Willie Stark (the governor) is simply fighting fire with fire to achieve his political ambitions. His ideal has never changed, that is, to speak for the poor. In the film, many of his deeds for the poor are described. He did not deceive the poor, his elect. His enemies have always been the corrupt, high above and desperately trying to maintain the status quo.
His lust and arrogance are his shortcomings, and he was eventually mastered by the enemy, and it was his wife and the deputy governor who was conspiring against him.
Character Analysis:
Jack Burton is a man of strong will and great judgment, arguably perfect.
1. He was openly opposed to his family and supported Willie Stark's campaign despite the opposition of his family and colleagues (the newspaper paragraph).
2. In order to realize a correct political point of view, he indirectly killed his own father.
3. Because of jealousy, the governor's wife deliberately revealed that his favorite had an affair with the governor, in order to disintegrate his alliance with the governor. Although he was angry at first (he loved Anne too much) and a little impulsive, and even said that he could only see the whole picture if he stayed away, but in the end he wisely supported the governor.
4. He can tolerate some of the governor's inappropriate practices, such as the governor's extravagant life, his lust, and even his lover being played by him. Shows that he is strong-willed and wants to support his ideas and support a correct leader.
5. The last video is his review of the whole conspiracy. He sees the truth of the whole thing, but there is no way to stop Adam from killing the governor madly and stupidly.
Adam is a fragile person, and Jack directly stated his weakness: he will not sit idly by in the righteous, even if he is evil. Because he is the son of the former governor, he has a psychological shadow. What he is most afraid of is damage to his reputation, but he does not want to be mediocre, and he also wants to make some efforts for the poor, but he will be used.
The governor's wife's psychology is also well described. When the governor was obsessed with strippers, he emphasized in front of Jack that she was not old, and she should not have planned to break up with her husband at that time. Later, the affair between Anne and the governor may be the fuse. In the end, she colluded with the lieutenant governor and killed her husband by borrowing a knife.
The fat lieutenant governor is a typical villain. He made fun of Willie publicly when he was giving a speech in the countryside, causing him to fall into the pigsty. Later, he has been the negative foil of the governor. His obesity and the ability of the governor are like red flowers need green leaves, and the newspaper at the end of the film also shows that he finally became the governor.
One last mention of Annie, she is a good woman, not only beautiful but also ambitious. In order to raise funds for the construction of the university, he would not hesitate to sell his body. Of course, the governor is also an excellent talent, and it is not surprising that the beautiful woman sends her arms. From another point of view, according to her view of love (love is like jumping off a cliff), it is unforgivable that Jack's indifference to her that night, and his choice of the governor to engage in a one-night stand is also an ignorant revenge for Jack. Women are women, they don't understand how deep a man's love is. Jack once said: I do this because of no noble sentiments. Because we still have so much time. You are so perfect, and I want to keep it like this forever, I can't bear to destroy it.
