من سيكتفي بالابتسام فقط عند إطار الصورة

this quote excerpted from "House of Cards" said by Francis Edward who would do anything to reach his goal & be president of the US.
"Power is a lot like real estate. It's all about location, location, location. The closer you are to the source, the higher your property value. Centuries from now, when people watch this footage, who will they see smiling just at the edge of the frame?

إذن هو يتحدث عن الموقع في السلطة و عدم الاكتفاء بمركز أقل من الرئيس
the point is that "try to be & stay in central position" to be the focus, not to be just at the edge of the frame smiling without even showing your teeth......

بعد قرون من الأن حين يشاهد الناس هذه اللقطة ،عندها من سيرونه يبتسم فقط عند حافة إطار الصورة؟

يقصد : حينها يا ترى من الذي سيراه الناس مبتسما في بؤرة الصورة ( و يكون بؤرة الاهتمام) و من سيكتفي بالابتسام عند حافة اطار الصورة؟! ! hope this helps
