From the court's order, to the city government's acceptance, to the construction, to the acceptance of the entire community, many things are really not as simple as they say. Racial prejudice, personal self-interest, and more, can make this seemingly right thing difficult. Then in the process you will feel confused, angry and helpless.
I love the character mary, she was very angry at first, went to the council to protest and was thrown out by Nick, then Nick was not re-elected, the next mayor didn't stop the building, and she saw The other candidates in the back staged some senseless protests in order to gain votes. Bewildered, Mary began to wonder whether her initial objections were meaningful, and that her anger and protests were being exploited by politicians. Until the housing people found her and said they needed her to help improve the new community and help new residents integrate into the community. She began to visit, began to understand these low-income families, and began to cast aside prejudice and look at issues from their perspective. He had a good relationship with them until the end of the project. This is a person worthy of respect. You will see that she is not swayed by the violence of public opinion around her, but is always thinking and thinking with her conscience.
And as for our protagonist Nick, he showed me how much politics can kill a person as a deadly poison. He was young and energetic, but when he was used as a pawn, he became the mayor. The first half actually went well. Even though the people kept protesting, the courts kept putting pressure, and the lawmakers did not cooperate with the vote, he was still the mayor after all, and he was not in a state of confusion during his tenure. until he lost the election. Afterwards, you saw that he seemed to be a different person. In order to enter the game, he did whatever he could, regretted giving up running for mayor, kept breaking his promise, and made wrong choices again and again under the use of the new mayor. Finally betrayed his best friend Vinni. He was like a fly without a head all the time, wandering around, digging wherever there was a crack, until he finally lost his mind and became insane, and he killed himself on the spur of the moment.
There is also a detail about the investigation that emerged near the end. Nick was close to collapse at that time, and he also knew that his reputation was damaged because of his capriciousness, so when the investigative news came out, he never again The way to be frank and ignore it, he is like a fried cock, shouting everywhere. He couldn't calm down, and when he calmed down, he thought that what he had done was adding fuel to the fire and ruining his political career.
In fact, Nick can quit politics, teach, and become a lawyer. But because he was too young, arrogant, and had tasted the sweetness of being in the center of the political arena, he was not reconciled. In the end, he was like a gambler who had lost his entire net worth, and he still insisted on staying at the gambling table. Go and pray that luck will come in the next second. Poor and pathetic.
