Public opinion is in the hands of people who know how to manipulate public opinion

This is a film that looks relaxed and humorous. This is a film with a little bit of political satire in the humor.
The film is actually a series of tricky incidents instigated by the president's special advisers. The film sharply reveals the ugly relationship between politicians, the media and Hollywood in American political life. At the same time, it also makes a dramatic and ingenious satire on the White House.
The name of the film is "wagthedog", with the tail wagging the dog. Maybe you have such a question, why does the film have such a name? There is a passage in the film: Why does the dog wag its tail? Because dogs are smarter than tails. If the tail is smarter, he can wag the dog.
In fact, the president is like a dog raised by a taxpayer citizen, and the public relations team behind him that he relies on is his own tail.
Smart presidential writers grasped the handle of public opinion at a critical moment, manipulated the mass media, and only produced a short film with Hollywood producers, which reversed the president's defeat. It can be said that the president’s public relations group writes "symbols" for their actions in front of the public. If it is the president's charisma that brought these elites together to make "symbols" possible, then it is their wisdom that makes perfect The "symbol" protects the president from wind and rain.
Public opinion is in the hands of people who know how to manipulate public opinion. The more it spreads to the masses, the less important the truth is, because people are more willing to believe in explanations that suit their ability to understand. The shadow theory of communication says this: What we see is only the shadow of facts. How similar this shadow is to the object it produces depends on the light. Public opinion is in the hands of whoever holds the light. This theory incisively reveals the dialectical relationship between audience, public opinion information, and communicator.
In this film, the real helm of the ocean of public opinion is the presidential writer. In his opinion, no matter whether it is windy or waved, just make a bigger wave to submerge it. In this way, the president’s wave of scandals was swallowed up by wars and other big waves.

    Every time I see a film review of this kind of film that reflects the dark side of democracy, there is something like "Look, although China's is not good, but American democracy is also bad." I can't help but want to scold them sab. The ability to have such a film released is a testament to the excellence of democracy! Those who think democracy is a panacea, please face the wall. The Internationale says that there has never been a savior. In fact, it means that there is no panacea.

    It’s so awesome. Let’s look at the election of the United States and the greedy Lao Mei directly tells us that the election is also a bullshit. This world’s god horse is the real war hero. Everything can rely on two mouths in the media to make people out of thin air but just a dog. The tail is wagging arbitrarily. In fact, I think that old shoe is a bit like Lei Feng. . .
