The overall pacing of the film is smooth, and although the subject matter isn't one of those thrilling action movies or engaging genres, the lines written by the screenwriters elevate the film's gist a lot. Similarly, compared with some obscure literary films, the film directly highlights the political theme, and the shooting method is relatively simple, which makes the film convey the theme to the audience to the greatest extent possible without re-watching the film.
The two long shots at the beginning of the film not only directly point out the theme of the film, but also subtly echo the ending. The new female intern at the end of the credits only heralds the beginning of a false adult game.
Except for the tragic female intern in the protagonist, the hypocrisy of everyone is well portrayed. Of course, when Steve finally chose to jump over the wall to surrender to the opponent's camp, it might have resonated with the audience, but the reason why the black-bellied man who violated the principle did not continue was only the humiliating rejection of the opponent. It may be a coincidence, but whether or not the intern's affairs came out, it directly led to the death of the female intern. Therefore, no matter how sympathetic and resonating it is, Comrade Steve is theoretically black-bellied.
The most unacceptable fact is of course the governor's midnight phone call, because not only in the eyes of the audience, but even in Steve's heart, the governor is a spiritual idol who is perfect enough to deserve everything, but it is no surprise that The governor who wears this hypocritical coat will naturally become the president of the United States, and the victims of politics are not only the lives of female interns, but also the trust of the masses who do not know the truth...
Two campaign managers, Tom does not need much Said that, from enticing Steve to meet and eventually wooing MPs, despicable behavior is the most typical representative of this political battle, because he represents the people behind the rigging of the results of countless elections. And Paul, who was regarded as a mentor by Steve, also used the simple Steve and the loyal young man who had followed him for many years. In exchange for fame and fortune, he only made himself a victim of the entire political struggle. That's it.
Reporter Ada said in her first soy sauce scene that she would betray her color in order to get valuable reporting clues. Shady heart, because, the ending shows that betraying a friend who has been with you for years for the sake of reporting leads is just a piece of cake.
The film reveals the intrigue and hypocrisy among adults all the time, and the 20-year-old intern rookie plays the biggest tragic figure in this game. In this game, the intern is still underage!
