In this film, although the story is dark and heavy, the atmosphere is calm. Those who hope to vent their resentment after seeing Bush's tragic death in this film will find some satisfaction, protesting the turbulent crowds, from burning the flag to attacking the convoy, and finally killing Bush, people's hatred is released. But perhaps a little surprisingly, they also saw a humorous, loyal, and friendly president. He ignored the warnings of the security personnel and insisted on meeting with the citizens expecting him, doing his best to "talk to everyone" and do his best. He can express a humorous and active atmosphere. It should be said that Xiao Bush’s performance in this film is impeccable. He shows a president: He just wants to do his job, but his ability is limited; he wants to change the environment, but he can’t. Control your own destiny.
The film imitates a documentary, interviewing various people related to the incident, the death of a president, I think this translation is more vivid, and different people express different feelings for the death of a president. The bodyguard recalled the incident on the day and wept for his failure to protect the president. The president's speech writer portrayed an approachable president from his own standpoint. The anti-war protesters, the innocent people involved in this turmoil, and their family members reflect the deep-seated contradictions in American society from some aspects.
Everyone seems to be innocent. They were innocent in the assassination, but they are actually closely related to the incident. Whether it is a veteran of the Gulf War, or a Republican vice president, whether it is a radical anti-war activist, or a defense lawyer who is helpless. They all seem to be operating according to their own logic, their faces are all written innocent, and they all have troubles. They all seem to be saying: What can I do? Why should I endure this? Looking into their eyes, I sympathize with them deeply, but the tragedy has already happened, and it continues to happen every day. Who is to blame for this, is it all BUSH?
War is not caused by BUSH alone. Terrorism is the fruit of hatred, and terrorism continues to water hatred, hatred brings pain, and pain breeds hatred. This may be the lingering curse of the whole mankind.
With the sound of the New Year’s bell, in the real world, a former president dies, some celebrate, and some feel sad. Before his death, the president said: Don't resent, resentment makes people lose justice. But what no one doubts is that his death cannot extinguish the hatred, and his country will continue to shed blood.
