Introducing the American movie "Vice President" today.

Title Vice / Cheney / Backseat (2018), alias Fu Bu Ren (Hong Kong / Taiwan) / ranked second.

The film director Adam McKay's most successful work is "The Big Short", with its pseudo-documentary and witty narrative style, left a deep impression on the audience. After teasing the financial industry, Adam McKay sets his sights on the most controversial former US Vice President Dick Cheney, using the same pseudo-documentary approach and machine-inspired narrative style to shoot Dick Cheney An interesting offbeat biopic.

People's impression of the vice president is generally that the person who suddenly died during his term of office, impeached the person who succeeded the president, has no real power, and is a mascot most of the time. For example, the people in "House of Cards" will curve to save the country, bypassing a series of tedious processes such as elections and directly become president.

When everyone is staring at the president's every move, the vice president doesn't seem so conspicuous. Therefore, movies and TV dramas about vice presidents are generally based on comedy. For example, the American drama "Vice President", this "Vice President", has comedy labels.

As the saying goes, "When an official is a deputy, you need to wear cloth." Americans have never heard this kind of jingle, but they must have realized this truth in their politicians' careers.

Despite being a deputy, Dick Cheney is known as the most powerful vice president in American history. During Bush's eight years in office, Cheney, as vice president, led many decisions. The war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, the torture of prisoners, the Prism Gate, etc., which caused chaos in the world, are all his masterpieces. In front of the stage, Bush Jr. was like a silly son of a landlord, busy making jokes all day.

Dick Cheney has been in the political arena throughout his career. He has worked hard for many years. He has worked as an adviser to Nixon, Ford, and Bush Sr., as the CEO of Halliburton Corporation, and dominated the White House with George W. Bush. It can be said that he is the most famous in the global village. One of the powerful people.

The movie "Vice President" shows the politician's political experience in a very informal way, satisfying people's peeping at the top, adding some gags from time to time, breaking the fourth wall through narration and actor confessions, allowing the audience to I feel a vice president living by my side.

Dick Cheney is played by famous rubber man Christian Bale. The weight of fifty or sixty pounds is not a problem for him at all. He can gain weight and gain weight to become a fat man of two hundred pounds, and he can also lose weight to a skinny one of one hundred pounds. He does not rely on makeup to complete his shape changes.

Because there is also a joke on the Internet in this "Vice President", when someone says they look like Christian Bale, remember to ask one more question, which movie is Christian Bale in.

Dick Cheney in the film is like a dragon who can cover the sky with one hand, and the president is just a new recruit who doesn't understand anything in front of him.

The peace or chaos of the world is all decided by these few people in a low house, and the vice president is the one who decides the direction.

Dickley found legal loopholes, formed a team of allegiance to him, and turned into an underground president of the United States.

Such a setting is naturally very emotional, but it is too conspiracy theory, which makes a political movie with intrigue into a cool movie, and a movie that was originally very compelling now becomes like a farce.

It is indeed a good idea to express the dark cannibalism in the way of comedy sunshine, but the performance of the film is too frivolous.

When making fun of politicians' shady tricks, the film still has a heart to save the common people, but unfortunately it is not enough, making the audience feel that it is always a sigh of relief.

    If Adam McKay still maintains a certain degree of rationality in "The Big Short", this one is a shameless propaganda completely stripped down. Similar to the previous work, the film uses a lot of documentary techniques, combining virtual and real (also copied the pen Von Trier), portraying Cheney as a puppet master behind the Bush administration, and portraying presidential dictatorship, the Iraq war, environmental issues, ISIS and other shit pots. All buckled on the head (of course, such as the Koch brothers, Justice Scalia and other usual suspects). However, anyone with a basic understanding of U.S. politics and international relations knows the ludicrousness of this argument. The whole film does not mention Vulcan, Xinbao and other forces, and completely ignores the fact that the president from FDR to LBJ has used various means to expand his power. The technique of the film is also a step backward compared to the "big short", and the final destination is actually a stereotypical father-daughter relationship. The only bright spot may be the lively performances.

    The Christmas scene is full, and the 50-year contemporary history of the United States is connected with the history of the vice president. The trick of starring in the middle of the staff is really evil enough. McKay's script is still very brilliant, and more clever makes biopics more like Jokingly. Bale's acting is really done by weight, and Sam is really suitable for playing a sunny and stupid role like Little Grove!

Vice quotes

  • Kurt: [Narrating] As the world becomes more and more confusing, we tend to focus on the things that are right there in front of us. While ignoring the massive forces that actually change and shape our lives. With people working longer and longer hours, for less and less. When we do have free time, the last thing we want is complicated analysis of our government, lobbying, international trade agreements, and tax bills. So it's no surprise that when a monotone bureaucratic Vice President came to power we hardly noticed. As he achieved a position of authority that very few leaders in the history of America ever have. Forever changing the course of history for millions and millions of lives. And he did it like a ghost. With most people having no idea who he is or where he came from. How does a man... go on to become... who he is.

  • Donald Rumsfeld: Fuck Kissinger, he's overrated anyway!
