"The White House"

A very interesting drama, although it is about politics, although it is about the White House, but it just makes me think it is very interesting, funny, and makes people laugh.



A group of quick-witted presidential staff shuttles through the not spacious corridors of the White House, talking about the world's major events at a speed like a machine gun, interspersed with a number of jokes, if it is one or two people, it is nothing new, but the drama All the people in the show have maintained such a level, and the conversation in the entire White House is comparable to the cross talk contest, so I can't help but say that it is wonderful.



American dramas have always been fast-paced. Generally, each episode has to solve at least 2 problems. Sometimes in "Casino", solving 3 problems in one episode makes me feel busy. This show has 4 problems in one episode, and the arrangement Being busy but not chaotic, I have to admire the strength of the screenwriter.


The humanized description in the play is very moving. A group of people with enthusiasm, courage, wisdom and ability, unite and work hard around the ideal in their hearts.



Sure enough, it's a gold-medal drama that has won many awards.


However, since it is a drama with a political theme, it will definitely involve political issues. I don't like the description of China in the drama. Basically, the description of China in most European and American dramas doesn't make me like it. Playing the Chinese ambassador The person in the movie looks weird. He played "Mr. Li" in "The Pretender". The only good thing is that this time they didn't find another Vietnamese to pretend to be Chinese.



The United States is still described as the freest, most democratic, and although not the most perfect, but the most progressive country in the world. Other countries are either poor and backward, closed and ignorant, or terrifying dictatorships, which I am afraid will continue to fill in American film and television works. bingo.

The West Wing quotes

  • Sen. Arnold Vinick: [closing remarks at Republican Convention] My commitment to strive to be worthy of the example of the great men who have gone before. Presidents walk in giant footsteps. They have magnificent legacies to uphold. I stand here on this day and put my name forth, as one who aspires to their example, who will daily make that sacrifice, who will honor not just the office, but the people that office serves. *Their* President of these United States of America.

  • Leo McGarry: This guy's walkin' down a street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, "Hey you! Can you help me out?" The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole, and moves on. Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up, "Father, I'm down in this hole; can you help me out?" The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by. "Hey, Joe, it's me. Can ya help me out?" And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are ya stupid? Now we're both down here." The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.
