City Hall/市政大厅

This is a good movie to understand American politic. It is impossible to simply define politic as cheating or something similar; it is like some game, but some dangerous game. Politician always want to show something shining to the public, but they also have to hide something dirty; in order to hide something dirty, they may do something dirty.

There is no simple right or wrong. Everything politicians do may benefit someone, but also may harm someone else. Every senior politician is a master of balance: he/she has to balance among different groups of people, to balance the news broadcasting and propaganda, to balance the government's interests and the public welfare, and last but not least, to balance between the good and the evil in their minds.
