Wasted...

Political significance is greater than other.

The shooting technique is not detailed enough, the rhythm is fast and there are few fluctuations. All the narrative effects are evenly spread out.

As for the political significance, it is about the influence of the system on people, and the so-called "inferior nature of the system" is obvious... Generally speaking, it is still too American, simple and crude, not to say that there are no bright spots inside (in fact, there are many bright spots. ), it's just that they are all mediocre as points and lines. In fact, only one or two points are enough to make a fuss. This is probably a chronic disease of American grand narrative. In fact, there are many good themes in Hollywood history, but for various and different reasons, they have been wasted.



Secondly, the theme is too lenient. Institutional issues, moral and social issues, and love are all in one pot, so the theme is not clear enough. Never.

    This kind of movie can get the best picture at the Oscars. It can only be said that there may not be a good movie in that year, or it may be a dark horse that ran out. In fact, the film failed a lot. First of all, there is a big problem with casting. Why did the governor choose such a role? In my opinion, there is no charm at all. It can actually seduce and wonder how many beauties. ? You should choose someone who is handsome, mature and a little darker. On the contrary, this male protagonist who is a reporter is quite suitable to play the governor. Although he is not so handsome, he looks like a very clever person, like a politician. Secondly, even in the 1950s, it wasn't so low, right when he became the governor, he was corrupt and falsified. Are voters so easy to deceive? So supportive of the governor? Could it be that the theme of this film is to express that to become a successful politician in the United States, it is necessary to betray one's family, because Willim satirized so much a politician before he became governor, and he was even worse after he became a governor. But in the end, these politicians still confirmed the old saying: come out and mess, sooner or later you have to pay back. So at the end of the movie the governor was shot and killed
