      After the big bad, how can Laozi be bad?

      Very swaying, very contradictory in my heart, very immersive, I really feel a wave of very strong reality, with a sense of substitution in middle school. It's as if I have had such fantasies and secondary school, and if it is true, one day, my secondary secondary school is realistically placed in front of my eyes, and I may not be as free and easy as tom. He waved his hand and looked at him to say goodbye to a surprise that didn't belong to him. But in the end, it was unexpectedly conquered...

      Don't love Jiangshan, love beauty

      I don't know why, many movies have to add other different elements besides the theme of the description itself, especially the aspect of love. I think this movie is no exception. It is a political farce in itself, but it is joined by a slightly touching love story. I can't help thinking about whether to use pure love to set off this dirty politics, I'm sorry I think too much.

      In the end, Dobbs gave up the country and asked for the beauty. Let's not talk about the beauty, we will all...

      political humor

      In fact, after Reagan was elected, he provided new career choices for the 360-line champions, and also provided more entertainment for everyone.

      For example, if a stripper becomes the president, then everyone has a lot of beautiful desktops to download, and it's only sex, but no scandals. How wonderful.

      If a comedian was president, he would say:

      Politicians are like diapers, they have to be changed frequently to keep them clean.

      Why don't politicians...

      for the record..........

      A more creative comedy
      p.s. Why do Americans always like to make fun of the president..

      I told J when the plot was still going on that if I were, I wouldn't tell
      me. In fact, I was still thinking that this woman was sick and she had to say it.
      If I go out regardless of the impact, I will first go to quickly get to know all the candidates and then quickly decide whether or not to say no
      . American history, of course, presupposes that Tom is a good president,...

      The right to speak

      Tom in the play is a well-known stand-up comedian on TV. He has millions of TV viewers who love him, and naturally has a considerable right to speak in addition to fame. It is precisely because of his right to speak that he is qualified to run for the presidency of the United States. This reminds me that in the United States, most of the hosts of news programs are senior reporters who have worked on the front line of news for many years, such as Walter Cronkite, such as Peter Jennings. These...

      Good settings are wasted by the positioning of the film itself. . . Although it's annoying male pig, but for the sake of Lord Ken, the soy sauce emperor, I also watched it. . . Tsk tsk, this is the true love in the legend. ....

    Movie plot

    Talk show host Tom Dobbs is a mean-spirited guy. His entire career has been built on poking fun at politicians and conveying the views of those infuriated in the country. Night after night he told his audiences those vehement jokes until, on a talk show, an audience member's suggestion gave him a very interesting idea: Instead of laughing at the candidates here, why not go Run for President of the United States.
    After a flippant...

    Filming

    The film was shot almost entirely in New York. Director Barry Levinson demanded that the film must have a documentary realism and documentary quality, full of textured graininess, making the film look more like good night news. The film's cinematographer, Dick Pope, started his career by shooting documentaries. Barry Levinson was very interested in Dick Pope's method of filming with a camera in hand. The direct impact of this shooting...

    Movie quotes

    • Tom Dobbs: [paying an impromptu visit to Congress] I'll try and be brief, because I know this is the Senate's bingo day... This is not official; it's just our little secret between you, me and the world media.

    • Tom Dobbs: My manager's only annoying when he's happy. It's an old Irish tradition... I've played in clubs for years; I've had to deal with drunks, hecklers and angry waitresses - including my ex-wife, who was all three.

    • Jack Menken: When you're in love with a beautiful woman, she can tell you that Gandhi ate hot dogs and you'll believe her.
