Dick Cheney: I can feel your recriminations. And your judgment. And I am fine with it. You want to be loved, go be a movie star. The world is as you find it, you gotta deal with* that reality, and there are monsters in this world.

From Vice, 2018

*Deal with: “Deal with” is an expression that implies handling or managing a situation, a problem, or a task. It often encompasses actions such as addressing issues, finding solutions, or simply confronting a matter, and can also refer to coping with emotions or difficulties effectively.

“Vice” is a film about the life story of Dick Cheney, the 46th Vice President of the United States and a leading neoconservative. It develops complex political narratives through satire, keeping it engaging and far from boring. 

Movie Review

Kang Eseudeo: I could see that the moment a person takes real power is to seize the opportunity of the moment well. I think Dick Cheney’s strong will to power leads to the decision he made when the president was absent, and it made a mark in history. ★★★★☆

Kim Chan-mi: The growth in his political life was obvious, being recognized for his reticence and loyalty, and learning how to exercise his power. I think his accumulated experiences have created the most powerful Vice President in American history. ★★★★☆

Kim Jeong-hyeon: Throughout the movie, I could see a quiet person trying to grasp other people’s disposition to try to find out what they want. Sometimes I think acting after a long and hard time will bring better results than acting quickly. ★★★★★

Im Ji-seong: Not only did Dick Cheney change his life, but I think his wife played a huge role, having him come to his senses and start a political career. We always have to remember how influential one can be to others. ★★★★★
