Roman Mars: 罗伯特·摩西的职业生涯起起伏伏,早期提案失败,后凭借个人能力和政治手腕获得巨大权力,主导了纽约州大量公共工程项目,包括公园、公园大道和高速公路的建设。他善于利用权力,但也采取了腐败和不正当的手段,损害了部分人的利益。他的公众形象与实际作为存在巨大差异,早期被视为英雄,后期则因其专制和不公正而受到批评。他与政治人物的关系复杂,既有支持者也有敌人,最终在与洛克菲勒州长的冲突中失去权力。他的工程项目对纽约市交通和城市发展产生了深远的影响,既有积极方面也有消极方面。他与家人的关系疏远,个人性格复杂,既有远见卓识,也有小气和专横。他的权力巅峰时期,控制了曼哈顿岛的进出通道,并利用公共机构谋取私利。后期,他的行为受到媒体和公众的质疑,最终被剥夺权力。
