From the very beginning of this miniseries, we have created a distinctive Adams, a strong principled Adams. At the beginning of the film, Adams, a lawyer, took up such a case. In a local riot, a group of British soldiers killed a civilian. At that time, people slammed the British devils and clamored to hang these soldiers. The public opinion is very similar to the early days of our recent Harbin "police killing a college student" incident. However, after learning about the situation, Adams did not "conform to public opinion" to defend the soldiers. He was aggressive and clear in court, gradually showing the truth of the matter to the observers, thus allowing the soldiers to obtain a verdict of not guilty. In this incident, we saw Adams who admitted to his death. As a lawyer, he cared about the individual case, and he cared about justice and truth. He hoped to solve the problem through the law and non-violent way. For this reason, he even made friends with his brothers. They are full of contradictions. Even when the British began to tax the New World more and more excessively, he faced the resistance of the "mob" in his eyes, and he was in a kind of repulsive psychology.
However, Adams' principle is still justice, so his thoughts are always changing. When the justice in his eyes has changed, there will always be a determination not to hit Nanshan and not look back. Therefore, when the contradiction between Britain and the New World gradually deepened, when the British soldiers began to murder his compatriots brutally, when the peace of his homeland was in jeopardy, he was angry at this injustice, for his principles, for his beliefs. We saw that at the Continental Congress, elites from all walks of life gathered together. Adams, who once rejected the violent and obvious moderation, became an extremely radical person. He insisted on breaking with Britain and fighting to the end, with the eloquence of his lawyers. To ruthlessly obliterate anyone's reconciliation fantasies. It was also at the Continental Congress that we also saw many American dads gradually appear on the stage. They have distinctive personalities. Washington is calm and restrained. Franklin is witty but old. Jefferson is quite refined. Hamilton is already aggressive. . The atmosphere of the Continental Congress was extremely fierce and tense, but what is valuable is that they have always adhered to the rules and the principles of democracy. Meeting after meeting has shown little effect and ended. However, in this apparently "low efficiency" process, they did interact with each other. The process of communication and compromise was the so-called quantitative change that led to qualitative change. Finally, they reached a consensus. The story later became known. The Declaration of Independence was released, and a country that has since played an important role in the international arena was born.
Adams has a strong sense of mission and responsibility. This can be seen from the series of events he fought for foreign aid before and after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. During this period, he showed a kind of hard work and a role to shoulder, and even took his own The child was also introduced to the track of serving the country early. In France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, he did everything possible to protect the interests of the United States. Compared with Franklin and others, he was a bit boring, but his integrity always won the admiration of many people and often became a lot of contradictions. One of the balances in it is also regarded by some as "fencers". At the same time, because of his stubborn character, his contradictions with others gradually exposed. Although he was successfully elected as the second president of the United States, in the process, faced with various constraints, he was obviously exhausted and many policies. Also under fire. What bothered him the most was the struggle with Hamilton. In the film, Hamilton was a very aggressive man with a strong desire to control, and the contradiction between Adams and him had reached the point of rupture, and Hamilton’s pamphlet that attacked him even more. Become the bomb that made Adams angry. And what makes Adams most sad is the contradiction with Jefferson. The two men in the film were quite speculative and sympathized in the early stage. Jefferson had an idealistic style, and Adams had a rational attitude. The two also showed some complementarity, but gradually Yes, political differences make them rivals. Later, Jefferson also defeated Adams and became the third president of the United States. In this mini-series, there are many descriptions of the friendship between Adams and Jefferson. The two were once friends, but political differences created a gap between them and the interests of the two parties. In front of us, such regrets reveal the cruelty of politics. Fortunately, after all, the two have a lot in common, and they still respect each other in my heart. So in the later stages of life, it was Jefferson that Adams wanted to talk the most, and even the two died on the same day. That day happened to be July 4th. Independence Day of the United States.
For the celebrity career, the family is the part that has to be mentioned. Adams is lucky. He has a wife who is both a wife and a partner. During Adams’s years of traveling all the year round, she took care of the farm and housework by herself, as well as educating her children. Even when Tianhua was rampant in the United States, she had to face it alone. This paragraph showed her perseverance. She bravely adopted the dangerous method of vaccinia at the time to immunize her child. It can be said that Mrs. Adams has been a virtuous but independent woman all her life. She often advises Adams, but does not involve much government affairs. When Adams is frustrated and troubled, she comforts and encourages her husband. The two have lived together for a whole life, and such feelings are touching. After Mrs. Adams' death, Adams' pain and decadence also brought out the importance of this love to him. Regarding Adams, it is a pity that he was away all year round and couldn’t get along well with his family, especially his children, who had not so close relationships. He was always more than strict and lacking in love, and even made his younger son feel good about him. Rage, of course, his education also comforted him, and his son John Quincy Adams became the sixth president of the United States.
Speaking of this film, I have to mention the actor of Adams, Paul Giamatti, who has left a deep impression on me in "A Life With Wine", "American Glory", and "Extreme Killing". Usually, we tend to put the heroes tall and mighty and heroic in biopics, but in this film, Paul, who often looks decayed, has a good interpretation of Adams’s life. He carries that light. Forehead, in terms of temperament, he really matches Adams. With this drama, he also won the Emmy Award for Best Actor in a TV Movie and Miniseries. I think he deserves his name.
Generally speaking, in the US election year, the awards of two political miniseries (reflecting the "Voting Disturbance" in the 2000 election in the United States won the best TV movie award) can also be regarded as highlighting the lively political atmosphere in the United States. From this "John Adams" we can see the belief and persistence of an American founder in law and fairness, which is a masterpiece that friends who are interested in such subjects should not miss.
