them badly. At the time of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Adams was the leader of the group and had many followers: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, etc., and it was only then that he achieved the great...

HBO's music is as majestic and magnificent as ever, and I never tire of listening to it.
The play selects the most famous "Boston Massacre" in Adams' legal career and kicked off the prelude of Adams' life. His brilliant defense of the British soldiers earned him a sensible reputation, the trust and favor of the Anglophiles, and the resentment of the colonial public. His original intention was to establish a just and selfless reputation for the rude and rude colonies in...

A good friend and a good partner, what more can you ask for in such a life. Emma has so many familiar faces, Andrew Scott plays the son-in-law, Samuel Barnett plays the younger son, and Stephen Dillane's Jefferson is so handsome that I don't recognize it at all...

Movie plot
-
John Adams: My thoughts are so clear to me... each one takes perfect shape within my mind. But when I speak, when I offer them to others, they seem to lose all definition.
-
John Adams: I have seen a queen of France with 18 million livres of diamonds on her person, but I declare that all the charms of her face and figure added to all the glitter of her jewels did not impress me as much as that little shrub right there. Now your mother always said that I never delighted enough in the mundane, but now I find that if I look at even the smallest thing my imagination begins to roam the Milky Way!

John Dickinson: One colony cannot be allowed to take its sister colonies headlong into the maelstrom of war. Parliament will be eager to call a halt to hostilities, as are we. They will seek conciliation. We must offer them an olive branch. I move this assembly consider a humble and dutiful petition be dispatched to his Majesty, one that includes a plain statement that the colony desires immediate negotiation and accommodation of these unhappy disputes, and that we are willing to enter into measures to achieve that reconciliation.
John Adams: The time for negotiation is past. The actions of the British army at Lexington and Concord speak plainly enough. If we wish to regain our natural-born rights as Englishmen then we must fight for them.
John Dickinson: I have looked for our rights in the laws of nature and can find them only in the laws of political society. I have looked for our rights in the constitution of the English government and found them there! Our rights have been violated, Mr. Adams, that is beyond dispute. We must provide a plan to convince Parliament to restore those rights! Do we wish to become aliens to the mother country? No, gentlemen, we must come to terms with the mother country. No doubt the same ship which carries forth our list of grievances will bring back their redress.
John Adams: Mr. Dickinson. My wife and young children live on the main road to Boston, fewer than five miles from the full might of the British Empire. Should they sit and wait for Gage and his savages to rob them of their home, their possessions, their very lives? No, sir! Powder and artillery are the surest and most infallible conciliatory measures we can adopt!
John Dickinson: If you explode the possibility of peace, Mr. Adams, and I tell you now, you will have blood on your hands!
John Adams: And I tell you, Mr. Dickinson, that to hold out an olive branch to Britain is a measure of gross imbecility.
John Dickinson: If you New England men continue to oppose our measures of reconciliation, you will leave us no choice but to break off from you entirely and carry on the opposition in our own way.
John Adams: I sit in judgment of no man's religion, Mr. Dickinson, but your Quaker sensibilities do us a gross disservice, sir. It is one thing to turn the other cheek, but to lie down in the ground like a snake and crawl toward the seat of power in abject surrender, well, that is quite another thing, sir. And I have no stomach for it, sir! No stomach at all!
John Dickinson: We will exhaust all peaceful approaches, Mr. Adams. And we will do it with or without the approbation of you and your Boston insurrectionists!
