I think Sean Penn's speech is really provocative enough

Note that incitement is not sensational.

Although the film depicting politics is inevitably ugly and dark, this film portrays it deeply and deeply through an insider (also a bystander)!

A governor falls, and a governor rises. Stark is regarded as a governor who wants to do something for the common people in public (and indeed he does), and in private he is also a lecherous and powerful man. He escaped the impeachment of his political opponent, but he did not escape the indirect murder of his political opponent. The reporter played by Jude Law has witnessed Stark's entire political career, when he heard about the scandal between his loved one and Governor Stark, his biological father committed suicide because of the governor's impeachment case, and his friend became a murderer. We are the only ones who can feel the taste of the Governor's "Hand of Justice".

PS: Sean Penn is really suitable to play Hitler, ^_^. As for Kate Winslet, I can't really recognize who it is without looking at the cast (so slim~~S)

All the King's Men quotes

  • Willie Stark: Time brings all things to light, I trust it so.

  • Jack Burden: The friend of your youth is the only friend you'll ever have. For he doesn't really see you. He sees in his mind a face which doesn't exist anymore, speaks a name... Spike, Bud, Red, Rusty... Jack... that belongs to that now nonexistent face. He's still the young idealist you used to be, still sees good and bad in black and white and men as sinners or saints but never both and feels superior in the knowledge that you no longer can distinguish the two. That's what drives you to it. To try to stick the knife in. There is a kind of snobbery in failure like the twist to the mouth of a drunk.
