All the King's Men (2006)

Nail em up! Nail em up! People yell following Willie Stark ( cast by Sean Penn). He, a man of integrity and passion, lost his job for his honest. He’s now throwing his hat in the ring of governor of State LOUISIANA. He won supports from the poor as he did what they wanted，food, roads, bridges, new schools and so forth. He kept Tiny together with him to remind him of something he never gonna forget. He’s god damn a genius. As he said “when they come around, sweet talking, don’t listen.”, he chose the opponent side from Tiny.
Jack Burden (cast by Jude Law), a journalist gave Willie Stark great help and became his assistant after he quit his job. Why did Willie choose him? He’s talented, handsome，a hard working guy? Or he had helped Willie when he’s working in the press. I have no idea. Maybe he stood the upper ten or he had some relationship. His godfather (Starred by Anthony Hopkins), is Judge Irwin. In fact he is his father not godfather. Jack heard that from his mother after he “killed” father. Then he found the truth and all the past.
What is the hell politic? Cheating? Fighting? Money? Honor?
This film is reduplication of the Best Movie of Oscar in 1949. It is interesting that the director and the writer have never seen the original one.
Some words from the film:
Time brings all things to light.
To find something, anything, a great truth or a lost pair of glasses, you must first believe there will be some advantage in finding it.
You only get a couple of moments that determine you life, sometimes only one. And then it’s gone, forever.
What you don’t know won’t hurt you.While I don’t agree with the last word which Jack said. More details can be found in the “Sacred Bull”.
