It seems that everyone has an evolutionary process

Maybe I learned about this film from a certain column of American politics, so I pulled it into the list that I wanted to watch. In terms of time, it should be after I watched the west wing, so I always use the west wing standard to measure it. In fact, in terms of time, this film was shot first.

Chief of Staff AJ is the president in the West Wing of the White House. I also don’t know if it’s a preconceived prejudice or the fact that people have a strong aura. In this film, the president’s vigor is overshadowed by the chief of staff, even at the end of the film, the president is facing a challenger to the presidency and a woman who has lost his beloved woman. When it broke out, I couldn't help but wonder what effect would it be if the chief of staff came to play this president. . Of course, this president is actually quite unhappy. I think he won't have a chance to vent until the end of the film. . .

Contrast with the female Republican in the west wing who was invited by the president to work in the White House. Although I didn’t know if she had developed a relationship with her because I didn’t finish reading it, but in the face of an offer working for the president, compared to the female lobbyist being the president The excitement of inviting to the state banquet is obviously much calmer! From this point of view, I think this woman is not professional enough. As a female lobbyist who is mean to the president from the very beginning, you should keep your sharp humor and coolness to the end. How can you be so excited. . . Too unprofessional.

That lewis actor chose. . I always think he has a ws temperament, and always suspect that Ya is a contradiction. .

Relatively speaking, language is the highlight of the film. Quite interesting. It can be regarded as the prototype and preview of the west wing. So I think, the west wing is so exciting should not come in vain.

The American President quotes

  • President Andrew Shepherd: [in the Oval Office] Sorry to keep you waiting.

    Sydney Ellen Wade: Mister President...

    President Andrew Shepherd: Is it all right if I call you Sydney?

    Sydney Ellen Wade: Of course, Mister President.

    President Andrew Shepherd: Have you ever been in the Oval Office?

    Sydney Ellen Wade: Uh... I've just been on the regular tour. It didn't include...

    President Andrew Shepherd: I hear it's pretty good.

    Sydney Ellen Wade: Mister President, what you saw in there was nothing more than vanity run amuck. I was showing off for a colleague who doesn't think very much of me. It would be a real injustice for you to hold the GDC accountable for my behavior today. On top of which, I am monumentally sorry for having insulted you like that.

    President Andrew Shepherd: Are you under the impression I'm mad at you?

    Sydney Ellen Wade: Well, uh...

    President Andrew Shepherd: Sydney, seldom does a day go by where I am not burned in effigy.

    Sydney Ellen Wade: Not by a professional political operative standing 30 feet from the Oval Office.

    President Andrew Shepherd: Nah, I'll grant you that.

  • President Andrew Shepherd: [in the Oval Office] Listen, are you hungry? I skipped breakfast. You wanna... have a doughnut? Coffee or something?

    Sydney Ellen Wade: Sir, I'm a little intimidated by my surroundings. And yes, I have gotten off to a rocky and somewhat stilted beginning, but don't let that diminish the weight of my message. The GDC has been at every president for the last decade and a half that global warming is a calamity the effects of which will be second only to nuclear war. The best scientists in the world have given you every reason to take the GDC seriously, but I'm going to give you one more. If you don't live up to the deal you just made, come New Hampshire we're going to go shopping for a new candidate.

    [turns to leave]

    President Andrew Shepherd: You can't do that, Sydney.

    Sydney Ellen Wade: [starts to open door to a side room] With all due respect, Mr. President, who's going to stop me?

    President Andrew Shepherd: Well, if you go through that door, the United States Secret Service. That's my private office.

    Sydney Ellen Wade: Ah.

    President Andrew Shepherd: You have to go out that door,

    [points to his right]

    President Andrew Shepherd: over there.

    [Sydney closes the door to his private office, crosses the room, and leaves]
