面对困境还能云淡风轻，面对质疑还能避重就轻，面对诋毁还能谈笑风生，这才是领导力！

政治批判类型的正剧，明显是在影射克林顿夫妇，叙事很稳，人物刻画也极佳，但内容和技法上都有点过时，电影整体显得冗长和呆板。

美国大选政治战斗过程，伴随竞选过程的是个人的黑色历史和挣扎决斗。

3星半，漂亮国的政治选举就是一场权力的游戏，为此不惜拼的你死我活，无所不用其极，理想与正直在此刻完全泯灭。影片所传递出的主题思想明显是在影射彼时的Clinton，连特拉沃尔塔的造型都如此相像。

This is the price you pay to lead. You don’t think Abraham Lincoln was a whore before he was a president? He had to tell his stories and smile his shit-eating, back-country grin. He did it so he would one day have the opportunity to stand in front of the nation and appeal to “ the better angels of our nature.” 竞选从来是肮脏的政治游戏，胜出者到底是不是还能守住承诺、守住理想主义？
