The storyline is that three top professional lobbyists gather for a weekly dinner. They represent the interests of tobacco companies, alcohol, and gun production groups. And they laugh at the number of deaths caused by the industry they represent every day. The life of a professional lobbyist is of course very exciting: constantly facing challenges, mocking congressmen, misleading the media, and occasionally facing the danger of murder. But on the other hand, their lives are very boring: no one likes them, more people hate him. The tobacco company eventually fell, but Nick continued his career as a professional lobbyist by relying on his three-inch tongue.
Judging from the main line of the plot, this is an anti-tobacco satirical film. The appearance of a lobbyist with "moral flexibility" is very vivid. But on the other hand, this film is not blindly preaching and criticizing. The screenwriter did not push all the blame on the lobbyist, nor did he deface him as a monster. On the contrary, this is also a living person with a family and worries. Especially arranged for his son to understand the plot of his work. This little guy understands the lobbyist approach, but more importantly, he understands the importance of distinguishing between true and false.
This also reflects the personal values of the United States: there are all kinds of dangers and traps in the world, you must understand the consequences of your choice yourself, the government cannot do everything for you, so if you fall into the trap, you can only blame it. yourself. This also has a certain truth. Blindly attacking tobacco companies is not the most effective way (although it seems the most effective). The real solution is that every parent is responsible for educating their children about the dangers of smoking. Of course, this is also the source of many social problems in the United States today, because Americans do not have time to educate their children.
