All the President's Men is my all-time favorite movie, and by far the best investigative journalism movie I've ever seen. Anyone who has watched it will definitely be interested in "Deep Throat" and cannot help searching for research after watching it, and now there is finally a biopic about him! This story, which has been hidden for many years, came so timely. It just happened that the former FBI director faced the same situation again this year. The relationship between the White House and the FBI once again became the focus, which made people sigh deeply when watching the film. History repeats itself, who will be next The "Bring Down the White House" guy? I firmly believe that there is definitely more than one this time, because Lao Chuanshu has many more enemies than Nixon, but in the end, if history really repeats itself, it must be an insider's whistleblower and encrypted media teaming up, the same model.
We have rarely had the opportunity to see movies about real FBI figures before, and the most impressive one may be Xiao Li's Hoover Biography. This time Mark Felt was Hoover's second-in-command and the main investigator of the Watergate incident, but because he was suppressed by the president and the newly appointed FBI director, he couldn't stick to his principles and chose to inform the media. The story in "The Team" can also be said to be the key figure that led to Nixon's resignation. In fact, people who have watched this film will know that there are reasons for his professional ethics and principles as an FBI, but there are also personal emotions. If the president makes many enemies and fires important people who have been faithful to their duties, especially if these people know his secrets, then sooner or later, he will be retaliated. For example, Sean Spicer, who was on the Emmys two days ago, if he decides to publish a book about Lao Chuan's secrets, Lao Chuan will be finished.
The film describes Mark Felt's multiple perspectives as a leader, as an FBI, as a subordinate, as a father, and as a husband. He is not perfect, and he is indeed scheming, but his choice is correct. Liam Neeson plays him charismatically, both as an agent and as a father, making him the perfect leading man in a Hollywood agent movie. A few lines in the opening paragraph frightened the White House staff to their knees, which is really deterrent.
Of course, many people will find it untrue. After all, this is a biography written by himself, and it is inevitable to say one-sided words. But as a curious and mysterious man in history, the story still makes sense. After watching this film, you will want to know more about him, as well as the era, the Watergate incident, and the game between more political situations. After all, real events are always better than fictional House of Cards.
I don’t know if we will have a chance to see a movie about Lao Chuan being ousted from office in the future. If there is, there must be a lot of weird and interesting characters in his movie, such as FBI Director Comey who was fired by him, and the man who was fired by him. White House spokesman Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, who was chosen to replace Spicer and then quickly fired, and countless others who have been fired and offended by him, you can imagine how exciting this play will be and who will play them. Suitable. The only thing that is certain is that no one is more suitable to play himself than Lao Chuan himself, just like in this film, Nixon is shown in a real TV image.
This film should be the best complement to "The President's Team" and will forever be an important part of American history.
