Directed by George Clooney
Screenplay by George Clooney & Grant Heslov
A friend once said "Words, words, words... only just words - show me your heart by your actions". Nothing could be truer than in the game of politics. This film had me hmm-ing all the way through it! It seems the political system is forecasted to continue as it always has - new leader, same words, corrupt action - a snapshot of the current world political leaders set in a microcosm of the USA. Will "we" ever learn to discriminate hype from policy?
A brilliant script by Clooney et al, and naturally brilliantly acted by Clooney as soon-to-be destined President of United States Mike Morris and naive presidential believer Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling). Phillip Seymour Hoffman as political adviser Paul Zara and Paul Giamatti as opposition candidate adviser Tom Duffy also play definitive roles in this way too believable story arc.
To say I loved this film would be wrong - it made me sad. It is, however a powerful awakening to really listen to what is being put "out there" from global leaders.
Showing nationally, Dendy and Palace Cinemas.
