Morris (George Clooney), one of the candidates

The second person on the campaign team, Stephen (Ryan Gosling), is young and promising

At this time, he was poached by Tom Duffy (Paul Giamatti), the head of another candidate's campaign team.

But Stephen treats Paul as a friend and has no doubts about Morris ruling.

So he didn't move

On the other hand, Stephen is deeply attracted by the new intern Molly (Evan Rachel Wood)

The two quickly fought

So unexpectedly learned about a scandal that will affect the whole situation

Unexpectedly, the Times reporter Ada (Marisa Tomei) learned of Stephen's meeting with Tom.

Use this to coerce Stephen to reveal the inside story of the political election

A battered Stephen is at risk of ruining his political career

Never make mistakes or never get caught

One of the leaders of Stephen's presidential candidate team is young but experienced. He judges the situation and knows how to get more votes.

However, being young also brings an unavoidable problem of having more ambitions and aspirations for careers

So when Bolman's campaign found him he hesitated..

he went to see tom

He said it was curiosity, but it wasn't his ambition and pride, although it wasn't a sign of infidelity, and he told Paul afterward.

But in a political world that values ​​loyalty above all else

He really lost the most precious thing

Not to mention your boss is a suspicious person

He's good but not good enough to be poached so desperately

So Paul fired him to give him a legitimate reason to leave Stephen. He didn't make a mistake. He just made a choice. When he chose to meet a gamer

Stephen was caught and kicked out for not being loyal enough

Or if you make a mistake, have the ability to fix it

Then the plot twists Stephen's grip on the presidential candidate Morris. Morris has an incoherent relationship with an intern on his team. A fatal mistake that could ruin his entire political career. Can Morris take the risk? obviously not

So Stephen, who was in a desperate situation, had a second chance, so it's not terrible to make mistakes. As long as you have the ability to turn the situation around, from 99:1 to 1:99, you also successfully kicked out your former friend and boss from the entire team.

maybe in politics

Are there really no eternal friends?

Or is there no 5 year foundation like in /

no trusted partner

Of course, not only Morris but also Molly, a fledgling intern who made mistakes in the whole thing, chose to devote herself to politics because of her love for her. Unfortunately, her psychological quality was poor and her ability to solve problems was insufficient. Morris chose to commit suicide because she could not bear the pressure.

Molly and Stephen compare the two of them face the mistakes are very different practice no matter what situation you are forced to think of ways to remedy is always the best policy

If you really screw up, it's better to quit as soon as possible

There is always a pusher behind the scenes

Every president has a team behind the scenes. They control the overall situation, and some of the glory belongs to them. They treat politics not so purely for the sake of victory, for the people's livelihood, or for their own cause.

Politics is a game. Who can say the final result? We'll see
