I didn't see anyone mention it in the reviews so wanted to write this is my first time writing a review
(Although the first movie review has a lot of words, combined with his arguments and scores, I don't think he understands the movie and doesn't understand why so many people agree with it)
(Originally 4 stars, but I still give 5 stars. Commander Gao's performance is really good, I feel that the rating should be higher)
① Combined with the description of the movie, the ending can be understood as having experienced
Journalists seen as friends backstab and threaten,
The boss and the "teacher" who were treated by him loyally joined forces to fire,
Angrily ran to the opponent's camp but was rejected and learned that this was the opponent's game,
Intern in lover or girlfriend relationship may commit suicide by taking medication due to her own negligence (missing phone calls)
The above, I finally grew up and understood the truth of politics. I have no friends, no teachers, only interests. I am only 30 years old. Praise Senator Thompson to everyone (BOSS always said in the middle of the movie that he would not cooperate with him because his personality and political opinions are not compatible), so that everyone can see the background sound of integrity and learn how to live in the world", the male protagonist Stephen faced the camera and skillfully played The official tone, pick up the conversation, and take advantage of the situation to successfully conclude this primary election.
② The end can also be understood as
The naive, very idealistic male protagonist is experiencing
Ida, a journalist who is regarded as a friend (wishful thinking), told him that there is only mutual benefit (as a reporter for The Times can write better stories and have more exposure), Stephen's expression at the time was incredible (go fxxk urself)
Self-confessed, he told the "teacher" Paul (when dating a female intern, he said that he worked for Paul, and Paul worked for the boss, so he was loyal to the boss because of the teacher Paul) that he had a relationship with the opponent's think tank Duffy I met privately, but was fired by Paul on the grounds that he was disloyal and no longer trusted, and was approved by the boss (about 25 points, the boss asked if Stephen was single, and the answer was that I dedicated my life to the campaign)
Angrily ran to the opponent's camp to seek a comeback, but was educated by Duffy, and since then completely understood the sinister politics/people's heart, and further blackened
"Dedicated" to Molly, a 20-year-old female intern, after learning that she had an affair with BOSS, she still decided to keep BOSS, give Molly money to have an abortion and expelled from the campaign team (about 48 minutes to learn the news, Stephen's eyes are round Stare was extremely angry, and her body was shaking "Jesus fxxking Christ". But when asked if she was drunk, the answer was not that drunk, not particularly drunk, that is to say, she was not pushed by qj but half pushed, so she decided to keep the boss)
But at the clinic Stephen told Molly that he would come back for her
The last straw was in the hotel where the assistant told Molly that Stephen had been fired, was going to Duffy, was completely out of control and said he's taking everybody down on his way out. Morris, everybody.) At the end, everyone is emphasized again,
Molly asked him when it happened (the voice had become quieter at this time), and the assistant explained that it would be time to stop the loss long ago. Molly would think that she was expelled from the campaign team first, and now this incident happened again. After making several calls and the male lead did not reply, Molly felt that she must have been abandoned as Stephen's negotiating chip. , not to mention her father, in a devout Catholic family, abortion is undoubtedly completely forbidden, and it was revealed that she could not live. Having just had an abortion, she was physically weak and mentally tortured, so she chose to commit suicide.
The male protagonist saw the scene of the female protagonist's death, and after hearing the voicemail, he was completely blackened. One is that Molly committed suicide due to part of his own reasons (expelled from the campaign team, went to Duffy and didn't answer the phone), and he thought about it. ashamed. The second is because all of this stemmed from the betrayal of the people around him, otherwise he might continue to be the boss's think tank, flirt with his girlfriend, and enter the White House at the age of 30, with a bright future. So decided to take revenge.
There are corresponding hints throughout the front, middle and back,
Opening (10:25) Reporter Ida says "No matter who gets elected, the grasshoppers are still living as usual", and "Mike Morris is a politician, he's a good guy, they're all good guys, but as long as he's a politician, sooner or later you'll be disappointed"
In the mid-term (33:30), the boss asked Stephen how he felt about the campaign on the constantly shaking plane. Stephen replied that I think that we are solid. After the dialogue, the plane became unstable again.
In the middle and late stages (59 points 18), he said "I hate this shit" through Molly's mouth (I hate this "everything"), and the male protagonist's answer was "I'm gonna come back, and this is all gonna be over ." (I'll be back, and 'everything' will end). Molly believed him, said "yeah" and Stephen kissed her and left.
late
(important turning point)
(1:14:20) Stephen is in the car listening to Molly in the voicemail saying "I'm not going away." (I won't leave you)
(1:28) Stephen talks to Paul, a former respected "teacher", Paul said that he would go to K Street (mentioned once in the early part of the movie), a good consulting firm with an annual salary of millions of dollars. Stephen replied "Sounds relaxing", Paul asked "Doesn't it?" (Do you have any),
Stephen didn't answer. The reason is that in the end he has to make a big ticket, so that's the end-----
The background sound of the interview with BOSS "Because that's what this integrity, who we are" (it is because of this integrity, let us call it a person) is ironic in the first understanding. Politicians face the camera. Changed his color and talked eloquently, here is his real counterattack as a "human" after he was used to seeing the dark side of politics.
The last sentence of the background sound is used as the last line of the film
"Stephen, can you give us some insight into how this whole thing unfolded?"
(Stephen, can you tell us in detail how this "everything" is made?)
So it is self-evident what the male protagonist will say when facing the camera.
If you ask me which ending I prefer,
