小镇市长克莱蒙丝任期将至,贫穷、失业问题仍像毒瘤般侵蚀城市命脉。她与忠诚的左右手亚吉跑基层,竭尽所能在政治利益与人民福祉之间居中协调,力求实践政治承诺,然而城市依然笼罩在阴霾之下。这天,克莱蒙丝迎来高升部长的大好时机,她却突发奇想打破当初竞选连任的承诺。她的高洁情操与政治野心陷入挣扎,到底该选择赢得民心,还是换取更辉煌的政治生命? 受到选举启发,法国导演托马斯·克鲁伊托夫在日常的政治中搬演政治的日常,找来甫获柏林影展荣誉金熊奖的法国影后伊莎贝.雨蓓饰演高深莫测的小镇市长,细细铺排政客间的各怀鬼胎,政治究竟是治理众人之事,还是满足个人的权力游戏? “政治的世界里,承诺就是交易的货币。 ”――托马斯·克鲁伊托夫。This very Kafka-esque film is Keaton's response to the Fatty Arbuckle scandal.[citation needed] Even though the central character's intentions are good, he cannot win, no matter how inventively he tries. He gets into various scraps with police officers throughout the film. Eventually, he unwittingly throws a bomb into a police parade and ends up being chased by a horde of cops.
At the end of the film, Keaton's character locks up the cops in the police station. However, the girl he is trying to woo disapproves of his behavior and gives him the cold shoulder. Therefore, he unlocks the police station and is immediately pulled in by the cops. The film ends with the title "The End" written on a tombstone with Keaton's pork pie hat propped on it.
One of Keaton's most iconic and brilliantly-constructed short films, Cops was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry in 1997.。《周末出片大会·东山专场》串联海边音乐会、露营集市、美食打卡,以全新综艺形态呈现东山独特生活方式体验。。
