      Franklin and Jefferson are watching it all with a smile

      Many people are only interested in the Ming Dynasty, but I would rather spend some time watching this movie downloaded from the Internet on my computer to learn about the United States - the country that invented the computer and the Internet - how it works.

      There's almost every element of American culture we're familiar with: the Texas Wilderness, Chevrolet pickups, NASCAR races, football, Air Force One, country music, nuclear suitcases, Pepsi, the presidential election and Kevin...

      A vote from heaven

      Never seen Kevin like this. Get used to his role, but see that he is no longer a graceful bodyguard, no longer a chivalrous Robin Hood, no longer a cowboy galloping in the western wilderness. He was unshaven and had nothing to do but addicted to alcohol. He is not a good father, not a good husband, not a good employee, not a good citizen, and he has played almost every social role he has played. How do you say that word? loser. Down and out. It wasn't until the second half of the film that we...

      Various American dreams

      I vaguely remember the election of Mark Twain. When all kinds of things swarmed, the world in the eyes of the candidates became so funny.
      Gradually I grew up and saw the various American stories introduced to us by successful overseas Chinese in the media, including the US election.
      For example, this year, I saw Obama’s story on TV when I was in the car, and I went to the supermarket to watch the old lady talking about Obama’s skin color. There were more pictures of Obama in the...

      Why am I moved?

      I am not very cold about political movies, but this political movie that incorporates family themes touched me. Even if this kind of plot doesn't happen in reality, even if Bud gave a little sermon in the last speech, I was still touched.
          One vote decides who is the president. In reality, it will only happen in extreme circumstances. It often happens that when you push something to the extreme, you can have a deeper understanding of it. Therefore, this film takes the presidential...

      Impossible to happen in China

      Although it is a funny movie, its meaning is powerful. Looking at the education in the United States, an eleven-year-old girl knows that voting means everyone's responsibility. On the contrary, looking at China's exam-oriented education, what have we learned except for the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination? It can only be said that our generation has come here like this, can the next generation change? The answer is unknown. This movie made me see how...

    Movie plot

    Single father Bud ( Kevin Costner ) is just a very ordinary blue-collar worker. In his muddled life, the only sunshine is his 12-year-old good daughter Molly ( Madeline Carroll ) . However, on the day of election day, Bard suddenly became the target of media spotlights all over the world. By chance, his vote will determine the outcome of the US presidential election. The calm town quickly boiled over, and the media machines of the...

    Evaluation action

    The film continues to "enter" the president, even the presidential candidate. The editor handed over the power of deciding the presidential candidate to an ordinary person who was indifferent to politics and at the bottom of society, and then let a large group of elites treat him respectfully and obediently. This is really a big irony of American politics. The meaning of the ballot is higher than the value of the person, and the right...
