interests above all else

In the face of interests, everything is a cloud, and any justice and faith will give in, so the old saying is good, listen to what you say and do what you do. I think the most important thing is what you do. In order to win the presidential election, the governor turned his back on the injustice he began to pursue. Doing political deals, but having an affair with an intern. The male protagonist emphasizes that he is different from Paul's desperate attitude to win. In the end, for his own career, he has become the same or even more than Paul's. Paul's view of loyalty is worth it Appreciation, politics is always intriguing, what we see on the surface is not always the truth, and there are hidden secrets under the glossy exterior.

The more I went to the back, the more attractive I was. I couldn't take my eyes off the computer screen, for fear of missing a shot. Some shots are very distinctive. For example, when the hero and heroine meet in a bar, the faces of the hero and heroine are constantly switched under the soft lighting. In the close-up, it gives the impression that the space distance between the two is getting closer and closer, but in fact the space distance has not changed, and the sense of ambiguity is full.

I appreciate Paul's words, loyalty is more important than ability. In fact, the male protagonist settled the intern thing for the governor to win the election. Just when he thought he was doing his best, the boss fired him on the grounds of loyalty. It seems really embarrassing that the male protagonist went to meet his competitors privately, just to show his immaturity in his career and not knowing the consequences of doing so.

It's a good film, I was very emotional while watching it.
