Worth seeing

First of all, because I have always liked Sean Penn’s acting skills, I started watching this film. Then I discovered that the king's team was very strong and everyone was brilliant. The governor played by Sean Penn is passionate every time he speaks. It is different from the positive and passionate heroism of general heroism, but is equally provocative, making people tearful, but more recognizable. The way of acting is crazy and cute.

The second is that the director is powerful. I like this way of narration, with both positive and negative, interspersed with personal experiences and lingering scenes that recur. Especially the fusion of the two strands of blood at the end is shocking! In the last 10 minutes of the film, I almost watched it in a motionless position, and watched the black CAST pass by silently.

Third, the lines are completely worthy of serious taste, deep and sharp.

All of this shows that this film will definitely be a classic.

All the King's Men quotes

  • Willie Stark: Time brings all things to light, I trust it so.

  • Jack Burden: The friend of your youth is the only friend you'll ever have. For he doesn't really see you. He sees in his mind a face which doesn't exist anymore, speaks a name... Spike, Bud, Red, Rusty... Jack... that belongs to that now nonexistent face. He's still the young idealist you used to be, still sees good and bad in black and white and men as sinners or saints but never both and feels superior in the knowledge that you no longer can distinguish the two. That's what drives you to it. To try to stick the knife in. There is a kind of snobbery in failure like the twist to the mouth of a drunk.
