When I saw the list of Oscar winners today, I once thought that Uncle Bell was the best actor. Maybe the final result is because the judges brought a heavy fan filter, or to emphasize the so-called political correctness.
Indeed, "Vice" is too politically charged, with a two-hour-long account of former Vice President Dick Cheney's political career and complementary family life. Dreaming of embarking on a career path, and meeting a gay daughter, even in the American society where speech and emotion are free, there is still a need for trade-offs. This time, Cheney chose a daughter. But then Bush Jr.'s warm invitation made him come back and even became the most powerful vice president in the United States.
The plot is so simple that it can actually be completed in one and a half hours, and it stretches into more than two hours, but will you feel bored? In fact, it's okay, because Uncle Bell's acting skills are really awesome. You can find his photos on Baidu Encyclopedia, and you know how handsome he is on weekdays, but for this drama, in order to be more like Cheney, he gained 40 pounds, almost exactly the same as himself. At the same time, as mentioned in the recommendation I saw before, Bell held his breath in the play. From the way of speaking, walking posture, and behavior, he vividly showed the aura of this careerist. To the people of Arab countries, and even the American people, he is a war fighter and a sinner of history, but to his family and the president he assisted, he is a good husband, good father, and good staff. You can say he is aggressive, but you can never say he is serious and hardworking. He lives for the Cheney family, he lives for the President of the United States, he lives for the United States of America. All in all, Peace of love.
Remember this actor is Christian Bale, Oscar owes him a statuette, don't let him mess with his body again. This is the true sense of "the drama is bigger than the sky", those who fuck people can get out of the way.
