America's end is near and far

The man who plays Martin Luther King in the film, you are not ready for a thick black beard, and from the audience's point of view, the interpretation is a bit stiff and unnatural. I think this is the person who looks very awkward in the whole film.

The highlight is President Lyndon Johnson's Bryan Cranston, whose acting and expression are on the list, with high energy and tension throughout the whole process. The others were all supporting roles, but he alone impressed me the most. After reading and checking, it turned out to be the teacher of "Breaking Bad". Well, I am even more confused, and it turned out to be more brilliant than the performance in the play.

The story is told loosely, it looks like a documentary, but it is not so rigorous. In short, it is messy, and it brings the audience the feeling of wandering around the scenic spots. I will introduce it here, pull a scene to see the historical story of the characters, pull it there, and then I will give you a humanistic story of the place, just like a tour guide of a low-quality tour group, who is about to take you into a designated shopping center for you to consume.

It's a pity that an actor who played very well, throughout the whole film, I feel that he is the only one doing the hard work, and the others, including the director, are all in soy sauce. I have never understood why many inferior scripts are screened layer by layer and processed by a large number of staff before they can be presented and transformed into movies. Is it a matter of the director's ability? Because of a talented director, the world he sees is different from you and me, and the team led by him has a different temperament. And the movies that pass through his hands are so brilliant.

Politics, often accompanied by scandals, with few exceptions. The moment you stand on the stage, your political career begins. Offstage, humanity and self-control are needed. A successful politician can run his personal and political life independently, but they are still not out of the category of ordinary people. In the raging movement to create gods, it is not advisable to eliminate human nature, and it will only deepen people's distrust of him.

  • Lyndon B. Johnson: Clausewitz said "Politics is war by other means."... Bullshit. Politics is War... Period. You know how you win a campaign, by not losing it. I only lost one election my whole life. The son of a bitch stole it from me in the final seconds with a handful of fake votes, I will carry the pain of that with me to my dying day. But I'll tell you what, nobody will ever do me that way again, It'll be some other way.
