The actor's simple democratic ideals are well shot, especially the part of the Lincoln Memorial, which can be called a model for patriotic education films. As a comedy, the so-called male protagonist's immature behavior after being appointed as a member of parliament is not funny, but fortunately the rhythm of the film is well controlled, and the part where the male protagonist speaks for more than 24 hours in a row in order to maintain his right to speak in the parliament is very touching, although The content of the speech is inexplicable, but the focus is not on how to fight against the heroes in the parliament. The real struggle lies in the competition behind the control of public opinion. As a result, the male protagonist was defeated, all channels of voice were controlled, and even children were persecuted, which was touching but desperate. , I hope there will be a turnaround at the end, but in the end, it is the villain's abrupt conscience discovery that reverses the ending. Suddenly, people feel that such justice is extremely weak, and there is a suspicion of unfinished ends. Maybe the creator also wants to express the United States. Corrupt politics are hopeless under the manipulation of chaebols.
