不管是一还是二，始终导演的思路就是围绕2个主题，一是国家，二是思想。第一部国家懦弱而被欺凌，民众思想愚昧，到第二部，则变成因为国家懦弱所以我们要革命，因为民众思想愚昧，所以要打倒白莲教，破除愚昧，我想这也是导演能别开生面将孙文与黄飞鸿这两个人能结合到一起的重要因素。这里面最让我感动的依旧是承接着第一部的国家层面，在这一部里面表现在陆皓东身上，当他向孩子们说熬过这个夜晚，你们就是朝阳，当孙文拿起陆皓东拼命救出来的青天白日旗‘看那朝阳照我土’，真的是又忍不住热泪盈眶，正是因为这么多为了拯救国家无私牺牲自己的革命者才会有后面的我们，致敬！这一部从武术观赏性上没有第一部那么好看，都是李连杰打小喽喽，如果能甩起长枪来那是真的帅，本来期待甄子丹能和李连杰决战，然后布棍让我眼前一亮，但是这死的太随便了吧。断断续续总算看完，对斯通式的政治传记陷入了双重疲劳：太长，太强加。所谓强加，除标志性的素材混搭虚实交替镜头快闪，更在霍普金斯对尼克松的刻画过分倒向童年阴影所造成的神经质的一面，无论对话还是沉思，总感觉此公随时可能冒汗瘫软脸色苍白，然后被强住在汉尼拨的隔壁。但必须意识到，这份夸张却是斯通有意美化尼克松，因为只有将其塑造成情感丰富精神缺陷的值得同情的个体，才能将更符合九十年代后冷战意识形态的批判矛头转向自家体制。就像林肯纪念堂那场重头戏的对白所言，“原来你也驾驭不了？你说的好像一头野兽。”而这个失控体系的真正主宰者，是以胡佛和赫姆斯为代表的阴狠技术官僚，他们名义上服从总统，实则自据一套驾驭美国的“中情局政策”。与赫姆斯讨价还价一场戏，我们甚至已从尼克松略显惶恐的眼神中隐隐猜测出了肯尼迪之死的……Prom Pact is set at the height of prom season. High school senior Mandy Coleman and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben are surrounded by over-the-top '80s-themed Promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out her acceptance has been deferred, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself off the waitlist, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors - popular all-star jock Graham Lansing, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham's tutor, she begins to realize there's more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
