The discussion of political morality is really stretched

It's a film that discusses morality in a political context, although George Clooney himself doesn't think it's a "political film". He said: "Politics is just a background and a stage in this film, and it doesn't play a key role. This story is more about morality and whether a person can face his own soul. .. So adapting the script to Wall Street, or any other setting, would work. I do, however, prefer people who are extremely powerful, who have the power and strength to do what they want to achieve something immoral Therefore, the political background of the film definitely enhances the grade and taste of the film, because in this environment, people’s choices and performances have the most typical meaning. I think people’s actions in politics are the same as before. , since the days of Julius Caesar, and has not changed until now."

The Ides of March literally means March 15. Historically, this day was the day Julius Caesar was assassinated. In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, a prophet tells Caesar to "beware of March 15th." So the title of The Ides of March is a symbol, alluding to some kind of feuding intrigue and trickery.

However, I think the discussion of morality about this kind of political power struggle is too sane Otherwise, you'll be digging your own grave.

This kind of capitalist democratic election politics must be born naturally due to the inevitability of fierce competition on a relatively fair basis. The continuous lack of exposure of political scandals such as planning, propaganda, exclusion, and even conspiracy, surveillance, slander, etc., can also understand the so-called unscrupulous competition in the competition. The lack of morality and the excessive discussion of morality is not urgent and exaggerated because it is difficult to properly protect oneself from the ordinary and even the slightest behavior and morality of citizens, so how can it be abandoned in the pursuit of supreme power? Of course, ordinary citizens may be It should be different from the consciousness of the big political figures, but the moral similarity is only the choice of different environments with different interests. The meaning is similar. The political success of relatively democratic political elections seems to inevitably involve the so-called closeness of interests, concessions, concessions, and mutual sharing. A win-win situation. Political ambition should be a huge and powerful psychological premeditated desire for domination, so the discussion of political morality is really stretched, which makes people feel very unconvincing, because bigger conspiracies seem to have already happened in reality. A more benign guess? Unless it becomes more transparent, there will be a person who will become famous since ancient times, let alone a king.
