      spoilers

      I really feel that this film, with the help of this candidate's mouth, gave Weinstein and all the people who got rid of Rice Rabbit, including Director Gunn, an opportunity to speak their hearts out. Sympathy or not, can't change reality: we live in an era like a magnifying glass, where women's consciousness is constantly awakening, and no one's words or deeds will be ignored any longer. This film may not be favored by many media and judges, and it does not have the appearance of the best...

      "Leaders": an example of why people today have zero tolerance for moral taint

      While the film might feel like it's whitewashing some public figures whose careers have been ruined by sex scandals or infidelity, and putting the media in a cheaper position, in my opinion, the film still gives Lots of opportunities to balance the two sides, giving both sides a chance to speak their minds. Gary Hart is just right now, telling people why some behaviors that were acceptable before are no longer acceptable.

      The answer is as one of the newspaper editors said: Times have...

      Great final speech

      well clearly

      Under present circumstances, this campaign cannot go on.

      I refuse to submit my family and my friends to further rumors and gossip.

      I don't want to be the issue and I cannot be the issue.

      If you're gonna have to spend all your time talking about yourself and you are not particularly good at that anyway,

      Then you can't maintain the link with the voters.

      In public life, some things may be interesting,

      But that doesn't necessarily...

      "In the era of surging information, maybe everyone should subconsciously reflect on themselves."

      A good ruler, named The Front Runner.

      The story takes place in 1988, and this movie storyline is easy to understand. In short, it can be described as a senator and Democratic presidential candidate Hart who entered the race but dropped out, a mistake made, three heartbroken girls and a group of immoral people. Hart's rants are portrayed with appropriate brush and ink in the film, and each rant is a struggle between the individual and the collective. His roars when he was...

      Trump: ?

      virtue and conduct

      Virtue and conduct, the whole country is debating it.

      Artists have bad morals, and each era has a different tonality for the president's playboy.

      A joke 30 years ago can be magnified to sum up a person's life.

      It's not fair, but who needs fair.

      Robust (robust) is a computer phrase, in short, it is said...

      Several characters shown in the film raised corresponding questions from their own perspectives, whether public figures, especially public officials, have the right to be tainted in their past, present and future personal lives; the public takes the innocence of their personal lives as the criterion for judging public figures Is it irrational; whether journalists influence elections by creating public opinion violates the original intention of the electoral system; how do journalists balance...

      Clinton and Chuangpu will say: Hahahahaha ... The movie is not completely equivalent to the post or spotlight, the story does not focus on the high point of the morality of Affair and the reporter's brokerage, but it is half self-pass half Documentary style to study the mentality of the protagonist in the situation, if compared with the public image of Chuangpu, it can be said that the character determines the...

      Americans should know that this kind of bipartisan scandal is no longer new or appealing. I saw the shadow of Jason's debut "Thank You for Smoking" at the beginning (I even wonder if they used the same bgm), but I couldn't see Jason's own style at all in the second half. Some say it's a step backwards for him, I don't know if that's the case, but it's probably a less-than-successful attempt at his own restrained...

    Movie plot

    In 1988, when U.S. Senator Gary Hart was running for president of the United States, he was derailed and ruined his political future. After the scandal broke out, the lives of Gary Hart, Hart's wife Lee and the young girl Donna Rice with whom Hart had an extramarital affair were affected in different ways. Gary Hart also has moments of inaccuracy when he looks at the media and what's at hand. He bets his future and his beliefs because...

    Evaluation action

    The Front Runner has an interesting tone. It does not have the depth of thinking and mapping like an art film, and it is not just an exciting commercial entertainment film. The film has the force and momentum to move forward, but these elements are not strong enough to grab the audience's attention. Hugh Jackman's convincing performances of masculinity and gravitas are also convincing of his rising popularity. His captivating but...
