Brexit: The Unreasonable Battle
Director : Toby · Haines
Writers : James Graham
Starring : Benedict · Cumberbatch / Lee · Bodman / Oliver · Mortman / Malcolm · Freeman
Co-produced by HBO and Channel 4, it focuses on the Brexit referendum, one of the most controversial government referendums in modern history.
Britain joined the European Community in 1973 but has always pursued a policy of non-intervention in the affairs of the continent, known as "glorious isolation", and is not a eurozone country, retaining its own independent currency. Due to various divergent interests, the voice of Brexit has been continuous.
In 2013, then-British Prime Minister David Cameron promised a referendum on Brexit.
On 23 June 2016, after 15 hours of voting, voters who supported Brexit accounted for 52% of the total number of votes. Voters who supported Remain in europe had 48% of the vote.
After Britain announced its departure from the European Union, then-Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation and officially stepped down on July 13.
It was like a vigorous farce, which made the people who ate melons drop their jaws in shock.
Benedict · Cumberbatch plays Dominique, the leader of the Brexiteers, in the film. Cummings.
Speaking of Benny, although this long-faced British actor does not have the handsomeness in the traditional aesthetic sense, he has become the benchmark of the British male god in the public's heart with his extraordinary acting skills and personality charm.
brainy is the new sexy. This sentence is Irene's evaluation of The Fortune in "Sherlock", and it is also very suitable for Benny, who is the most beautiful meme on this street, and every pleat is sexy bubbling.
From "Sherlock" to "Doctor Strange", his high cold, high intelligence, and god mouth cannon image are deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Not only that, he has also played many historical legends.

A veritable "genius professional".
Now his "legendary resume" has added another stroke.
Dominica · Cummings, chief strategist and director of the "vote leave" organisation, was appointed by the UK General Election Committee as the official campaign organiser for the Brexit referendum and ultimately triumphed.

Benny's shape looks like this ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ quite reductive ...
The title of the film should be called "Hair Loss" by netizens. The British male gods can not escape the fate of the hairline, for the work, Benny experienced in advance, heartache.
Interestingly, Benny himself is a staunch Remainer who has issued an open letter calling on the public to support Britain's stay in the EU in the referendum.
Cummings led the Brexit campaign, but most people don't know him, and people put the credit on Foreign Secretary Boris.
Cummings was invited out of the mountains when he retired from politics, and then quietly left after the end. He ignores fame and fortune, does not want power, does not seem to be as ambitious as other politicians, and his motivation may be hidden in the Brexit slogan: "take back control".
Benny is really a good fit for this kind of role, the torturous devil speed of speech, maverick arrogance, unsociable personality, impeccable logical thinking ability, he is simply familiar with the performance, and he is very familiar with the performance.
The film is only 92 minutes long, but it is clear how this referendum on the fate of the country came to that jaw-dropping ending.
Cummings' killer is an online data analytics company – an aggregate think tank. He aggregated a billion targeted ads to voters by aggregating think tanks, successfully pulled three million potential voters who didn't exist in any voter database into his camp, and finally defeated the Remainers by 4%.
In the Internet age, the people who know you best are not yourself, but big data. Your every move you make online leaves traces, and this data exposes personal information such as your social circle, choice preferences, and psychological state.
bbc has reported that by analyzing the 10 likes of social media users, the system will understand you more accurately than your colleagues; collect 150 likes, the degree of understanding will exceed your parents; more than 300 likes data, you can beat your closest partner.
In the face of big data, each of us has nothing to hide.
Study the people's inner needs, emotional resonance, faith and dreams, and targeted push advertising. Such a precise special promotion, I am afraid that not many people can resist. Publicity will unconsciously affect the user's way of thinking, subtly changing their judgment.
Another team leader for the Brexiteers, Aaron Banks also hired a data firm that specializes in target voters – Cambridge Analytica.
Aggregate think tanks and Cambridge Analytica have collaborated with billionaire businessman Robert S. Mercer was related, and he later became Donald S. The biggest donor to Trump's presidential campaign.
It's a real-life version of Black Mirror, and it's a shame how easily we think free will and democracy are manipulated.
The film begins and ends with a prediction of the 2020 investigation of Cummings.
"You're wrong, your predictions, your optimism about leaving the EU, are flawed, right?"
"It's a decades-long project, decades!"
"I didn't see this sign on the bus."
There is no flaw in the idea, it is the people who are flawed. Politicians messed up and ruined everything. "
The impact of Brexit continues today, and the choices made by the British themselves can only be carried out by themselves.
