      I think he is very positive!

      Let’s not talk about the movie first, let’s talk about this character first, this real big man who has been shown in the same documentary. To be honest, I like him. In this life, how can we live and not live? Although it is a bit of a deception, but in the final analysis He earns money from the rich, he opens kosher restaurants, runs schools, all because he has a huge heart and confidence in himself. If he is not so greedy, he may deliberately live a very handsome life, but so what, again, life...

      The last work of life

      Although there are many lines, it does not affect the brilliance of the film at all. The rhythm is fast and the story is quite attractive. Coupled with the perfect performance of Kevin Spacey, this is another successful film based on real events. There is no major production, but the extreme care of the producers can be seen in the editing and soundtracking. Although it is a completely different type of story from "The Social Network", when you see such a wonderful fast-paced film, it can make...

      Classic movie lines quoted by Casino Jack

      A very distinctive feature of this film is that it pays homage to many classic films.
      There is an interesting line in this film: Washington is Hollywood with ugly faces . Video :

      Rocky distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood." Jack quotes Stallone There is quite the smugness of a poor boy's success. Movie: The Godfather "The Godfather" Role: Michael...

      "Black Gold Storm/Politician Jack" is nonsense

      In fact, this film has nothing to say, it is not ordinary, but the idea of ​​​​it wants to emerge is a failure. In the performance, apart from the true feelings revealed by the protagonist's wife after smelling the danger, and the eyes of several participants after the protagonist faced the threat of the second owner's dismissal meeting, there is almost nothing desirable. This film is based on real events, and the final effect of the film reminds me of "The Strong Men's Money Robbery Group"....

      circle - relationship

      "Politician Jack" is a documentary. Although it is difficult to call it witty, it is also lighthearted and witty, but it does not give people the satisfaction of the senses. Hidden in this lighthearted wit is a mockery of politics and interests, which may be hard to penetrate. As Jack was already serving a federal sentence at the time, he asked in an email reply to the director, "Why do you want to make a documentary? No one is watching a documentary, you should make an action movie." I think...

    Background creation

    into the story itself
    Although critics are divided on the film's "position issue", the film itself is quite good in terms of the quality of its storytelling, as George Heikenlooper puts the jailed Jack Abramaux in the film. The husband himself tells his story. This first-person narration not only achieves the authenticity of the film, but also destroys the "political correctness" of the film in a sense. Because the film portrays Jack as...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Jack Abramoff: You know, I do a shitload of reading and studying and praying, and I've come to a few conclusions I want to share. People look at politicians and celebrities on the TV and the newspapers, glossy magazines - what do they see? "I'm just like them." That's what they say. "I'm special. I'm different. I could be any one of them." Well guess what, you can't. You know why? Cause in reality, mediocrity is where most people live. Mediocrity is the elephant in the room. It's ubiquitous. Mediocrity in your schools. It's in your dreams. It's in your family. And those of us who know this - those of us who understand the disease of the dull - we do something about it. We do more because we have to. The deck was always stacked against us. You're either a big leaguer, or you're a slave clawing your way onto the "C" train. Some people say Jack Abramoff moves too fast. Jack Abramoff cuts corners. Well, I say to them, if that's the difference between me and my family having the good life and walkin' and using the subway every day, then so be it. I will not allow my family to be slaves. I will not allow the world I touch to be vanilla. You say I'm selfish? Fuck you! I give back. I give back plenty. You say I - I got a big ego? Fuck you twice! I'm humbly grateful for the wonderful gift that I've received here in America the greatest country on this planet. I'm Jack Abramoff. And oh, yeah, I work out every day.

    • Sarah Abramoff: Would you please stop it with that... quoting movies all the time.

      Jack Abramoff: Come on honey, you know I love the movies.

    • Jack Abramoff: What 'er you in for, Snake?

      Snake: Assault and battery. Resisting arrest. Chicken shit beef like that. How 'bout you?

      Jack Abramoff: Oh, me. I work in D.C. I'm a lobbyist.

      Snake: Lobbyist. That against the law?
