I originally wanted to watch "The Game of Jasmine", but someone mentioned this "Ms. Sloan". When I remembered it, it seemed that I had added it to the list I wanted to watch, but I never watched it. I don't really like political films. Generally speaking, political films are too tiring to watch, with fast-paced jargon and too many characters and too many hints. But unexpectedly, this one is actually bright and clear, which shows that the script is solid and the director's shooting is neat. It tells the story of Ms. Sloan, a female lobbyist with a successful career but her own life is on the verge of collapse. She is ruthless, sharp, aggressive, and calculating. The price of her career success is a black and white life and insomnia. The company's new client pulled her into the camp against gun control policies, but she, who was always competitive, refused. The reason was unexpected but simple: because she felt the gun control policy was right. The company of the opposite camp pulled her in, she hesitated and was moved, and waited for a few subordinates to jump into the opposite camp. There were several consecutive matches in the middle, with winners and losers, during which Ms. Sloan's extraordinary insight and foresight were displayed: seizing the opportunity, eliminating traitors, and making overall arrangements. At the same time, it also revealed her usual ruthless iron hand and calculation. In order to win, the original company turned to Ms. Sloan and used her previous violations of entertaining MPs to prosecute, in order to destroy the credibility of Ms. Sloan's camp. The big reversal, which was finally named "Earthquake", was very shocking. Ms. Sloan used her far-sighted strategic means to lay out the net, and at her own expense, she defeated her opponent and regained the victory. It's a story about politics, at least it's contained within the veneer of politics. The screenwriter just wants to write a story about a lobbyist, so it would be too much to say that he intends to use a political shell to write about human nature. But Ms. Sloan is unique. Political stories in real life may be more bizarre than absurd, but not brilliant and elegant. In the play, Ms. Sloan's wrist is very neat and beautiful. Of course, this is the setting of the screenwriter, but it is still wonderful to see her calm and confident strategizing and taking every step of the way. Many people criticized this movie for whitewashing Bai Zuo. I don't know that screenwriters and directors have their own positions, but many opinions and ideas cannot be classified by left or right. Everyone's point of view has its own starting point, so there will be limitations if there is a position, and no one's opinions are correct. Everyone asked Ms. Sloan if she knew a shooting victim after she had chosen to embrace gun control, and she rolled her eyes every time: she just thought it was the right thing to do, and that was it. To believe what you believe in, and to fight for it, that's Ms. Sloan's motivation. Not just to win or claim. Not what she said in court bigger. That was the initial idea. Or a superficial idea. The real deep reason is the note given to her by Rodolfo, P Wyatt's boss, to recruit her. The note was finally pointed out by Ms. Sloan's former subordinate Jane: "A conviction lobbist CAN'T only believe in her ability to win." The whole film is neatly shot and well-structured. The beginning of the chapter steadily and excessively leads to the process of the formation of the antagonistic relationship between Ms. Sloan and the opponent. Although the cut is fast, the key words are still easy to grasp: gun control and opposition to gun control. The long pages that follow are a battle of wits between you and me on both sides. There are some slightly warm character interactions in the middle, such as her and the male publicist, and her and her female subordinate Esme. The live debate between Ms. Sloan and her opponent Pat started to climax, and then the pace was not so fast, slowed down, but powerful. After revealing the identity of the survivor of the Esme shooting and being rescued after Esme was attacked, Sloan began to stop winning all the time, and his feelings fluctuated. From the beginning, it has been a dual-timeline narration, and the process of the trial has been interspersed with the narration of the past timelines, and then until the final self-report. This part is the most wonderful twist. The highlight is not only Sloan's self-analysis and confession, but also the final reveal: how she signed the form with her own hands to leave a flaw, how she used Rodolfo's note to impress Jane and placed it in the enemy's camp, how she used herself as a bait to make the opponent map See you poor. The rhythm of the whole movie is very well grasped, the cutting is fast and not chaotic, and the details reflect each other, making the grass snake gray line a thousand miles away. All actors' performances are qualified. It is qualified, not divine. Many people say that Sister Worker's acting skills exploded, but in fact it was completely exaggerated. The screenwriter and director completely frame the actors, as long as they are qualified, it is enough. This story doesn't need such a supernatural performance, the script is good enough, and the editing is good enough. In general, it is a rare story that tells politics but is not boring. It is fascinating with excellent script, stable cuts and excellent performances by actors. Every second is wonderful.
