A picture: The presidential candidate played by George Clooney impassively expounded his ruling philosophy and measures on the campaign stage with an American flag behind him, imagining the bright future of the United States under his administration, and behind the flag, The two elite cadres of the think tank in his campaign are arguing over how this strategy will go to any lengths to win more votes.
A line, the protagonist Steven said to the presidential candidate George Clooney:
Cause you broke the rule of politics
You wanna be President
You can start a war
You can lie
You can cheat
You can bankrupt the country
But you can't fuck the interns.
Such dirty politics made a 20-year-old young, beautiful and promising girl give up her own life. Thank you to the director for arranging another beautiful girl who is equally young and unlimited to join the campaign team. It seems to echo, At the same time, it also nakedly tells everyone the cruel reality: because of the trend of interests and desires, so many people still rush to politics, a grand festival full of filth and pompous and vain people dressed in a prosperous scene to deceive themselves.
The poster of the film is also very meaningful. On the surface, an individual is running for the highest leader of a country, and this country still thinks that it is, in fact, the unique superpower in the world. In the world, manipulating this person in the highest position is the countless intricate and intertwined forces behind him.
(PS: George Clooney is a big supporting role, just like this poster, don't be fooled)
