At the beginning of the movie, a young and beautiful intern appeared carrying two layers of paper boxes full of coffee, and came to a set of long shots at the campaign headquarters, which seemed to me superfluous at the time. Because I always thought this movie was about the political story of the governor played by George Clooney and his campaign assistant (Ryan Gosling) and his opponents intrigue.
However, with the deepening of the plot, we learned that this movie has a great relationship with the beautiful intern, and the relationship between the two men and the beautiful intern was also revealed and reversed the plot, the relationship and relationship between the characters It becomes complicated.
Since the sex scandal between Clinton and interns, it seems that beautiful interns have become the spice of political films. As this movie puts it through the mouth of campaign assistant Ryan Gosling: "You can bankrupt a nation, you can start unnecessary wars, but you can't sleep an intern!" (you can bankrupt a nation, you can start unnecessary wars, but you don't fuck the intern), this sentence absolutely sums up the fundamental difference between the two presidents of Clinton and Bush. Bush bankrupted the United States and launched a war that hurt both sides. However, because he did not have a sleeping intern, he became a president recognized by American politics and people. On the contrary, Clinton's eight years in office made the United States become the most financially wealthy country. Not only was there no deficit, but the treasury still had a surplus, but unfortunately his belt was not tight enough, making him politically honourable and ruined and became the most embarrassing president of the United States. This sentence also somewhat sums up the classics of American politics. A president as long as he doesn't sleep with an intern is a good president, and vice versa.
In this movie, because the governor, the elected president, accidentally followed in Clinton's footsteps, the governor’s campaign assistant (Ryan Gosling, Ryan Gosling) who was originally used in a political game of fighting secretly with the opposing campaign assistant and lost his post ) Got a comeback opportunity to stand up. In the end, he got the post of campaign director of the presidential candidate for the highest post in his political life, and the governor was also nominated by a candidate for the president of the United States and was able to run for president. However, the beautiful intern who fell asleep by both men because of his innocence and believed in power men fell asleep and became the biggest victim of the political power struggle.
Politics and beauty have always been the biggest temptation and weakness of politicians in the United States. However, in the political elections, they are embellished with the boring and depressing highlights of speeches and elections. Those beauty who are desperate for political ideals or their own value intern Students, and their fate is definitely not as beautiful as their beauty, especially for those beautiful interns who have crossed the bottom line of power and sex between men and women. Just as the beauty intern Molly in this film made me most sigh, a young and flowery life was buried in the darkness of political elections, buried in the mutual benefit of two men, not mentioned, nor People care. Without Molly, there would be no position that these two men finally achieved, and there would be no source of this movie. However, this only twenty-year-old girl, a woman who has not experienced even the most brilliant years of her life, has silently become a victim of men and politicians, can not let people, especially women, sigh with emotion!
At the end of the movie, another beautiful young woman internship comes with a box full of coffee, like Molly's rebirth, walking among intriguing politicians, becoming a bright color between men in suits and leather shoes. , And how long can this flower bloom in the cruel struggle between political power and interests?
In the society we live in today, whether in the United States or China, politics is the privilege of men, and women are the playthings of privileged men. In this sense, what George Clooney, as the director, wants to say, is no longer such a simple thing as politics, and for this reason, I am full of respect for his profound respect. This film reflects the reality of society through politics, the cruelty of power, the ambition and desire of mutual sacrifice, the temptation of women in important positions, the derailment and self-ideal of marriage, the self-worth of men. sacrifice.
This is a society filled with invisible smoke, a world full of sadness, as if a gloomy life is not more beautiful because of the blooming of bright flowers. And in this world where life appears to be short because of the passing of time, and life is stifled by the gloom of human nature, which makes people almost desperate, if the value of women is not reflected by the brilliance of men, it is because of the brilliance of men. destroy!
Another unforgettable thing about this movie is that the actors who play the two men are so full of charm and handsome, and they control the development of the whole situation and the brilliance of the whole movie in a calm manner. Especially Ryan Gosling, as if he was born for the movie, speaks to the extreme in his acting skills in a calm and silent state, and exerts his aura to the extreme in the silence and silence, which is breathtaking! If, lost in the hands of these two men, the woman who became their victim may have no regrets in this life. Therefore, I am afraid it is the director's silent throw of today's cold society, willing to help such a man with power and appearance. I am afraid that there are countless women who have sacrificed, but I don't even know it! Thinking of this, I can't help but feel gloomy.
Note: The English title Ides of March means mid-March. Ides comes from Latin. According to the Roman day, Ides means the day in the middle of the month. In modern English, Ides of March usually refers to the day when the Roman Emperor Caesar was assassinated by 60 members of his council in 44 AD. The famous quote from Shakespeare’s famous comedy Julia Caesar: Beware the Ides of March has become a classic of English literature. It now appears that the movie is named after this name, which is very meaningful. It's definitely not as simple as the Chinese translation of the movie "President Killing Day" or "Elections." In this movie, the ideals and courage full of politics died because of the means of political games, the innocence of idealism died, and the girls who were full of fantasies about society and men died, and these deaths were full of betrayal. And use it, just like the betrayal and assassination of him by the Caesar Council in 44 AD! Nowadays, in this society, what is left besides death if there is no betrayal?
