That’s why he offered nothing. So, he did her a favor and kept it a secret. You happen to find yourself at the sharp end of the real world at the age of twenty-nothing.Cut to Peterson Wyatt, the “boutique law firm with a bi-partisan Government Affairs division” where Sloane has stolen away to with her old team from Cole, Kravitz and Waterman. All Rights Reserved. :). I plan to just give the skeletal overarching structure of what is going on. At least they did for me anyway. As he puts it , he is not the enemy.In the senate hearing final scene he realises the enormity of what she has done. A true David and Goliath story. Thanks for the recap and thoughts. We do not see the note on screen, but she says after reading it “ I don’t know whether I should be insulted or flattered” because it says – for services rendered fee is $0. But yeah, she was an amazing character to watch unfold.I mean…what happened to her to make her who…I mean, how…you know what I mean.But there’s something that ticks me off: the soundtrack of “Miss Sloane” is almost exactly the same as the one from the movie “Passengers”. But this particular movie was striving for realism, and so we, the judging audience required at least some stay in jail… even if it was shortened by good behavior.If that makes sense at all. Sperling being corrupt DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH her wrongdoings, no matter the intention(s).I would also add that from a Hollywood Morality requirements standpoint, anyone that does good, but does it illegally still has to pay. And sure enough, ladies and gentlemen, our esteemed head of the committee Congressman Sperling was bribed into convening this exact hearing. Right? Miss Sloane Ending Explained. Jessica Chastain plays a woman that is out for blood by always playing her ace after the other side has played their ace, over and over again. She is one who probably alerts Sloane that her old firm know about the move on Florida thus getting Sloane to have her team followed to find out who is the leak. But when taking on the most powerful opponent of her career, she finds winning may come at too high a price.In the high-stakes world of political power-brokers, Elizabeth Sloane (Jessica Chastain) is the most sought after and formidable lobbyist in D.C. I wasn’t happy how the movie ended. Just enough so that when we talk through the ending in detail we have a half decent idea of what it is that I’m talking about. But once you see them all in order it should help clear up a few of the confusing bits of this movie. I didn’t get Jane thing. Other than “winning” what was her motivation?Reply to Claire (January 2018): Liz wasn’t listening in on the meeting — there wasn’t enough time. I TOTALLY LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! But I have read the script just because I adored the banter so very much (thankfully it was blacklisted, and was easily available. During which debate, Sloane completely off message and starts downplaying the Constitution completely. I liked the way it turned out that in the cutthroat world of DC, and specifically lobbists, they portrayed Ford, the male escort as someone who made a choice of high morals. Now I get it but…1 thibg occurred to me duribg the film that wasbt touched on that makes me wonder again…is it just me. In the make up room Esme realises how devious and ruthless Elizabeth is in her planning –at the Chicago airport when Elizabeth arrives to talk to her after the attempted murder, Esme says “you know for a moment I thought you set it up”. Thanks for this wrap up of the ending. When the others explain Cynthia wanted to further her career, she pointed out that she was asking about Elizabeth. Not to let anybody close to you at all and to feel so very comfortable in not needing to connect deeply on a social level… I guess it doesn’t matter for the story, but it matters when it comes to her and her cold heart.Oh yeah, totally know what you mean. I thought it was an excellent movie as well. !I watched this movie in theatres and on Amazon prime and the original ending was altered. It was planned ahead of time.Sloane wasn’t a past victim of gun crime. Your writing is amazing. Which, would prove to be the hearing’s downfall.Sloane opens by talking about how she broke the ethics code by how she treated her co-workers and her friends. It reminded me of another great movie. But when she takes on the most powerful opponent of her career, she finds that winning may come at too high a price.Elizabeth Sloane (Jessica Chastain) is a cutthroat lobbyist who has been called to appear at a congressional hearing led by Senator Ronald Sperling (John Lithgow) to answer questions about possible violations of Senate ethics rules during her tenure at Washington D.C. lobbying firm Cole Kravitz and Waterman.. Still, “Miss Sloane” remains mildly entertaining hokum dressed up in the trappings of topicality, particularly because the cast, under the characteristically astute direction of veteran John Madden, play it with such relish. 2 years ago. It would have been too simple. I didn’t understand the relationship between Cole and between Peterson. But you know what, although you helped us greatly… we owe you nothing for that help. And it’s a MUST watch if you even know who Aaron Sorkin is. Hahahah. ?What was the reason Sloane called Jane and Jane would not acknowledge the caller ?I thought he was a set up by Cole too but it back fired cos he ended up liking her. Even if I’m wrong on this point, I do think this was a movie about the bigger problems in politics and our country.
Great comments explaining so many of the missing pieces that I was noodling over. Now they needed to find someone who would push the hearing, which made them vulnerable to the taping.I agree with the observation that the note in the envelope was the original note that Sloane received Rudolpho.I am in the camp that Sloane spots Forde as the person picking her up, hence the surprise.
