Although my lack of understanding of American politics and law affected my viewing experience of the film, the five stars are more because of Jessica Chastain's excellent acting skills. When I was watching "The Help" yesterday, I didn't realize that the silly, sweet and kind Celia was played by a model worker.
Sloan, the political lobbyist, plotted one trick after another to win the gun control bill. Because opposing gun control is not in line with her own concept, she left the original company and came to the new company with supportive staff. Sloan's way of working is often unexpected, such as when she made news that she was going to Virginia to win a congressman, in fact she privately won 15 million donations from 30 female supporters. After arriving at the new company, Sloan admired Evers, a member of the new team. Sloan argued with his opponent that his subordinate Evers was a survivor of gun violence, a scar that Evers never told anyone. Before Sloan did that, she asked Evers to take her place in TV media interviews so she could handle them when the day came. Evers was almost killed by a gunman while on a business trip, and the person who killed the gunman and rescued her was a registered legal gun owner. Evers has since parted ways with Sloan, and his opponents, taking the opportunity to bring Sloan down for good, begin to hunt down her scandal and organize a hearing. Little do they know that this hearing is also a bureau set by Sloan long ago. She had deliberately signed the document to allow the MP to travel to Indonesia with funds provided by the Indonesian government, which is evidence that the opponent accused Sloan of bribery. Sloan knew that once they gained an advantage in the gun control bill, the opponent would do anything to bring her down, so she not only deliberately left evidence for the opponent, but also kept her former assistant in the original company as a spy. Through the wiretapping of the former National Security Agency hired by Sloan, she pointed out at the hearing that the hearing moderator on the spot, a congressman, was the opponent who bribed him to change his position and turned to accuse Sloan, and put the video data on it. It's online for everyone to watch. Sloan had already expected such an outcome. She wanted to lose both, and she would not hesitate to sacrifice her political career for it. Lobbyists, she says, are all about knowing what their opponents are going to do and thinking ahead about them. Sloan's persistent way must not be accepted and liked by everyone, but it must be admired by some people and daunted by others.
I remember watching an interview with a model worker before. She said that Beijing is fun and likes China very much. Speaking of the nickname the Chinese gave her as Model Worker Sister, she happily said that someone finally understood me! A very cute American girl!
