President Killing Game The Ides of March
Director: George Clooney
"President Killing Game" is a drama film released by Sony Film Entertainment and was released in the United States on October 7, 2011. The film is directed by George Clooney and starring Ryan Gosling , George Clooney Middleton, Philip Seymer Hoffman and others. The film is based on the Broadway comedy "Farrag North Station" and tells the story of a young man who promotes and speaks for a promising presidential candidate, but he ends up becoming a victim of power struggle.
film centers on director George Clooney himself, Mike Morris, a perfect Democratic politician played by director George Clooney himself. He is talented, handsome, ambitious and full of leadership aura. He assures the public that he will be honest with what he says.
Stephen (Ryan Gosling) is the media spokesperson in his campaign team. The momentum of this recruit has almost overwhelmed Paul (Philip Seymer Hoffman) the old leader in the campaign team. However, as Stephen falls deeper into this circle, politics will always slowly show its own sinisterness.
Stephen had a relationship with Molly (played by Rachel Evan Wood), a college student who came to intern, but accidentally discovered that Morris had a one-night stand with her, and Molly was pregnant.
Then, Stephen met with Morris's opponent's campaign supervisor (played by Paul Giamatti) in a private meeting, and he was forced to resign, and Molly committed suicide...
Facing the broken life, Stephen seemed to have no choice but to fight back and fight back. But is it really that simple to do this?
Is this story very similar to many plots in " House of Cards "? Hoho, yes. Both this film and "House of Cards" should be called a political thriller, which uses relatively exaggerated ways to express and amplify the dark side or unspoken rules in American politics, allowing the audience to feel the danger and terror of politics. Of course, American film and television works are known for their dark side. They don’t need positive energy, they need drama.
George Clooney This is the most famous diamond five in Hollywood. In addition to being handsome and loving to pick up girls, they are still very talented. They can write, direct, star, and become producers. They don’t delay him picking up girls. This life winner has a well-known enthusiasm for politics, and most of his direct works are related to politics. In addition to actively participating in various political activities, he also actively helped some senators to raise money, and even filmed the politically-themed movie "Good Night, Good Luck." 》. In Hollywood, he is the most politically motivated filmmaker. A poll said that if the next U.S. president comes from Hollywood, then George Clooney will sit on the throne of president.
In order to shoot this movie, George Clooney spent 4 years and also found money for the film himself. Because this is not a commercial film that will perform well at the box office, and the theme of the film is sensitive, even the production cost of $2 million has made Clooney stretched and complained. However, even after only $2 million, Clooney successfully found Oscar-level performance teams such as Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymer Hoffman, Marisa Tome, Paul Giamati, and Rachel Evan Wood.
And such a strong team also rewarded Clooney's very outstanding performance and strong chemistry. All the actors in the film have all the acting skills online, and several supporting roles are all outstanding. On the contrary, George Clooney and Ryan Gosling are a little bit unstable.Of course, because these two people are too good-looking, they may be scolded for criticizing their acting. However, I believe that the fans of Hollywood movie stars should not be as terrible as those of domestic fresh and stupid fans?
As the screenwriter, Clooney put all kinds of scandals and unspoken rules in the presidential election process into the film, with all kinds of betrayals, deceptions, intrigues, false feelings, and verbal discourse. He even added a lot of thrilling and suspense to attract the audience's attention. Human nature conflict is enough, and the twists and turns of the story are enough, but it may seem too dramatic and will create a sense of unreality.
However, as Clooney himself said, this is a film discussing human nature and morality. Political nature is just its appearance. This appearance can be Wall Street, sports circle, and film and television industry. I agree very much with this point. To put it bluntly, this film is still exploring moral issues. Of course, if these issues are put on politicians, it is very likely to be infinitely magnified. So wearing a political jacket is more attractive, right?
ending sentence: "The president can use all kinds of tricks to launch wars and destroy the country, but he cannot have relationships with the female intern, otherwise he will be done." Many viewers will definitely think of the former President Clinton. In fact, it is this almost harsh moral standard for politicians that makes them cautious and dare not make mistakes, and that every step behind them is clean. Isn't this the most basic premise for voters to grant them supreme power?
By the way, the beauty Rachel Evan Wood, do you guys look familiar? Yes, she is the female lead in the popular American drama " Westworld ", that beautiful robot!
