《权力的堡垒 第一季》下载观后评论:
第一集就引入了堡垒的概念,这个剧也是单刀直入啊!政治不过是权衡各个团体的利益,亦如围城。新闻理想,政治理想,片中最不缺的可能就是理想主义者。但是剧中一次又一次的妥协却又限制了他们理想信念的执行。政治的走向就像是蝴蝶效应,一个小小的走向的偏差,会带来迥然不同的结果。精彩的政治片,讲述了不同利益团体的争斗,讲述了针锋相对中的妥协,讲述了工作家庭的矛盾,讲述了一个又一个曾改变世界的人们的心路历程。这部剧把那些高高在上的人拉到了我们普通人的眼前,原来他们也要操心每天的生活,他们也要操心家人。可能和普通人区分开的唯一一点是,他们的心智,比一般人要强大许多。另:心疼kasper,u deserve a better one!
