Dick Cheney, the most powerful vice president in U.S. history, is the model for current U.S. Vice President Mike Pence. During Bush's eight years in office, on the surface, Cheney was the No. 2 figure in the United States, but in fact many decisions of President George W. Bush, including the war in Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq, were determined by him.

Cheney himself is a contentious paradox. He has always been a conservative, having worked for the administrations of Nixon, Ford, and Bush Sr., then worked as CEO of Haliburton Corporation for a few years, and then entered the White House with Bush Jr.; but he supported gay marriage. attitude because his daughter is a lesbian. In addition, Cheney delayed five times and did not want to go to the Vietnam War battlefield, but he was an out-and-out war hawk. Adam McKay said: "I always thought Cheney was an interesting character and wanted to find out what was driving him and what he believed in. So we did a deep dive and the results were astounding. Called the most powerful political figure in modern American history, he has largely shaped the international standing of the United States today, and the approach he has taken to grab power is astounding."

In part, the film is based on The Big Short, with director Adam McKay laying out Dick Cheney's life and laying out the stages of the legendary vice president's life. The next node, finally breaking the fourth wall, arranges a biggest driving force: everything I do is to me, to protect my family.

Multi-angle montage editing, the game of political power is analogous to river fishing. In fact, fish and people are nothing more than interests at both ends, the fishing rod symbolizes power, and the left and right inch is a game.

Christian Bale's performance is extremely vivid, the old drama bone is the old drama bone, and he has been watching it with a high degree of restoration throughout the whole scene.

    After the film was made, the director also found that he made it ugly and the logic was untenable, so he thought he was "smart" and started working on "self-hack" in the later stage, starting with subtitles, pretending to end in the middle, thinking it was high-level absurdity Humor. I can't bear this kind of setting, including the last bunch of extremely inflammatory and misleading subtitles, which makes the whole movie completely reduced to "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" serving politics.

    If the alienation effect of The Big Short is impressive, it's because of the Michael Lewis book that makes it climax at the end. When it came to this "Vice President", the director still used this kind of labor. Unfortunately, this is a story of vice and it is nothing more than a bunch of untenable pubic hair theory. In the end, this story will only make people embarrassed, even The actors are trying so hard to get to the Olympics, and because of the alienation effect of the director, the characters of the actors are portrayed as alienated. Even if "House of Cards" is possessed in the end, the comparison will only make the story appear more old-fashioned.
