In a small city in the southwestern United States, politicians knew Willie was impossible, but asked him to run for governor. In a campaign speech, Willie discarded the speech draft prepared for him by politicians and talked about a lot of content that the people would like to hear. Although the politicians opposed and wanted to stop him, they were bombarded by the people; instead, Willie's momentum grew more and more. Great, and finally became governor. After Willie became governor, he built roads, reservoirs, schools, and hospitals, and he did a lot of things that he promised the people during the election campaign. The opposition was able to hold him. One was that his adopted son was drunk and drove and injured his wife to death. Later, the girl's father disappeared and the body was found to be beaten to death. The second is that the chief prosecutor appointed by Willie resigned, and he committed suicide after being questioned by Willie. On the spot when the "Willie negligence case" was rejected by the parliament, the son of the chief attorney general who had accepted Willie's appointment as the director of the new hospital shot and shot. Die Willy. The film does not explain all these events in the end, and does not give a clear picture. It seems to say to the viewer: This is American society, this is American democracy.

    Never worship living people, especially politicians.

    It feels like it should be a good movie, but I was so sleepy when I watched it...I have to watch it again if I have a chance. It may be that I have watched too much of the world film history recently, and I am a little tired and need to rest.

All the King's Men quotes

  • Willie Stark: You wanna know what my platform is? Here it is. I'm gonna soak the fat boys and spread it out thin.

  • Judge Monte Stanton: Pillsbury is guilty. As Attorney General of this state, it's my job to prosecute.

    Willie Stark: Judge, you talk like Pillsbury was human. He isn't. He's a thing. You don't prosecute an adding machine if a spring goes busted and makes a mistake. You fix it. Well, I fixed him.
