The audio-visual level and playwriting level of the film "Brexit" are relatively average, but it does not hinder the meaning of content, it has the value of time-sensitive thinking, and it is likely to be worth watching many years later. The film is based on the secret story behind the success of the UK's exit from the European Union. A leader with a brilliant IQ wins the battle with the help of data, but a new order has not been established. Like "The Death of Stalin", another British film that discusses politics, "Brexit"'s portrayal of political figures is also funny and stupid. The suits and shoes are serious but reveal the characteristics of ordinary people in many details. The solemn and grand music and some scenes imitating "House of Cards" are really ironic. The reason why the film is so-so is that the information given is too direct, the so-called conflicts are continuous, and the in-depth characterization of the characters' psychology is ignored. Especially the protagonist, as someone who has been abandoned by political use many times, the shaping of his past background is completely in line with the expression of the film. And the effect shown now, the end of the movie's condemnation of politicians for changing their soup or not is very abrupt, because the previous shaping was more like giving a crazy person to challenge the government, and did not carefully pave the way for this layer of relationship. . The Brexit referendum presented in the movie is inevitably reminiscent of the US election during the viewing process. What they have in common is that the unexpected side won the victory, and the voters behind those victories are also the people at the bottom of the unsatisfactory life, and behind this victory, there are doubts about the manipulation of votes. At the end of the film, some information is also given. It is a coincidence that the shareholders behind the two data analysis companies that may have participated in the Brexit referendum are the main sponsors of the Trump campaign. Whether it is the so-called democracy in the Western context or the inevitable control of human life by technology, it is thought-provoking.
