剧情介绍
介绍在约翰逊总统任期内，美国逐步卷入越南战争的过程。
A portrayal of the Johnson presidency and its spiraling descent into the Vietnam War. Acting on often conflicting advice from his Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara and other advisers, President Johnson finds his domestic policy agenda for the Great Society overtaken by an ever demanding commitment to ending the war. It also depicts his political skills as he crosses swords with political foes such as Bobby Kennedy and Governor George Wallace. Despite support and encouragement from stalwart friends such as Clark Clifford, Johnson realizes his management of the war no longer has the confidence of the American people and announces that he will not seek the nomination of the Democratic party for the the 1968 election.
一边无休止地增兵、轰炸，一边一本正经地看图、讨论如何避免平民伤亡，骑虎难下的是对美国太平洋警察角色的难以割舍、对反对党借机炒作的畏惧和恋栈。是真是假，无人承担对战争计划的核定和调整，乱纷纷你方唱罢我登场。
喜欢刚本爵士对约翰逊的演绎，视角务实，从顶层设计看美国陷入越战泥淖。

没人想卷入战争，美国是一步一步的，被拖入越战泥沼，总统的每个决定在旁观的我们看来，都那么无奈
旁观者看来都是一秒一秒的切肤之痛，林登约翰逊总统在放弃中期选举不久，就在1973年去世了。吃得苦中苦，方为人上人，这两句话不是因果，而是互为条件，太残酷。

咋跟斯通的尼克松这么像呢。。
還行，咋少人看和提起？
很少有这么直接透过白宫最高层视角来反映越战的片子，非常精彩，扮演罗斯托的人非常神，这片子是花了功夫的。
