In fact, from the beginning of this story, it’s easy to guess the development in the middle: Politics itself is a transaction, it is a compromise, it is a compromise-but the word also means harm: Compromise will also cause harm to others, in this film , The female intern (a bit of Lewinsky's shadow) and Paul are both victims. They lost in the political bargaining, lost, withdrew, and even left.
Objectively speaking, Clooney's self-written, directed and acted work has reached a very high standard. Compared with his previous good luck, good night, this film has greater ambitions and a heavier theme.
Although we can't get involved in the political whirlpool, from such a film, we can still see the outline of politics: you must fight your opponents by any means during the election, and you must have the handle to protect yourself when you are counted. Almost all people are desperately looking for their own protective umbrella, even if such a protective umbrella itself is very dangerous. Those who attempted to "safeguard their lives" were the first to be defeated-even if you are outstanding, even if you are talented, it is a pity that this is the political arena, not the stage.
