Video Analysis
A very wonderful movie, I didn't fully know the truth until the end, and finally let me get rid of the extremely entangled psychology in the process of watching the movie, and gave Ms. Sloan a thumbs up: awesome.
The rhythm of the film is very fast, especially the lines. It is so fast that it is sometimes difficult for me to keep up with the rhythm, but this does not affect our understanding of the plot, because although the film is interspersed with editing through flashbacks, the overall main line is still very clear. , only such a rhythm can reflect the current state of every minute and every second.
This is a movie related to politics, because it involves the gun control law in the United States and the special group of lobbyists, but friends who are not interested in politics need not worry, because this movie can still be very attractive without politics People, because they are full of human nature, espionage and other factors.
To be honest, for a suspense film, the first paragraph of the film has attracted me. A woman who looks capable and powerful looks at us off the screen and says in a hoarse voice, "The point of lobbying is to gain insight into the opportunities, predict the opponent's moves, and then design countermeasures. The winner is always one step ahead of the opponent. When the opponent flips his trump card, he will show his trump card." So who is this woman? And what is her trump card? This is the entry point and the biggest suspense of the film.
Who is this woman? Ms. Sloan's character is a major reason for the film's continued appeal. As a strong woman, she has super ability and competitiveness, and the concept of using any means to achieve her goals, which makes her invincible in the lobbying world. She rarely sleeps, works almost 24 hours a day, has no lover, only a male partner to meet her physical needs, but she has faith.
The first time I admired her refusal to overturn gun control laws was when she said, "I only work for what I believe in, so I can sleep at night." Many people will sell everything for money and fame, including The views and beliefs she has always adhered to, but Sloan did not. She can use any means to achieve her goals, but first of all, this goal must be able to live with her conscience.
However, the subsequent development of the story made me suspicious of her, because she did not trust her partner, and even used anyone to achieve her goals. Although this is her way of working, because only in this way can her work be carried out secretly and effectively, no one will give her back easily, because you don't know when you will be betrayed by her and used by her. But obviously the purpose of the film is not to make us quarrel over the quality of her character. The next story development made me stunned. I never expected that the ace she brought out could be so powerful. The following content contains key spoilers, it is recommended to read the movie after watching the movie.
What is her trump card? Was she an undercover agent in a rival company? I don't think so, Sloan's trump card is that she can sacrifice herself and save her mates for what she holds in her heart. This is also completely unexpected to the enemy and even everyone. That's why the lawyer's attitude changed greatly, because he never imagined that there would be someone in this world who could do such a thing, especially when he was regarded as an unscrupulous and hypocritical lobbyist.
When all her partners had a crisis of confidence in her, no one could understand the psychological pressure Sloan was under. When she chose to join the team, she was ready to sacrifice herself and use her five years in exchange for the team The victory, but it was only her own five years, so she couldn't tell anyone about her plan, otherwise she was not the only one who committed perjury.
Although she almost killed her colleague in the process, it was obviously not what she could have expected, and it can be seen from her attitude that she felt sorry for hurting others, but she never There is any hesitation in hurting herself, because in her heart, there is one thing that she chooses not to do. If she chooses, she must do it well and win. This is Sloan, the woman who takes her precious years and career as her trump card. .
"If Socrates didn't write, how would anyone know who he was", then people are born to strive for goals and ideals, even if it is sacrificed?
