《一路到底》(All the Way, dir. Jay Roach, 2016)是HBO電視網投拍的一部關于美國第36任總統林登·約翰遜的傳記電影,改編自申坎(Robert Schenkkan)的同名戲劇。2016年5月21日在HBO電視網首播后,《一路到底》受到影評人的高度評價,克蘭斯頓(Brian Cranston)飾演的約翰遜尤其得到贊揚,并獲得電視評論家協會獎和黃金時段艾米獎多項提名。
與大多數名人傳記片試圖將人物一生的主要經歷展示給觀眾不同,《一路到底》聚焦于約翰遜從1963年11月因肯尼迪遇刺而繼任美國總統到1964年11月贏得美國總統大選短短一年的時光,涉及當時眾多的政界名人,并且以《民權法案》艱難的立法過程為中心展現約翰遜的性格特征和美國當時的政治生態,仿佛壓縮版的《紙牌屋》(House of Cards)。

林登·約翰遜其人其事
林登·約翰遜(1908—1973),1961—1963年美國第37任副總統,1963—1969年美國第36任總統。早在20世紀50年代在美國參議院擔任少數黨和多數黨領袖期間,約翰遜就以強勢作風著稱,在推進立法的過程中經常使用脅迫手段迫使有影響的議員妥協就范。1963年11月,肯尼迪總統遇刺身亡,時任副總統的約翰遜宣誓就任美國第36任總統,并于翌年11月戰勝共和黨總統候選人戈德華特,贏得大選的勝利,任職到1969年。
Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908—January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was an American politician who served as the 36th President of the United States from 1963 to 1969, assuming the office after serving as the 37th Vice President of the United States from 1961 to 1963. As a leader in the Senate, Johnson became known for his domineering(盛氣凌人的)personality and the “Johnson treatment”, his aggressive coercion(脅迫)of powerful politicians to advance legislation. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas, and died the same day while hospitalized; Johnson succeeded Kennedy as president. The following year, Johnson won a landslide(壓倒性的勝利)in 1964 presidential election, defeating Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona.
在任期間,約翰遜設計了“偉大社會”的立法和改革計劃,不遺余力地推進美國在民權、公共廣播、醫療保障、教育、藝術、城鄉發展和公共服務方面的立法。借助于其在任期間的經濟增長,他著名的“向貧窮開戰”計劃使得數百萬美國人脫離了貧困。……
