Cummings created another genius character in this play - Dominic Cummings, who is wiser than ordinary people but calm and arrogant. If I, as a director, knew in advance the character of the protagonist that the show was trying to portray, I think I would also let Cum Fu play.
Those who keep a low profile and keep a low profile have no distracting thoughts.
In the two years of disappointment in life, Dom lived in seclusion on his father's small farm, doing work, reading, and thinking. Although he was not in his position, he still worried about the world, and stored knowledge for future political life. Always in overalls and sneakers, riding a bicycle, sometimes wearing a yellow vest, sometimes wearing a black vest, running low-key in London. His eyes are too sharp and his criticism is too thorough. He is called "sinister" by MP (Members of Parliament), but in the face of the Brexit war, only he is a staunch pioneer and fighter who always keeps a clear head. In his view, the only goal is to leave the European Union, and it has nothing to do with outsiders such as party alliances and parliamentary seats. On the background wall of the office, he painted all the thoughts related to Brexit, and then found the direction of the movement again and again. There is only the fire of Brexit in my heart, and the radiance radiates out, forcing the others back.
Those who are determined will fight in the world.
The most thrilling part I watched in the whole play was the confrontation between the six people. When things weren't all that bright, the four remaining members of the committee turned their attention to Dom, forcing him to abdicate. First of all, in a calm state, he first judged the premise that the opponent was not fully prepared, and then calmly exerted his strength, angrily rebuked the five opponents, and used the entire organization as a bargaining chip. Here is a small detail, Dom subconsciously rubbed his neck after sending the text, which shows that his behavior is likely to be a bluff. After consolidating his position, he began to convince the opponent of the plan. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he turned against the customer before the opponent's reason was clear, forced the chairman away, and regained a city. If Dom was a little more cowardly and moderate, then he might have accepted that, and then the Brexit cause was slowly going to collapse. Only those who dare to lose everything for their ideals can gain everything.
When the tired Dom got home, he collapsed on the bed, sighed "no one likes me", and his wife touched her head and said "I like you" - it was really warm. What Dom wants most at this moment is understanding.
Is Dom a winner? not necessarily. After the success of Brexit, he quietly left, hiding his merits and fame. Leading Brexit has not brought him political seats or huge fortunes, and he still needs to find a job in a company. At the same time, the name of the creator of history is like a sandprint in the wind, being gently erased. Did Dom spend his life on Brexit? not necessarily. As he pointed out when questioned by the Commission of Inquiry: The problems that exist now lie in the old politics, and he wants to call for the establishment of the new politics. After watching, I silently pay tribute to the idealistic politicians who practiced by example!
