I summarize

Dick Cheney (lived by Christian Bale) was chief of staff, secretary of security, and CEO of a large company at this time, or position of non-governmental vice-president of George W. Bush (played by Sam Rockwell). But before gaining fame he was barely um zé ninguém, frequently taken on vitriolic hair.

Apaixonado by Lynne (played by Amy Adams), her love of youth, mãe das suas duas filhas, her great assessora and articulating, Cheney said once his life was rumored and was gradually reaching more and more power in the political atmosphere. North American.

An example of Lynne's political significance can be seen when Cheney ran for Congress for Wyoming. During the campaign, the candidate discovered that he had a beginning of heart attack. Due to the impossibility of her husband to fulfill the commitments of campanha (the doctors have expressly forbidden such an attitude), Lynne assumes the microphones and passes on to make the speeches in his place.

Cheney began his political career in Washington as a direct assessor to Donald Rumsfeld (lived by Steve Carell). Gaining more and more experience and knowing how to move in an expert way, Dick was making some alliances and sewing possible accords.

When George Bush (or pai) was elected president, Cheney reached the position of Secretary of Defense (during the years 1989 and 1993, ou seja, not the period of the first Gulf War). Naquela period, the era or sixth in the line of succession for the presidency.

Or wishing to achieve more power so that Dick will run for more, in order to receive inquiries about voting intentions, he may be more prudent to abandon the plans.

Cheney migrated to a private initiative and became CEO of a large oil company, to Halliburton.

Over the years he passed as a stark protagonist of the political universe that occurred at a great turn of the long history. George W. Bush (or filho), due to his inexperience and the need to go to or from someone who has lived in that universe, invited Cheney to be his vice-president.

Of some importance, Dick was proposed because he perceived as a candidate for the presidency was "green" and how he could take advantage of his little experience to have power.

- Eu quero você de vice. How's it going?

- George… is the CEO of a large company. I was never Minister of Defense and head of the Civil House. A vice-presidency is a symbolic position. But, now... I know people fizer um agreed?

Nessa talks about negotiations, or the future vice president will achieve the autonomy that he desires to manage key areas such as military management and foreign policy.

During the Bush era, between the years 2001 and 2009, there were some major North American crises. On September 11, 2001, the most striking attacks occurred in the Ocidente and, where everyone turned to despair, Cheney found a possibility to send more.

Achieving powers usually attributed exclusively to the president, Cheney advanced in meetings with the CIA and coordinated attacks non-Iraqi military, not Affeganistão in countries of the Middle East that he accredits to be, in some way, linked to or attacks.

Giving new interpretations to the civil codes during the period in which he is in charge of the vice presidency, he authorized to the realization of torture sessions and a series of illegal procedures to continue in front of the investigations.

He was two major articulators of the war and commanding a black period in North American history, which the film denounces as abuse of administration and power.

Controversial, ambitious, many times with scruples questionáveis, or Cheney by Adam McKay is a personagem complex and multifaceted that feared his career lowered over the last two hours of the film biography.

Analyze Vice

Dick Cheney was escolhido or mais novo chief of the cabinet of history! And incredible. É um sonho. It's real.

A story told in Vice It narrates the rise of a common subject who ended up reaching a very powerful position in a North American context.

We will now see some particularities of the longa that fizeram do film a peculiar produção:

A history interspersed with a metaphor two animais

At dinner, when the new chief of staff decides to verify exactly how much power or president he had, Dick goes to the Office of Legal Counsel and affirms that he would like to reinstate the Executive Authorities.

Quem meets with Dick and Antonin Scalia, a fairly young advocate of the Department of Justice who later went on to become a member of the Supreme Court.

He who presents a political year to the theory of the executive unit. Second Scalia, has an interpretation given to the law conferring the president or direct power of the Absolute Executive Authority. Scalia sublinha to expressão Absolute Power.

Some jurists, including Scalia, read this reading of the second article of the Constitution. A interpretation gives the president a supreme power as or what you laugh, ditators and pharaohs tinham: to command and dismantle, start wars, concentrate on his absolute authority.

A camera nesse moment of dialogue between Scalia and Cheney approaches highlighting or shocked smile of Dick diante responds that he ouviu of Scalia. A dinner that follows is an image of a caça:

The insertion of the image is apparently out of context and a metaphor for running and competition for dominance. Dick would probably be represented with a leão hair, which runs behind his prey in order to reach his final goal: or power.

A second animal metaphor appears when George W. Bush chama Dick in his writing for you to talk about a possible partnership. The idea was to transform Cheney into vice-president.

A long year of dialogue is interspersed with images of the water fund, with a little boy swimming around a slightly light surface. When George W. Bush finally faces the question that Dick wants so much to ouvir ("Do you want to be vice-president?"), The image that appears is a little guy na fishing, throwing or anzol for water:

A metaphor also appears later, when you two are talking about the possibility of the vice presidency. Dick advances in his speech arguing that he is the CEO of a large company and that he has never held important political positions, being vice president in a merely symbolic position.

This is the occasion that he launched his condition to be vice-president. His demand from him is that he have access to power and crucial decisions such as foreign policy and military action. When George agrees as a plan, the image of the fish is taken up again and the peixe morte isca.

Competition and ambition

Lynne, not the beginning of the film, in a meeting with politicians, sums up the sensation that she feared about the house:

The goal of the room wants to be us, another goal is afraid of us.

Over the course of the film we see how Dick Cheney's verdict on the woman seems to sum up a couple's history.

Or house that knows how to walk meanders us gives politics and enjoys the network of contacts that it creates and is simultaneously loved, invented and feared.

Before any political alliance, Dick and Lynne had a deeply established agreement between the two of you. Além de husband and woman and their companions do not work and articulate together or the future of the family in the country.

When he was invited to be vice-president, Lynne initially objected, claiming that her husband has never held much more important positions to conform to this symbolic post. But, bet back to the meeting with George W. Bush, Cheney reflects on or subject and notes that:

No one showed the world or the true power of the American Presidency.

Metaficção, or film within the film

47 minutes of Vice The credits are given to giving the viewer the idea that the film ended. This supposed film would be closed in 1999 and would register a pontual period of Cheney's life: the entry for politics and some pontifical aspects of his biography of him.

To music and to disposition of images and text, it seems that it is about a story with a happy ending. We went to see or destination two personagens Lynne, for example, and described as having published a series of Free, Dick, for the time being, outlines your heart problem, or casal ganha netos and take advantage of a room peaceful.

When the viewer begins to prove that the famous film has been locked up, a new dinner appears, after mentioning the new phase of Dick's life, with an alliance with George W. Bush. How the film is divided into two parts: a Cheney more new and more inexperienced and a more ambitious and mature.

The politician leaves aside his chamber, his stability and his anonymity to occupy the place of vice-president of the United States, usurping, many times, the power of his own president.
