Who said Mickey Mouse Club debut has to be an idol?

I made a list for myself on Weibo before, a few must-see films for this year's awards season. "The President Kills Bureau" because of Lao Ke and the commander, "Drive" because of the commander and Mulligan, and "J.Edgar" because of Dongmu and Lao Li. Each group is a duo, and each group has its own breaking point.

Let’s not list the others, just talk about this so-called political thriller that is not politically thrilling.

Interjection, the faces of the two people on the poster don’t feel inconsistent when put together...

I heard about Commander Gao before because People Magazine chose Bradley Cooper is the sexiest man of the year, so a group of commander's brain-damaged fans stood in front of the magazine building to protest. At that time, I was shocked... This kind of obvious "it doesn't matter who you choose, it's just a matter of seeing it anyway", why would someone be so serious as a green organization protesting fur... Indirectly, my opinion on Commander High The impression has also become bad. I thought to myself, "This must be a little white-faced and bright-skinned type, that's why there are so many brainless fans", and planned to secretly anti him.

But you know that curiosity isn't just the thing that kills cats, people can be poisoned too.

I have no idea what a coincidental relationship is, so I decided to put aside my inherent prejudice and see how this guy who claims to be handsome has captured the IQ of so many old-fashioned fans. So I went to the Drive.

After watching the big face, I thought with disdain, I didn't have 10 lines, who wouldn't be handsome with a straight face, and a small voice said: Although your sister is not normal, three Look at the handsome Zhou Zheng, but the body wrapped in the scorpion coat and the obviously long face on the neck seem to have a unique taste. . .

So in this mood, I watched "The Presidential Killing Bureau". [The background knowledge is so long...]

Regarding this film, the general feeling is that the theme does not seem to be carried out very seriously, but it reveals too much inadvertently. It's like having a lot of foreplay and then suddenly smoking afterward. Maybe a big mistake...

There is no doubt about the appeal of Lao Ke, I can easily pull the actor Hoffman, and the powerful uncle Paul Giamatti, the commander who sells his face, body and acting skills. Eva Rachel Wood, whose taste is sometimes heavy and light, is the main cast. I believe that again The difference is at least a fierce collision of acting hurricane. But luckily it's not that bad.

The various preliminaries and intra-party struggles of the US general election have been shown here, but not in depth. It's not even more exciting than the real-life debates of the Republicans. And the intervention of the intern...really? !

Having said that, I have to say that ERW's role in this scene is completely redundant. Except for the word vase, the others are indebted. Does the film want to show that the "room service" between her and Steven is really emotional? I don't think so. It's just a game of love between Gao Shuaifu, who lives in the Millennium Hotel, and the Phoenix girl, who lives in a small hotel across the river.
As for taking abortion, it is also Gao Shuaifu's sense of responsibility to the governor and to his work.

Then speaking of Gao Shuaifu, as a well-known consultant in Washington, I have to say that his various performances are not at the level that a big player should have. Whether it is to meet with the other party's staff in private, or to be cut off by the first army, it should not be a mistake that a senior military division should make. The election is coming, and one mistake can kill your career. And after being dismissed, it is too simple too naive to describe it naively to find the other party. That's why I say that the film's portrayal of political thrillers is too superficial. It's not like the level of think tanks on the campaign team, especially after showing how talented and capable Steven is at the beginning, the design of this plot seems to shoot itself in the foot.

In addition, the actor Hoffman and the actor Paul all played normally, without flash and no mistakes. As for Lao Ke, there is not much room for this role at all. As a rookie director, this answer sheet is also considered passable.

So let me leave the question at the end, why do I say that Commander Gao is not an idol, only because in the last shot, in front of the lights and the camera, his face is half cloudy and half clear, the small expressions, the shaking of the facial muscles and the glare in his eyes content. I get it, Drive says he doesn't need acting skills, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have acting skills.
