I watched the movie and read a lot of people's comments.
How do I think Stark is a good guy who believes in what he believes in? The so-called corruption and scandal are the masterpieces of Saidy and Fatty around him. I guess they are insiders of Stark's political enemy Murphy. In fact, Jack's first love never had an affair with Stark, which is why she gave Jack a slap in the face! Jack finally realized that he had been tricked by Saidy and Fatty, but Adam had already been tricked into thinking that Stark had framed him. So in the end, the death of Stark and Adam was a tragic ending, showing that only those in power can control the country, and the people can never make their own decisions.

All the King's Men quotes

  • Willie Stark: Time brings all things to light, I trust it so.

  • Jack Burden: The friend of your youth is the only friend you'll ever have. For he doesn't really see you. He sees in his mind a face which doesn't exist anymore, speaks a name... Spike, Bud, Red, Rusty... Jack... that belongs to that now nonexistent face. He's still the young idealist you used to be, still sees good and bad in black and white and men as sinners or saints but never both and feels superior in the knowledge that you no longer can distinguish the two. That's what drives you to it. To try to stick the knife in. There is a kind of snobbery in failure like the twist to the mouth of a drunk.
