Sean Penn played a politician in the image of a gangster

I really bought this film because of the huge cast. Because last year's film did not attract widespread attention, it fully shows that its plot must be average, so there is no high expectation at all. It is said that the lower the expectation, the lower the disappointment. There are the following insights: First, Sean Penn played a politician in the image of a gangster. For Sean Penn, I personally have no particular love or dislike, but in this film, his interpretation of the Governor seems to me insufficient in connotation and more than a show. I don't know how the original work created this image. Second, the narrative of the entire film from Jude Law's perspective is not convincing enough, because he has become a dog under Sean Penn for a long time. But I still like Jude very much. With Tony Leung's shadow, it's no wonder that I would go to the blueberry night. Third, I don’t think Kate Winsletken plays such a small role. I don’t think it’s worth it. It’s so pitiful but not brilliant. I don’t know what she thinks. Finally, the plot is really procrastinated and scattered, and there is no main thread running through it. In the middle, I did something else when I couldn't stand it, and I didn't feel like I couldn't connect when I came back for more than ten minutes. Finally, if possible, I would like to see the original novel, or the 1949 version of the movie.

    Why do I think Sean Penn is like a politician. The history of the degeneration of the hillbilly politician is not very popular, not as exciting as imagined.

    I don't like Sean Penn so much! ! ! ! One more star for Jude Law!
