Lies, terrible lies.
You thought you found and escaped and fought back successfully, only to find yourself still in it when it was too late.
Or is it better to not know it from the beginning, or to endure it at all?
In short, better than dead.


I don't know why I am moved by such a movie. As usual, I don't feel that way about such a political movie. But maybe that's why Lao Ann, Xiao Qiu, Bad Xi and Kai Wen will play. Because this movie is really unusual.
Aside from the political intrigue, I think it's a bit of philosophical thinking. The whole story is JACK's brainstorming. His choices, his doubts, his past... Everything was tangled in a net against the backdrop of a political situation, trapping everyone. ...I want to call them weak. Not because of its own strength or anything else. is a weakness. In fact, all of us are weak. Both have the side that is most easily knocked down. If only you know or someone who has no desire for you knows, it doesn't make any sense, except that the human heart is something you can never see through. From a scientific point of view, you can never read the human brain.
Everyone else's weaknesses are obvious. But what about jack? I think it's his eyes, he believes too much in what he sees and is too attached to it. He sacrificed too much for this, and even if he finally understood, it would be useless. This is probably the greatest sadness. You know what to do, but you can't.
There is no right or wrong in life, there are only countless choices. A phrase commonly used by Westerners turns out to be really deeply implanted in blood vessels. Or gray matter?

  • Sadie Burke: The world is full of sluts on skates.

  • Willie Stark: Remember, it is not I who have won, but you. Your will is my strength, and your need is my justice, and I shall live in your right and your will. And if any man tries to stop me from fulfilling that right and that will, I'll break him. I'll break him with my bare hands, for I have the strength of many.
