"Ms. Sloan" is one of the few movies I've seen that takes the theme so simple, direct, and surprising.
There are no luxury car beauties, and no explosive bullets. A single cool color basically runs through the film. The model worker's lipstick is almost the brightest color in the film. Today, when commercial films are running all over the street, the creators of this film boldly put all the weight on the theme.
The story told in the film is very simple: the female protagonist with a tenth-level mouth cannon and an IQ against the sky is in the political arena in Washington.
The first 30 minutes of the film basically accomplish two tasks, one is to build the image of Ms. Sloan's "strong female politician", and the other is to form an antagonistic relationship between Ms. Sloan's team and the former company.
As an industry leader, Ms. Sloan gave up her family life and was very harsh on herself and her employees. After work, she needed a male prostitute to release the pressure. Swallowing pills in the bathroom to lift your spirits and being mean to the rest of the team is so powerful that it makes people off screen uncomfortable.
The fast and intensive dialogue and a lot of information were outputted crazily after the movie started. I once thought it was a movie with strong personal heroism. Later, I found out that it was the explosive acting skills of the model worker who supported the values of the whole movie. stand up.
One day, a political boss pointed out that Sloan took the order and wanted to recruit her to help him oppose the proposal to strengthen firearms regulation. Sloan, who was only working hard for his career and wealth, rejected this opportunity to make money. She did not hesitate to sacrifice her career future. Fight with each other.
After breaking up with his old club, Sloan quickly formed a team and devoted 200% of his energy to formulate combat crimes against the backward voting situation, wooing MPs, pooling funds, inciting public opinion, and dispatching private investigation teams to carry out monitoring and surveillance. , various means are used one by one. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you can breathe, you can be a resource for this woman.
In her own words, "Lobbying lies in foresight, in analyzing the plans that the opponent will take, and then formulating corresponding countermeasures. The final winner will always keep one more hand than the opponent, and after the opponent shows the trump card, he will take out his own. It's a killer. The point is that you surprise them, and they do what you expect."
The film's portrayal of Ms. Sloan.
Film and television literature has always been full of resolute and resolute perfect warriors. We are convinced by the fighting ability of these "warriors", but their most beautiful moments or the most "charming" moments are not at the same time as swords, lights, swords and shadows. I think it is the time to take off their armor.
As the plot progresses, we slowly discover that the character Sloan is flesh and blood.
How invincible she is in the political arena, and how self-doubt she is in the spiritual world.
One of the turning points of the film is that, without the consent of the parties, Sloan stabbed out the school rape case experienced by the black female colleague Esme, making the colleague the focus of social attention. Of course, she won the support of the gun control faction through this trick. However, the gun-wielding party saw the tricks, and let a legal citizen with a gun rescue Esme from the gangsters, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.
The accident gave Sloan a blow in the head, and she pushed a young girl who had escaped a shooting back under the cold gun again.
The scene that impressed me was when Sloan met Esme at the airport, and she offered Esme a Sloan apology, saying, "I don't know where the boundaries are, I never knew where the boundaries were. where."
It was her apology, and she was calling for help.
At that moment, she lost her armor and her combat effectiveness. "I don't know where the boundaries are" was her doubt about the boundaries she had set.
A person who is so powerful would also be drowned in his own judgment, and Sloan stepped down from the altar at this moment and became a complete person.
Another twist that struck me was her vulnerability and helplessness in the face of male prostitutes.
A shrewd female politician who runs the political arena and is obsessed with profit, a ruthless strong woman who seems to be driven by a desire for control and a competitive spirit, but is pushed aside by a male prostitute, the beautiful appearance and the gentleness under the hard armor. Her heart is always beating for those who need her.
So far, Ms. Sloan has become both a person and a woman, and her primary "human" and secondary "feminine" identities have reached a perfect fusion.
For that alone, "Ms. Sloan" outperforms most female web novels.
The intersection of the real story and Socrates.
Sloan said that people read to prepare for entering the real world, while Jane said that she never liked the real world.
The two women whose values seem to be at opposite ends of the scale have become the creators of the "big bang" at the end of the film.
Sloan asked Jane, do you like to bury yourself in Socrates' books? Jane replied that none of those books were written by Socrates.
Later, Smith, the CEO of Peterson Wyatt Company, recruited Sloan. Sloan hesitated and called Jane again to ask the little girl who studied philosophy, if Socrates didn't write anything, how did others know What about this person? Jane's answer video is not detailed.
This seemingly innocuous plot also made me realize that "Socrates" must have some kind of special role in the film.
As an ancient sage, one of Confucius's major characteristics is "speaking but not doing". This phenomenon not only occurs in China, but also in foreign saints such as Sakyamuni, Jesus, and Socrates. But all the sages with the color of social activists are basically more inclined to comment rather than create.
So, how did the ideological essence of Socrates and other saints pass down? Get someone to write it.
Socrates' ideas survived Plato's pen. So, Sloan imitated Plato's practice, "forged" the last "trump card" and detonated the bomb in the courtroom.
Brilliant twists and clear themes.
In 2020, the violent crime problem in the United States has significantly worsened. Statistics show that in 2020, domestic gun violence, accidental shootings, gun violence and gun suicides increased in the U.S., resulting in more than 43,000 gun-related deaths in metropolitan areas. It is also the first time since full records have been made that the death toll from gun violence has exceeded 40,000.
U.S. President Biden delivered a speech on the 14th, taking this opportunity to call on Congress to advance gun legislation reform, and also called on Congress to remove immunity for gun manufacturers.
The heavy resistance on the road to gun control in the United States is closely related to the people's tradition of owning guns, but the obstruction of interest groups is a key factor. Interest groups are one of the biggest beneficiaries of the "gun buying fever" and one of the biggest obstacles to gun control in the United States. Gun interests gain political clout through monetary donations to prevent governments from controlling guns.
Gun control, the first thing to control is the interest group that owns guns, which is also the enemy Sloan is fighting.
"I do things according to my beliefs so that I don't have trouble sleeping and eating."
"Ms. Sloan" is a good political film, the whole film is full of plot reversals, and the rhythm is better than most of the same type of films.
Sloan is a politician who sees through human nature and is good at exploiting human nature. Her indifference and cruelty are understandable. But it is such a person who has the ability and reason to maximize his own interests who choose to stick to his beliefs.
"A lobbyist with strong beliefs, and that belief isn't just about his ability to win," Sloan said.
Her belief also comes from the goodness of human nature, from the simplest and purest reason, that she firmly believes that she is right.
Jesus, who persuaded people to do good, died on the cross in order to atone for the sins of mankind, and was famous in history for his death;
Socrates, who also persuaded people to be kind, died in an Athens prison on charges of "blasphemy" and "corrupting youth" and is remembered in history.
Compared with the sages, Sloan's imprisonment has the meaning of martyrdom.
One more thing, we don't need to be too harsh on the political situation in the United States, which is not very relevant to the theme of the film.
Political darkness is not a problem of individuality, but of commonality. Socrates said, "I am a gadfly. . . The country is like a great horse, but because it is so big, it needs a gadfly to tingle it to refresh its spirit."
This sentence expresses the importance of civic social responsibility and a critical spirit. A country's worms are harmful to none, but they are a sign of a country's vitality. After all, the end of carrion is only the soil.
In the end, she is so beautiful...
