LBJ
3/24/2018 I
didn't know about Lyndon B Johnson before watching the movie. In this way, the Underwood character in House of Cards was born out of him and came from a commoner. Doing the party whip, enlightenment, and power, or straight to the point, or knocking on the sidelines, manipulating the votes, power is very arrogant. The wife is not waiting. Become a VP, and eventually become president.
Kennedy didn't get into his eyes so much. The Yankee, Harvard, the niche, idealistic, couldn't play the game of power. Reluctantly, he knows that JFK has a good image and temperament, and the affirmative ideology that he advocates is also the trend of the times. Later, we can see that he gradually showed some sincere respect to JFK.
You can see that politicians are sleek and fickle, good at calculating, good at wooing, and fostering forces (helping female judges in their own state). They are really talented. Dick, the representative of the Democratic Southern conservative forces, is also an old fritters, but he is almost too straightforward and tender compared to LBJ. Poor people who refuse to change are also destined to be crushed by the rolling wheels of history. LBJ has been sensitively aware that he and his fans have not realized yet, and naively think that LBJ's superiors represent good old times. return.
Take advantage of the trend, that's all. Maybe LBJ also has some human awakening. The words about his black female chef's experience are also sincere in empathy, but the most important thing is the rational judgment of a politician. In his position to seek political affairs, such an opportunity to leave the legacy, he is not so stupid to be a historical criminal who steals the fruits of the revolution in the opposite direction.
Learn a bit of history by watching movies. The story is relatively simple, and the lead role is pretty good.
