Her husband, the senator, as he winds up and does his thing. And its such a brilliant scene. I mean, its brilliant just in terms of the writing and in terms of whats happening in the plot, but so brilliant in the way its shot because even though shes in the room with him while he is causing this scene, shes physically in the same space as him, you can see the way its shot, that shes not actually looking at him in person. Shes paying attention to the screen, which you can also see in her field of vision. On the screen, she can see what he looks like on camera, on leave television, as he pulls off this stunt in a congressional hearing room with the secretary of defense. It is such a great scene. And yes, the guy you will sort of recognize halfway into it, is in fact frank sinotary, and hes amazing in this movie. This has been my Favorite Movie since i was a teenager for a reason. Just watch this. Mr. Secretary, i have a question, sir. Who are you, sir . I am United States senator john ic

She is the wife of an increasingly highprofile u. S. Senator, but you soon learned that he is a puppet, she is the one pulling all the strings. Here is a clip. You can see angela lens buried here. You see her quiet evil satisfaction, while she was knowingly watching, her her husband senator wind up and do his thing. It is a brilliant scene. It is brilliant just in terms of the rioting and in terms of what is happening in the plot, but its brilliant in the terms of how it shot.
