Politics is F**K and S**T

Companies often say “Keep me in the loop” during meetings, which generally refers to the process of the project. Even if you don’t participate in the project, you have to be informed of every detail. I never know how to translate it well. The film was translated into "Lingtong People", this Chinese translation is very appropriate and professional.
From the beginning of the film, the camera was constantly shaking to create the illusion of a documentary, and the more I watched it, the more people believed that this was the story before the United States and Britain hit Iraq in 2003.
The self-deprecation of the British is one of the best in the world. The "Yes, minister" (Yes, minister) many years ago made me laugh at the British self-deprecating and admiring it. There is absolutely no second country in the world that can use its own government to smash it like this. Compared with British political movies, American movies are full of food. . . . .
At the beginning of the movie, I couldn't bear the constant "F**K". Almost every sentence would have this dirty word. Without this word, I couldn't make a complete sentence. God, where is the British gentlemanly demeanor? ?
But after listening carefully, you will find that although every sentence has "F**K", the use of this dirty word is completely different. For the first time, I discovered that English cursing can be so profound and profound. I learned it in vain. After many years of English, I just realized that the art of cursing others has such profound accomplishments.
Then, you can feel the mental retardation and mental disability of politicians. Unlike the high-ranking presidential officials in mainstream American movies, the British politicians are a bunch of male thieves and female prostitutes, trivial and paranoid, and even ignorant.
This group of guys used various means to get the UN to pass Resolution 3328, sending a large number of good men to the battlefield of other countries.
God, I really feel sad for the soldiers. Did they realize that the reason they entered the war was not because of justice, or that the gang of politicians tried their best to fabricate lies, and finally ruined so much money and lives in a muddle-headed manner. . . . .
I like the detail about China in the film. The President of the United States exempted China from taxes on certain products because China abstained from voting in the United Nations (seems like everyone knows that China will not vote for it?)
The background of the whole movie is Downing Street and the White House, and the actors also speak very standard American English and British English. In contrast, the British accent is so nice, how noble it is to listen to it, and the Americans really have no taste in speaking. Haha. . . .

In the Loop quotes

  • Simon Foster: So, this is all going to spin along from here. We're going to have a vote and go to war. We'll fight people, kill them. Our children will get killed. This is exactly the sort of thing that I didn't want to do when I went into politics. This is the opposite of what I wanted to be doing.

    Malcolm Tucker: That's why you have to stay in Government, to influence things. In here, you can influence things, you can delay things. Out there, you're just another fucking mouthy, fucking shouty mad fucker who people don't want to make eye contact with. Remember Mary? Remember what happened? She took a stand on health. Everybody decided that she was mental.

    Simon Foster: Because The Sun showed a picture of her with wide eyes and her head on a cow.

    Malcolm Tucker: Well I happened to find that a particularly powerful image. Look, the Prime Minister of this country, he's not a fucking Viking, is he? He doesn't drink blood. He doesn't go around biting tramps.

    Simon Foster: I know the Prime Minister isn't a Viking, Malcolm.

    Malcolm Tucker: Unlike me, he abhors physical violence.

    Simon Foster: Where is the intelligence, the hard evidence?

    Malcolm Tucker: We have got the fucking intelligence.

    Simon Foster: I haven't seen it.

    Malcolm Tucker: The intelligence we've got is so deep, so fucking hard, it'll fucking puncture your kidneys.

    Simon Foster: Where's it coming from?

    Malcolm Tucker: There is an informant. Ice Man.

    Simon Foster: Ice Man?

    Malcolm Tucker: I don't name them. Ice Man. Yeah. And the fact is, the stuff that he's given us is... I've seen it. It would make your blood run cold and clot and turn your insides into fucking black puddings. But certain box lickers are sitting on it, but you're going to see it, because the PM regards you as a key player in this now.

  • Simon Foster: In the motorcade, can we get a car without Judy, please?

    Toby Wright: You want hookers? You like hooky fucky, sir?
