The problem is that it's all as flashy as the hypocrisy of American political life that the film is meant to satirize. The overly plastic actresses, the symbolic politicians, the forced nudity scenes that seem to succumb to Game of Thrones, and the extreme lack of depiction of real life make this film lack all the irony of "House of Cards" The intention is to narrate the legend in a realistic way and tell the fairy tale in the way of a documentary. The description of Thrones isn't even as good as Game of Thrones.
Because of the empty life, there is no detailed description of the folk customs of the early 20th century in "Atlantic Empire", because of the empty life, there is no ironic expression of the characters' psychology and reality in "House of Cards", because of the empty life, there is no "Game of Thrones" plot. Ups and downs of character tension. This film is like a "csi" for politicians, but it is short about the parents of politicians and incorporates some journalist threats from British political conspiracy dramas.
In fact, in terms of character construction since the beginning, the film has some good beginnings, such as the boss's physical condition, the impending collapse of a tyrant, and the fear of the future that he will secretly search for his abandoned daughter, but every episode has The fear of tyrants is not investigated in depth, which is exactly what "Game of Thrones" does. From these perspectives, this film is not as real as fantasy films, which is why the latter is popular all over the world. Kitty is a girl who chooses promiscuity because of her moral confusion. It can also be deeply digged. Her suffering is clear. She has swept away her own characteristics as a woman. This point has been raised as the mayor's wife, for the mayor's In the future, they cut off their relationship with their daughter, and for this reason, the wife gave up her motherhood. How do women find their place in patriarchal cities? This is very deeply described in "Empire of the Atlantic", which is still lacking in this film. All good questions are asked, but instead of getting more answers, they deepen over and over again what the audience already knows—political intrigues, journalists digging deep, mafia-like controls, environmental pollution making itself a professional drama. Sometimes, I even think this film is trying to learn "The Sopranos".
Lack of novelty, lack of authenticity, patchwork. The male protagonist is the only actor who has a performance. The director can say that he has used all kinds of methods to cover up the lack of the actor's performance. There are a lot of close-ups of expressions, and only eye shots are taken many times. Every actor seems to be deducted from a billboard. From this point of view, perhaps the story of making this film is much more than the story described in this film.
