House of Cards short review

This is one of the hottest dramas recently. I hadn't watched it before, until after the second season came out, my classmates recommended it all over the sky, which finally pushed me to watch it. It turned out great!

A few recommended points.
The first is a political battle of wits. Although it is too weak compared to my Great Heaven, it can still be seen. Under different backgrounds, we can take this as an opportunity to deeply understand the mutual restraint and interests of various forces under the decentralization system of the United States. Especially when a bill has to go through such cumbersome steps to implement, we can better appreciate the fairness that this system was designed with in the first place.

The second is thinking about the concept of love. I have always felt that the love between Frank and Clair is tepid, and that Clair and photographer Adam are the true love; I also feel that under this political background, the relationship between the two will definitely go wrong, because it always involves human feelings trade. But in this drama, the plot told me no, and it indirectly told me through the development of the main plot—politics—and the character characteristics of various characters, as well as many small details: true love is understanding, true love is There is no reason to support each other, true love is that two people can live together forever, no matter what.

The characters are full and three-dimensional, not one-sided. Member of Parliament Peter Russo was drinking and taking drugs to avoid problems and to temporarily restrain himself when facing true love; when he had a certain career, he dared to go back to see his mother. Frank is in the officialdom, but he still retains his little hobby - going to a certain restaurant for barbecue. Zoe relies on X to take the top position, but at a certain point, he will be lonely, and he will still feel overwhelmed by the surrounding walls. From these details, we can see that these characters are all "people", rather than "tools" or "pawns" that promote the development of the plot.
In addition, the heroine Clair is the most temperamental heroine I have ever seen in all American dramas. No matter how she dresses up, how she treats people (hard or soft), her adaptability, and the character modeling is very much in line with my taste. I am convinced.

Let's talk about the technology, the photography of this drama is very good, very very good! The first is the color tone, which can be seen from the beginning of the film, lighting, architecture, filling in the blanks, every picture can be seen when you stop and look at the beauty. The second is the composition. Many times we can focus our attention on the corresponding person according to the plot, but it will still draw our attention back, in order to make it more pleasing to our eyes.

At the beginning of each episode, I pay a little attention to the crew. The strange thing is that the people who write the script keep changing, the director keeps changing, and the cameraman doesn't change regularly, but the quality of the shots is always at the same level, which is really great! This allows me to enjoy the work all the time and not just watch it.

    God-like relationship between husband and wife. News bitches are still the conscience of the United States.

    The trick of breaking the fourth wall is really cute. It can not only explain the conspiracy hidden under the surface, but also maximize Spacey’s personal charm; Finch, James Foley, Joe Schumacher, directors are all It's a horror, and the editing is also Baxter, Fincher's queen. The gray tones of the entire series, the angles of the interior scenes, the juicy dialogue, and the intricate directions all really suit me.
