  1. Not sure if you know the movie "Chicago" with Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere. She plays a woman who had kind of hoped to sleep her way up, when realizing she was just abused by that guy for some quick sex, she shoots him. While she manages to sell it to her husband as self-defense and he willingly take the blame and tells the police that he shoot the guy, the police is a bit smarter than that and know that she was with that guy for quite a while and that is was clearly not robbery, so she ends in prison and likely waiting for life - or even death sentence. Richard Gere meanwhile acts as a lawyer who plays all nice and handsome, but in the end just wants to be paid and is a master in manipulation, epecially of the press he uses to forge to public opinion and by that create pressure on the legal system.. One genious musical number is a press conference they give, wher he mainly tells her to keep her mouth shut and only say some lines to make her look like pure, innocent and the victim, while he tells the story of the monster who tried to murder her and she just reached for the gun, too and was simply lucky enough to have gotten it before him. While Zellweger sits on his lap as puppet and just making her lips move, behind him a whole chorus of press puppets sit who in the end repeat the chorus he had given them "Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both reached for the gun". Someone could easily make a version of it for Ukraine, Zelenskyy as Zellweger, NATO as Richard Gere, the shot guy is Russia and the press just stays the press.
