《风起云涌》影迷点评

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？

爱死这片子了。我最喜欢的女演员和我最喜欢的男演员搭档，导演也差不多能进我最爱的前十了(好吧，只是英文导演前十)。爱玛和JT在这里都太可爱了，而且特别般配，捎带着，都觉得克林顿夫妇也挺可爱的了……

「You said, "Our job is to end all that. Our job is to make it clean. Because if it's clean, we win. Because our ideas are better." You remember that? → We were young. We didn't know how the world worked. Now we know.」

编剧伊莲梅与导演尼科尔斯年轻时是热门电视双人脱口秀的铁搭档；影片左倾色彩相当浓厚，剧本竭尽诡辩之能事为当时的拉链门主人公解套脱困，“……难道因为希特勒从来没有正眼瞅过艾娃以外的任何一个女人，就能证明他比斯坦顿（屈伏塔扮演的总统候选人），或者杰佛逊、肯尼迪，或者我们助选过的那些管不住老二的男人更好？”

很会讲故事，两个半小时不觉得长。它告诉大家政治就是一坨屎，让你失去梦想，背离朋友亲人，曾热爱的一切，甚至让你跨越道德底线。然后呢？理想主义者们疯了，死了，失去理想的人仍旧借着梦想的名义站在舞台中央。问题出在结尾的仓促，表意不清，使得整个主题突然陷入混沌

在这个电影里政治就像是一个游戏，一群乌合之众群殴斗法，各自为阵，试图一手遮住自己的屁股一手扯掉对方的裤子，助选幕僚就是后面忙着给他们擦屁股的人。说什么，别当真，just a game.最后，约翰·特拉沃尔塔从低俗小说走到总统候选人靠的都是一股深沉的痞气，要的就是这个流氓劲儿，赞！
