美国总统:关于总统和幕僚长

总统应该像一头争气凌然的雄狮,幕僚长是狡黠而老谋深算的。

看过 West Wing的同学们都知道,Martin Sheen 就是那么一头狮子,而 Douglas从形象上也总是让人觉得与总统的角色不那么相称。

可能是导演的故意为之,明知不可为而为之的安排让两个类型演员做了一次人物角色性格上的突破吧。

Widower 总统娶妻,与另外一部同时期的总统电影Dave相比,感觉更像是一部温馨浪漫的爱情电影。这也许是为什么导演选择道格拉斯作男一号的原因吧。

《纽约时报》网站上,有这么一句评语,个人觉得评价得十分中肯:

...

However easy this film makes it look to be Commander in Chief, "The American President" makes it clear that keeping the fizz in happily escapist comedy is tricky. Despite the presence of Frank Capra 3d as first assistant director and a nod to his grandfather in the dialogue (Sydney, first visiting the White House on business: "I'm trying to savor the Capraesque quality"), this film can't match the blitheness that was possible in more innocent times.

...

Fine movie though.
