From conspiracy to conspiracy

I really didn't expect Stephen to go to Duffy after being fired by Paul. He was so smart that he wouldn't understand the reason. Maybe George Clooney wanted to use this plot to tell the audience that Duffy's purpose for meeting Stephen. In fact, everyone knows it. On the contrary, I felt that Stephen was too stupid to do this. From dream-filled conspiracy to ruthless conspiracy, Stephen's changes run the gamut, until at the end, Paul tells him at Molly's funeral, "You look like an old hand, if that counts as a success, at the expense of your own." The price for the heart is too great. The role of the intern is the turning point of the key plot in the play, but it is really bloody. As the plot unfolds, the positive image of Governor Morris created by George Clooney gradually collapses, and the dark side of politics is at a glance. Although everyone knows that politics is dark, but watching this kind of film too much will affect the mood. . .

    It can no longer be a standard American-style political film. It is said that it is a secret battle to reflect the desire for profit and fame. In fact, it is still a boring political lesson. Fortunately, the "old cunning" and "ambitious" George Clooney brought the story after the adaptation, and there will be no major flaws; and he has recruited all the academics to support the scene, and it is brilliant; it is so good that it can be regarded as an appreciation. The gluttony of performance. For that alone, I really have to like George Clooney a little more.

The Ides of March quotes

  • Tom Duffy: Do yourself a favor. Get out, now. While you still can. Go into entertainment or business, go open a fucking restaurant in Costa Rica. Anything. Do something that's gonna make you happy, okay? Cause you stay in this business long enough, you're going to get jaded and cynical.

    Stephen Meyers: Like you?

    Tom Duffy: Yeah, just like me!

  • Stephen Meyers: If you want to be president, you can start a war, you can lie, you can cheat, you can bankrupt the country, but you can't fuck the interns. They'll get you for that.
