game rules

I heard my classmates say that the name "President Killing Bureau" was a bit too exaggerated, creating a full gimmick, but after reading it, I felt that the name was not worthy of the name. The film was indeed a little dull at the beginning, but when that moment came, you knew that a good show was about to be staged.

The most impressive scene is that when all the foreshadowings have been buried, High Commander confessed to "Master" Hoffman that he met the "enemy camp" in private. After Hoffman turned and left... the rest is High Commander's black loneliness The tiny back of , set off under the huge Stars and Stripes. After one long shot, it became clear to all viewers that the storm was coming.
A promising young man who believes that he is "following the right person", that those in power can change this society, and that he has love for the general public, finally hid his kindness and began to use the rules of this circle after being put together by others. Face and conquer everything with the face of this circle.

Just as Commander High finally falls into "conventional rules", everything here has the shadow of a cycle - the little valet who replaced Commander High, the consulting firm that Commander Gordon was going to go to eventually became the destination of the old man, even pitifully in this bloody game Immediately after the sacrificed young girl left, a new little beauty was added. A young man's "I learn from the best" and an old man's talk about "I've been around for too long, you are too simple sometimes naive" have undoubtedly become the motto of this movie and even this society.
Don't you see how many such accidents and cycles existed in this society before the "unspoken rules" were given special meanings. A young man full of dreams and edges and corners finally put away all pomp, learns to grasp the enemy's weakest weakness, learns to wear a mask - and is eventually assimilated. After fate pushes you to a desperate situation, it will light up a ray of light at the same time, but this dawn is the original cruel fact that you are not willing to use. Finally you know that you can only compromise to fate, to this "system". While accepting that glimmer of light, you finally grew up, but you also lost your original self. Talent is not only the driving force to move forward, but sometimes even becomes the reason for "shooting for the first time". Indistinguishable lies become your sharpest weapon, you acquiesce to behind-the-scenes deals and unrealistic empty promises, the old dreams and integrity have been left behind - all that remains is to "win" "Unscrupulous, or, more brutally, just to survive.



Let's talk about the actors~
Commander Gao: You can give a very good performance, and the perfect aura almost completely overwhelms Clooney. The film begins with him and ends with him, and his composure and the light and shadow on his face create a calm and promising "new star in politics". Several times I even had the illusion of what would happen if he were to run in place of Clooney - of course, it was impossible. The last sentence of the confrontation: Will the public believe in a underdog, or will they choose a celebrity who has always shown a positive image?

Clooney: I seriously think it's because of the makeup, the domineering has completely faded... Even in the last confrontation scene, I couldn't see a cruel and old-fashioned character after tearing off the mask of hypocrisy. It's a good job of not laughing and laughing ... Similarly, the makeup should be credited -.-|

Philip Hoffman: The old man's acting is quite domineering. After reading IMDB, I found that the coach in moneyball was also played by him. ~Stubborn, authoritarian, paranoid, precise interpretation. It even makes me wonder if this will be his true character, haha...

Evan Rachel Wood: It's a normal performance, the longing and panic of young people, and the yearning of girls are all performed~ The design of this character is not bad. , including the last "successor", as mentioned above, everyone can't escape the fate of being "unspoken" by this circle.


Last nagging, the script of this film needs to be improved~ Although some coincidences finally justified themselves, but what happened was too just right. As for the story itself, looking back, I found that it was just an intrigue incident in the process of the struggle between the two sides, which is a little thin.
