film "All the Way to the End", as a personal biopic of the successive US presidents Lyndon Johnson, has a perfect analysis and presentation of history. The film is rooted in history, and its characters and plots are just right to fit it, and the restoration and expression of political struggles are the most proud of the film. As an Emmy Award nominee, the film, aside from its intentional performance, is generally based on a sense of reverence for history, and it has made this work with sincerity in the past.

As far as the film is concerned, the highly restored history is something that cannot be denied, but too much emphasis on reality makes the atmosphere of the film's plot uncontrollable, dull and depressing, and cannot form a strong emotional interaction with the audience. A long flowing river is only the dry riverbed due to unstoppable soil erosion. The success of a biographical film lies in whether the director has a superb adjustment method to the overall atmosphere of the work, rather than blindly seeking only the story and losing the artistic sense of the film.

The success of character creation, coupled with Bryan Cranston's superb acting skills, makes the image of the president vivid, whether it is his political charm, or his style and way of doing things, the delicate presentation and expression of these details, It has to be said that in such a dull atmosphere, it added a lot of bright spots to the film.

Rooted in the root, the movie "All the Way to the End" can be said to be a successful work. In addition to the maddening atmosphere of the audience, the real storyline and the superb performance of the actors are all praised by the audience. As a Broadway The adaptation of the stage play, combined with Bryan Cranston's second-time presidential dream, makes the film ultimately a rare biographical film.

  • Lyndon B. Johnson: Clausewitz said "Politics is war by other means."... Bullshit. Politics is War... Period. You know how you win a campaign, by not losing it. I only lost one election my whole life. The son of a bitch stole it from me in the final seconds with a handful of fake votes, I will carry the pain of that with me to my dying day. But I'll tell you what, nobody will ever do me that way again, It'll be some other way.
