Aaron Sorkin wrote the script twelve years ago, the director and starring changed round after round, and the funding has not been received. After finally shooting it in person, but encountering the new crown, he had to sell it to Netflix. Fortunately, the word of mouth is not bad, and events such as black equality, demonstrations and riots in the past can be considered a resurgence this year.
There are still a lot of changes to real events, in exchange for the brilliance of the characters, the splendid plot, and the self-expression of the people half a century ago. The space is limited, so I will briefly talk about 5 of the seven gentlemen (the other two were originally soy sauce): Tom Hayden, the spokesperson of the New Left, the drafter of the "Port Huron Declaration", and later had a relationship with Jane Fonda married and remained in politics; Rennie Davis, anti-Vietnam War leader, advocate of the nonviolent movement, and later a spiritual practice; Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, yuppie representatives, counterculture icons, the former committed suicide because of bipolar disorder, The latter was unfortunately killed in a car accident; David Dellinger, at least 20 years older than the previous four, was a staunch pacifist, and he still participated in various demonstrations in his later years.
The All-Star lineup is cool, of course, but there are still big names among the big names. On the famous freckles and Joseph, needless to say, on the acting skills of Mark Rylance (3 Tony Awards and 1 Oscar) and Frank Langella (the most nominated and awarded actor in the history of Tony Awards) Doing my part, but in the end all the limelight seems to be robbed by that hilarious OCD named Sasha Baron Cohen (covering face).
