There's a distinct Oliver Stone feel to the constant flashback but very logical cut. The subject matter of this kind of political movie + difficult case is difficult to shoot. Oliver Stone, from the perspective of a prosecutor investigating a case, allows us to understand the inside story and restore the truth in the form of a half-documentary and half-detective film. A good director can make many excellent actors simply become pawns in his hands, Joe Pesci, Gary Oldman, such a character actor can't see any edge, the constant flashbacks and the sudden death of the plot characters make us Forgetting the presence of the actors makes us feel like they're simply serving the characters and thus focus on the events themselves. The last half hour of the court speech was a classic! Very methodically presenting evidence, inferring, thus accusing sinners, challenging authority, calling for truth and freedom, which really makes people's blood boil. Those classic lines "Are you going to let our children live in lies?" "Every patriot must be ready to challenge the government for his country!" "This film is dedicated to all young people who are still pursuing the truth. people!". . . . . . I like Kevin very much. Costner's role is unreasonable and nerdy, but in the face of such great adversity against the entire government, he still risked his life to pursue the truth stubbornly. Kevin's peculiar melancholy but calm temperament is really suitable for this role. To use a line from Al Pacino in "The Insider": "They are just ordinary people, can you expect them to be calm under such a lot of pressure?" This character did it, praise! I sincerely hope that there are more such heroes in the world!

It seems that it is still a very traditional biographical political film. Oliver Stone uses images to restore and dramatize an event that shocked the world and its aftermath. The main scenes in the middle and at the end are very infectious.

9.4/10 What is even more shocking than the conspiracy is the male supporting cast, which is also a bit eclipsed by the actress and the middle-aged superstar Joe Pesci, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary, the old driver, Jimin Meng, Walter, Matthew Michael Captain Luke Yondu, Jay Sanders. The Shawnk Warden Kevin Bacon, the old Sutherland Edward Asner Seinfeld, who only appeared on TV 2, the big fat guy, the soundtrack actually found John Williams, and the photography was actually Robert Richardson, beautiful on the big screen, is already guessing who the master is.

White House Man: We have to control the intelligence from Saigon.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Well don't let McNamara start sticking his damn nose in this thing! Every time he goes over to Saigon on some fuckin' fact-finding mission, he comes back and just scares the shit out of the President! Now I want Max Taylor on him night and day, like a fly on shit. Now you control McNamara, and you control Kennedy.
