Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) is a United States Secretary of State with both talents and good looks, and Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) is a journalist with an unsatisfactory talent. It seems that there is no intersection between two people, but fate made them meet. No, it should be said that they meet again.
When Charlotte was 16 years old, she used to take care of Fred as a nanny. Although she was only a few years older than Fred, she had big dreams when she was young. She wanted to be president. And Fred not only admired her, but knew her better.
Because of the company merger, Fred was unwilling to sell his life for the new "bad boss", so he resigned. His good friend Lance (O'Shea Jackson Jr.) took him to a party in order to make him happy. At this party, Fred unexpectedly met his once dream lover Charlotte Field again. At this time, she was no longer the sister next door. Now she is one of the most powerful women in the world. Her graceful gestures and wisdom in conversation make everyone fall under her pomegranate skirt. Yes, after many years, he and her met again.
Because the president wanted to enter the film and television industry and gave up continuing to choose the president, he praised Charlotte as the next president. Charlotte is of course very happy, but she is facing a problem now, she is smart enough, elegant enough, beautiful enough, but not humorous enough. And she urgently needed someone to help her write a speech, she thought of Fred. She read the articles Fred had published, and Charlotte thought he was a useful talent. His articles are pungent, hit the nail on the head, and hit the point. The most important thing is that he has known her since childhood, and Charlotte hopes that someone who knows her can help her write a manuscript. In this way, Fred became a member of the Charlotte team, following Charlotte around the world, participating in various activities. In order to write a more touching speech, Fred asked Charlotte various personal questions. For example, what movies and TV series she likes to watch. In this way, getting along day and night, after dialogues and exchanges, they became in love with each other for a long time. Two people who fall in love will eventually face a question after their passion fades-how can their disparity in identity be accepted by the masses? Especially when Charlotte is a candidate for the presidential election, how can she tell the public that her boyfriend is an anonymous person with a beard and a HIP-HOP hat wearing colorful sportswear every day?
Charlotte wants Fred to temporarily conceal their relationship, and then slowly change Fred's identity so that he will gradually become a person close to her social status. But Fred was reluctant to accept it because he cared more about authenticity. He only considered himself. He didn't want the masses to accept him who was not real. He abandoned her, and she also chose to follow the path of her dreams.
This is a comedy love movie after all, and of course the story will have a perfect ending. During the election process, Charlotte finally revealed the deal between the president and the businessman, and also informed the crowd that her boyfriend was Fred. And Fred also expressed willingness to be the man behind her, as long as he can be with her.
Charlotte finally became the President of the United States in the film, a female president supported by the masses. And Fred changed his surname to Charlotte's surname, and became an assistant Charlotte "the man behind."
After seeing the end of the film, the audience will understand why the title is called LONG SHOT, because when Charlotte is finally willing to face and admit his love for Fred, Fred's answer is, "I have fallen in love with you since I was 12 years old." . What a long wait, what a wonderful fate. Finally waiting for you, fate will let us together after all.
This movie can make the audience laugh every two minutes, just like the comedy show of a drama movie. Seth Rogen also showed his humor, and his witty lines made people laugh. In the film, Charlize Theron, as the secretary of state, each piece of clothing and accessories fully demonstrates the elegance of a female politician. The two skilled acting skills are able to capture the hearts of the audience. In particular, Charlize Theron has the style of a female president. Every gesture and gesture reveals the atmosphere and care of a female politician, and really shows the essence of the presidential candidate. It is worth mentioning that in many details, this film declares feminism. At the end of the film, Charlotte became the first president of the United States. I believe this is also a good wish for the future status of women in society.
The film was not only set in the extremely political "White House", but also went to different countries to make this love story about politicians more romantic. The first and most familiar classic music in the film brings the story to the climax again and again, making the audience's heartbeat.
These two "unfit" people perfectly interpret the word "love". No matter how perfect, someone is worse than someone who understands you. Although you should stick to yourself, but because of love, you are willing to lay down a lot for the other party. In many cases, at the crossroads of love, it's not because you can't abandon your own way, but because you don't love enough. And Charlotte and Fred are willing to sacrifice what they value most for each other. Who said that two people who love each other must "sit on an equal footing." In the face of love, we are all ordinary men and women. This film made me, a person who has no hope of love, ignited the flame in my heart again. Maybe, maybe someday in the future, I will be able to meet someone who knows me better than myself. A confidant in life is enough to comfort the wind and dust.
