Although the Oscar does not sell accounts, in my mind it is the best screenwriter and the best drama of last year. It is full of tension. The plot is reversed and reversed. Only at the last minute can I know the heroine's strategy. As far as the reversal of its plot is concerned, it is a match for Gu Long's novels.
From the beginning of the film, it shows its tension with its quick dialogue and various materials. Show the lobbyist industry through tension.
Lobbyists, there are also in Chinese history, during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, they were spoken by lobbyists. Powerful lobbyists used their three-inch tongue to make the monarch accept his ideas and realize his political ideals.
The female protagonist in this film is also a lobbyist, but she is not to achieve any political ideals, but purely professional needs. The company she works for accepts money from various politicians, wins public support for their political propositions and policies, and persuades members of Congress to support the bill. Different from the ancient times, today's lobbyist companies are highly specialized. They must be familiar with the law, have information about members of Congress and their family members, and they must also create topics to guide public opinion and even create fake public opinion to find people to demonstrate, and so on. In a word, in order to achieve the client's political goals, we must not scrutinize any means, but we must also protect ourselves and walk on the edge of the law.
The model worker is a leader in this industry. She believes in making unexpected moves, not letting competitors know their own strategies and trump cards, and at the same time, they must have insight into the opponent's strategy and peek into the opponent's hole cards. In order to be the top model worker, she keeps her energy by knocking on the medicine every day, giving up her family life, and finding a duck to get out of the fire if necessary.
One day, the company received an order. A political leader wanted to oppose the proposal to strengthen the supervision of firearms. The leader named the company's leading model worker to take the order, but the model worker refused. As a result, the company was fired, and the worker model sister took advantage of the trend to lead the team through the opponent's camp and tried every means to pass the bill.
As a result, the old company and the new company of the model worker fought each other and played happily on the lobbying battlefield. The specific process is not described in detail, please watch the movie. But through the process, it reflects the bottomless and unrestrained political lobbyists. For example, sending undercover agents, betraying colleagues, monitoring and surveillance, intimidating members of Congress and so on.
And because of the insight into the first opportunity, the model worker gradually grasped the advantage, and when it was about to succeed, the old subordinates of the old company found evidence that the model worker had bribed the senator before, and then initiated a congressional hearing against the model worker. Snake and strike seven inches, as long as the worker model sister's personal reputation is stigmatized, her team and camp will naturally collapse.
In the end, the worker model sister was jailed, but through her own means, she exposed the video of the old company threatening congressmen. The model worker lost her career and won the bill.
In the last ups and downs, how did the model worker reverse the situation and pull down the old company and hypocritical members of Congress? This is left to the audience to see for themselves.
If the movie only wins by the ups and downs of the plot, it is too low. A good movie must describe human nature. In this movie depicting the dark and sloppy political lobbyists, I saw the glory of human nature. For example, at the hearing, the model worker sister brought the duck out of the fire, which was sentimental and righteous, and did not testify against her. There is also the boss of the new company of the model worker who disagrees that the model worker uses illegal surveillance and hackers to gain advantages. Even if you make a living in a sordid environment, you must have a bottom line when you do things.
The excellent plot and the torture of humanity, in a slightly dull 2016, this film became the best of the year in my mind.
