This film is actually very suitable for those of us who have just come out of the society, or who are about to go out of the society. Stephen is also a young man with a dream, but in this political world of open and secret fights, Stephen was betrayed and used by reporters who claimed to be friends. He even knew that the candidate he helped was actually a two-faced person, and immediately let him Losing the blood of the original intention, he has become a reality.
In the last scene of the film, the reporter interviewed Stephen about "how it all came about". I think this ending is well done, and it hits the point immediately and allows us to think very well.
George Clooney has been preparing for this movie for some time, but I think that what this movie tells is quite realistic in general.

    The script is a bit mentally retarded, especially the intern character. If it weren't for High Commander's hard work, this would be a bad movie with electoral politics as a stunt.

The Ides of March quotes

  • Tom Duffy: You know, I'm trying to remember if the Democrats have ever nominated an atheist before.

    Paul Zara: Well, we know they've nominated a jackass before.

  • Tom Duffy: [to Stephen] You exude something. You draw people in. All the reporters love you. Even the ones that hate you love you. 'Cause you play them like the pieces on a chessboard and make it look effortless. And we both know how hard it is constantly being on guard, weighing every word, every move. But from the outside, you make it look easy. People are scared of you. 'Cause they don't understand how you do it, and they love you for it. And that is the most valuable thing in this business. The ability to win people's respect by making them mistake their fear for love.
