Haven't seen such a wonderful movie in a long time (I guess half a year). In the hypocritical words of film critics, it seems that someone soothed my heart and gave me a two-hour gluttonous feast.
Ms. Sloan, finally there is no "profound" analysis of the original family. We have seen such a person, such a complex, real and fragile person, that is a kind of charm full of life and despair. Such a despicable and selfish woman is brilliantly portrayed by Chastain. Her strength and beauty will always be admired. After all, we are just moviegoers, and we don't need to care too much about the laws and morals of the world on the screen.
The ending is undoubtedly unexpected and thought-provoking. Perhaps only one "liar from childhood to adulthood" could have set up such a sophisticated and sophisticated bureau. But the core of the story is sadness. What should you do when your life and work lose its meaning, constantly consuming you and tired you? It's a state that's been going on for decades, even your life, and how do you break it and rebuild it? I think Ms. Sloan will be desperate to face any campaign at this stage, and she is such a good lobbyist who believes in something more than her own abilities. She would destroy her career, save herself for the sake of victory, for the sake of faith.
But buried under all this hard and shiny is a battered soul (I actually don't quite understand why I'm drugged with Ms. Sloan? Make a fuss, isn't this the daily routine of most "American elites"). But so what? Ordinary is always overrated. Knowing the broken lives of those people doesn't actually make your life any better. How can being in the clouds and looking up at the top of the mountain be the same? I think we finally have to choose our own story, active or passive, and then from time to time envy others walking the road that we have never traveled, struggling in the mud, suffering and enjoying. I loved the deep look the two women gave each other at the end of the hearing, they both understood that they were not the same and that Ms. Sloan belonged to that beast...
PS: In fact, I think the things Ms. Sloan did are actually pretty good, and how clean can the other party be. The line of the pimp is really naive and heart-warming. The pace of this movie is perfect.
