Power is an aphrodisiac

Very enjoyable, very ironic, and very humorous!

A young bastard who dropped out of school, clubbing, fighting, fighting, and finally turning into a political machine driven by love-family affection-personal interests-power, just like the hill of teacups-saucers-teacups-saucers. In the end, he collapsed, losing his humanity and affection.

The irony of the film is very right. Nixon and Kissinger decide the fate of the Vietnamese people thousands of miles away in a small house. Cheney asks Rumsfeld what we believe, Rumsfeld laughs a lot, a group of people Listening to the waiter in the restaurant recounting the cruel, cruel and selfish decision to change the world and change the destiny of other countries, laughing scenes (did you refer to the map of the Eight-Power Allied Forces invading China and dividing China?), Cheney decided to abandon the election , The film appeared with false ending subtitles. The last group of people was talking about "Fast and Furious" when a group of people were fighting because of Hillary and Trump. These ironic scenes are really interesting, very spicy and very deep.

The muddled bastard, who was flesh and blood at first, turned his head back and worked hard for love, but once he tasted unlimited power, the aphrodisiac of power decided that he would eventually become a political machine. Family affection was important, but in the end it can be sacrificed for power inheritance. Then the fate of others, the fate of other countries, can serve their own interests and their own power.

The outbreak of the Iraqi station was a wave of impetus by a group of people of interest. The destruction of a country can only be attributed to the interests of oil companies. These disguised as national interests, disguised as national missions, are very familiar.

Ingenious exchange concepts, ingenious packaging names, use of media and public opinion to create momentum, to kill behavior, the wolf here has the means of a politician, but also the mentally handicapped of the civilian white sheep.

What can you believe? We can only shake our heads and smile slightly. Even in a democratic country, they don’t know what to believe. The common people are just pawns that can be discarded at every moment.

    Adam McKay used his filming method of joking about the economy to go through a brief political history. The subject and the period of occurrence, which were originally more serious, became more and more absurd by contrasting editing and excessive length. At the same time, it weakened Depth allows the overall expression to flow to the surface. But Adam McKay's style is really not boring.

    Some of McKay’s comic-style film techniques (from "Big Short") actually helped the film. Because he knew his political stance in advance, he also complained that he was libertard, so there is no surprise in how he would portray the protagonist. of. Compared with the documentary I watched a few days ago, some liberals seem to be anti-war on the surface, but in their hearts they think, "In fact, they sent fewer people." "The reconstruction work after the war did not do a good job." McKay is not so hypocritical at all. A little bit of oil interest issues-La, here is the problem. In fact, talking about this is a good entry point, and it can spread to other people and the Democratic Party from Cheney's perspective; after all, how can such a battle be fought without support from both sides? But now it's very personal. For example, this person is pursuing supreme power, his wife is an ambitious, etc. Although there are plenty of details, it doesn't make much sense to be the core of a political film. The performance of the actors is still very entertaining, especially Sam Rockwell. By the way, is this movie justifying Bush Jr. with IQ problems? ?

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.
