      Also on the 2012 U.S. Presidential Campaign Debate

      I also said that the 2012 U.S. presidential election debate was

      due to the lack of light/electricity/general administration in the U.S., which led to the release of such a film, telling the ugly truth about which candidate is not backed by capitalists’ dollars.

      Compared with the current 2012 U.S. presidential election, I watched three The debate,

      1, Obama and Romney often talk about China, just like in the movie. They both think that China is a currency...

      Everyone loves

      The Chinese like to sing red songs and make anti-Japanese films for sexual obscenity; Americans like to expose their filth and make them into movies for the world to see, from the king of war to the political melee. However, the ending of the film is too ideal, and even the truth-tellers will have some "accidents" even in the United States. Instead of upholding justice and hitting evil as shown at the end. In the final analysis, Americans are also obsessed. Big financial groups run...

      Is China so terrible in the eyes of the American people! You guys are bullying others, okay?

      Because rarely see political theme
      so chose comedy to adjust the atmosphere so

      foul language constantly
      , but used to see American films I'm used
      inside what has been sold to Chinese enterprises mentioned
      I wanted to know
      in the minds of the American people can be so China Fear?
      You guys are bullying others, okay!

      The most funny thing is the ending.

      A simple comedy, but it caused me to think deeply

      Yes, art comes from life, and American elections are ridiculous both in the director's lens and in reality, but is this the fault of electoral democracy? I think it is not. I have seen too many current political news and historical events and cases. I am more and more convinced that any form of thought in the world, especially religion and ideology, is essentially a tool. The problem is never the tool, but the use of the tool. people.

      Just like a gun, a gun...

      2012.12.23 Although the ending is a little too idealistic, this satirical political comedy still received considerable "laughing fruit", which is even more precious. Although the theme reflects the electoral process with all its ugliness, those laughs are not. But it is quite warm, lovely, and not at all vulgar.

    Creative background of

    The origin of the creation of "Political Melee" comes from the fact that after Jay Roach finished filming "Voting Disturbance", due to his preference for the genre of the drama, due to the limitation of the whole story, it did not completely let go, which also made the director produce I became interested in this kind of subject matter, and since then I have been thinking about how to make another film about politics. After seeing the...

    "Political Melee" portrays modern politics as a group of idealists who lack universal values, trying to make the country a better place through public service. There are always characters who are corrupt, good at manipulating, and crazy narcissistic. Everyone is hovering on the edge, everyone has a handle, and everyone will be furious because of a little bit of something.  (Sina Entertainment Review)
