"I must not lose my resolve. I will march forward, even if I have to do so alone.
I first learned of this drama in 2015 and entered the "House of Cards" series on the recommendation of my university roommates. At that time, I didn't know much about the American politics in the plot and the laws, history, policies... and other details behind it (and my English proficiency was very limited). With the explanation at the end of the film, I was lonely. Therefore, this review will not feel like a "second brush". Fortunately, I have gained a better understanding of the United States through media, books and other materials over the years, so I have a more thorough understanding. In short, American political dramas seem to be twelve blocks taller than domestically produced political dramas. At least they are filming more real, bolder and more "internal" instead of "fake big sky" slogans, chicken-blooded dialogue, and bluntness. Placement of ads.
There is no doubt that the first actor "Xiamu" in the series must be an out-and-out villain, bastard, villain, conspirator, and despicable villain... Anyway, he is not a "gentleman". This is different from the "public servants" of many "weiguangzheng" in domestic political dramas, and this difference can show that the American dramas are more real. After all, it seems impossible for politician/good man to exist on the same individual at the same time, and this is also not truely reflected in a certain country; but these things are real (otherwise the anti-corruption documentary film came from so much material?), no It depends on whether the work is publicized or not.
Shimogi has always been cheeky at the end of the play, as always, face to face with one set behind the other. Of course, there is no need to pretend to be in front of Remy. They are all the same. I asked myself more than once-if Task/Walker gave Shimogi the post of Secretary of State, wouldn't Shimogi be so unscrupulous? It doesn't seem to have much impact, it's just a matter of day in and day out. In Shimomu's eyes, power is the wealth that never fades, and the position of a secretary of state cannot satisfy this careerist. Sooner or later, he will target the president, but he shouldn't be so anxious. Of course, all kinds of despicable means will not affect the charm of the character itself, which is also attributed to the wonderful interpretation of Oscar actor Kevin Spacey. Before watching this show (2015), I hadn't seen any works starring him, and it was this series that made me his fan (don't talk about the scandal, just talk about film and television works). In the whole show, Spacey’s suit and neat look is really charming; he can sometimes speak passionately, strategize in the office, tinker with the rowing machine in the basement, play games on TV...Anyway, except for the firefighters in the fire. , The athletes on the sports field, the most handsome man is nothing more than that. Of course, Shimomu has been unswerving in the pursuit of power, and this is also inseparable from his "good help"-Claire.
Saying "good help" is not to belittle or downplay Claire's role and status, but Claire did give up a lot for her husband in this season, and Shimoki always uses "our career" as a reason to ignore Claire's appeal. Of course Shimogi and Claire are also a pair of soulmates, but when facing conflicts between their careers, Shimogi blindly asks Claire to give in. In other words, I will also take the opportunity to lay down together. After all, we know each other, and you can’t. Be sure to call it like everyone else (the person who obeys his words). Therefore, I don't think it is neglecting the female role. The contradiction is there. Both have their own calculations. It is inevitable that there will be bumps. Besides, Claire does not lack the wisdom, courage, and means to fight back.
Compared with Claire, who is in deep water, Zoe seems to have no X count in his heart (this is confirmed in the first episode of the second season).
She used sex to bribe off the woods, feeling that after her wings were hardened, she hoped to make her own rank achieve a qualitative leap. She lacked knowledge of her true strength, and being able to persist for a season is already the director's face. Zoe's tragedy tells the audience-don't have enough foundation, don't be confused with politicians, by then you won't even know that you are a missing person (the same goes for Peter Russell). In addition to these two "bento characters", the one I admire the most is probably Stamp. The staff in this mobile phone address book really use actions to explain what is meant by "loyalty! Honest!" He has no complaints for Xiamu , What makes me admire even more is that he can still persist in abstinence for so many days. This is really the behavior and perseverance of a warrior. Instead, I was expelled because of alcoholism, so I can live with peace of mind. All of the above, TAs are more or less fearful or persuaded from Yu Xiamu, but Freddy, the "taste-in-charge" in the previous two seasons, is a person who has always been scornful of everything; although his life is not rich, he has to He relied on overcharging Shimogi’s meals to maintain his business, but he never lowered his posture in front of Shimogi from beginning to end—he exploded in front of Shimogi and never called him Mr... The straightforward guys who "look forward" will also respect from the heart, and there is no conflict of interest between the two of them. This is probably one of the reasons why Freddy can stay in the special zone (but also follow the second season. Guaruoer). All of the above tell us-cherish life and stay away from the (government) wood (guest).
"I have no patience for useless things", this sentence has been spurring me and reminding me. After watching this season, I found that if I only think of this drama as a political drama, it's a bit narrow. These are more workplace dramas and social dramas. Where there are people, these things are indispensable. Taking "drama" as a mirror, pay more attention to it.
PS·I will praise my partner so much in the future!
