How to evaluate the <House of Cards> in the fifth season
The fifth season in the drama, in the story and shooting style, can be said to be the most heavy, to the audience psychological and thinking the most stressful one. Of course it can be said to be "boring". In this season, the Andwood couple is like a mud in the line.
What is the greatest power? What is the right person will be?
"House of Cards" is about a decent drama. In the first four seasons, the answer to the audience was clear: the president had the greatest power. The president of the United States is the right to dump the world. In the first four seasons, we saw the Underwood couple walking all the way to the summit of American power: the president and vice president. So what about the president? The fifth season of the trailer, through Underwood's confession, intended to give the audience a misleading, the Underwood couples seem to abolish the presidential co-system, ask the country forever. As if the last episode of the fifth season was the Underwood ceremony. The The After reading the fifth season can only say that imagination is not enough.
In Underwood's campaign opponent, the Republican Conway couple is a good example. Conway is young and muscular, and once the Air Force pilots. In the first episode of the fifth season, Underwood did not find the final killer to Conway like the last quarter of Dengber as easy to solve, but dragged into a protracted war. But the Conway couple until the fifth quarter of the defeat in appearance, to the audience what is the impression?
Two words: useless.
That is, when the pawn of the pieces. It is no exaggeration, campaign manager Mark called Conway sitting, standing on the station, shut up to shut up. The moment did not rest, so to whom to call who call. Members are waiting at the door when they meet behind the door, and they are mocked again. Protracted war played psychological collapse burst a few foul language, was to handle, and finally betrayed by their own manager.
Conway was a very promising presidential candidate, but he did not touch the power from start to finish. So how did the Underwood couple perform in this season?
Although they have reached the peak of power, but in this episode, they are far from the previous few quarters of the scenery and sailing. In this season, Underwood fell into an unprecedented struggle, fighting, melee. The seat of the president is not stable, and there is always someone to do it, Underwood later awakened: even if he was not impeached, even if he killed the declaration of war commission and the beard, there will be someone else to kill him, his tenure will struggle to survive.
And the real right of the big boss, appeared in the second half of the fifth quarter.
She is Jane-Davis. Jane-Davis appeared on the face of the trash, the nuclear material leak crisis appeared as if inadvertently and the Secretary of State into the anti-nuclear basement, into the next after a loss of action, coupled with insignificant position (Under Secretary Of Commerce for International Trade Secretary for Commerce, International Trade Ministry of Commerce?) The feeling to the audience is that the old lady is not located in the center of power, just an outsider.But with the development of the story, Davis's ability is unpredictable. When he caught the terrorist leader Amati, he said to Claire that there were several organizations rushing to catch Amati. But today no organization can catch him. Must not be caught before the election. The sentence contains information and hints: she knows who wants to catch Amati. She knew they could not catch it. She did not catch it. A business minister, far in the White House, what is the message so well-informed? Later, Davis really needs to be in politics when the mouth, for Claire presented Amati's head. Then again, Davis and Mark's dialogue in the clear, Frank is not the gold master is good (Frank is not where the money at). And Claire also hinted that Frank was not in control, and she (and the clients behind him) were more willing to cooperate with Claire.
Our Underwood climbed the four seasons and finally climbed to the top, but found that the greater power was outside the White House And Claire got his wish to get the throne of the president, his own handle was helped her captain grasped firmly. Mark will be her vice president, she has no choice. And after the inauguration who is the final say, she is Mark or Davis, and then obviously.
That is why Underwood finally planned a vote, willing to resign. And Claire's dialogue has been made clear: he is to be outside and Claire should be outside, exclusive of the entire power system. This is a bigger pattern. However, Claire did not realize this, the pattern and her husband compared to the difference is not the slightest bit.
In the end, she said to the camera: turn me (my turn). In fact, she is up to Conway second only. At the end of the play, Underwood's ultimate boss is clear: Jane-Davis, and Mark Ash. This is the ultimate version of the mirror of the Underwood couple. The same man and a woman, a principal in the White House (Mark vice president) a person outside the White House remote control, its place is Frank's ultimate layout. However, Claire has a fatal handle in the hands, may not forgive Frank, and Frank has a prison disaster, the two networks may not be compared with the Davis duo.
In short, the sixth season will be extremely difficult battle.
