      pure positive love

      A very good film about the love story of Obama and Michelle when they interned at a Chicago law firm. This film touches on issues of race, family issues, and the two people's resonance in worldview values. In that innocent age, the collision of two people's thoughts rubbed the spark of love, and after Obama left office, the love with the first lady will always be deeply remembered in the minds of the American people, and it has been passed down as a good story for a generation, affecting...

      The originality is still good, telling the day when the president and his wife fell in love. From a certain angle, special actors look a lot like that. Both the photography style and the narrative have a very simple American indie feel. However, the biggest problem with the film is that there are too many dialogues and no pictures are used to narrate. And there are some emotional twists that are pretty cheap. When writers write dialogue, consider why the content of the dialogue will appeal to...

    Movie plot

    Years are ruthless and make people grow old. Six years as president turned Barack Hussein Obama into a frowning, petty veteran politician. Back in time 25 years ago, at the age of 28, he was a handsome and handsome guy, and he had a lot of "going ahead" for love.
    In the summer of 1989, when he interned at the Sidley international law firm in Chicago, Barack Hussein Obama, a freshman at Harvard Law School , was a little young, and his...
