... View MoreFrom the moment I first saw this movie, back when it aired on HBO, I have hailed this as one of the greatest TV movies of all time.Following the campaign trail of John McCain and his crazy running mate Sarah Palin, we are introduced to behind the scenes and it is done remarkably well. Say what you want about the real Palin but this film portrays a pretty accurate film, according to sources.It doesn't bad mouth her per se, it's showing more about how ignorant she was and how she didn't seem to know anything about politics. You may be saying, "Well, then you're a liberal!" and you would be right but this isn't why I liked this film. I liked this film because the writing was spectacular, the acting was so superb that there were times I forgot I was watching Julianne Moore and not the real Palin.Of course this is my opinion about it so check it out for yourself. I think whether Republican or Democrat the film will be well liked around.
... View MoreI love watching films about American politics. Especially when liberal Hollywood makes film about the Republicans. Hell it is a clash of civilizations! In this particular film I love acting, these characters really look like real politicians. I especially loved Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin and Woody Harelson as Shmidt. This is a moment to pay a tribute to Woody for all the great roles he did in his past. Woody we remember you drinking beer in Sarajevo. Many more great roles, especially acting defeated Republican political advisers.All in all if you like politics, and most of you do, and if you like good acting, and most of you do, this is a film for you.
... View MoreJulianne Moore scores a personal triumph in this making a woman who is basically an unqualified not terribly bright egoist at least seem human and somewhat used. Quite a feat. Amazingly up until this she had been slighted as far as major award recognition of her talent went, happily this superior work has corrected that. The rest of the production is high caliber with exemplary work from Ed Harris, Sarah Paulson and particularly Woody Harrelson. The rest of the supporting cast, Peter MacNicol, Larry Sullivan et. al, is just as strong. The mingling of actual footage from the campaign and the actors is done seamlessly and adds to the immediacy of the film. It's disquieting though to realize how close an uninformed puppet came to a seat of supreme power.
... View MoreMoore and Harrelson are excellent in their roles. It was an entertaining, fast-paced 2 hours and only after the movie was over did I consider the political relevance of the movie. While Palin was the focus of the movie, it was seen from Schmidt's viewpoint. Moore became Palin, but how accurate was her depiction on the VP nominee? The movie was positive when portraying her charisma and oratory skills but trivialized her personal life, when the pressure of the campaign and media became enormous. Especially, the over-the-top mental breakdown inference. Harrelson's portray of Schmidt showed a tough-minded political strategist who made a choice for VP. Then found out that it was not working out well. The movie makes him a sympathetic character who tries to cover his decision at the end. His post-election path in real life reinforces this change. Was the movie liberal biased? Probably, when you consider the producer, creative people and major actors. But still a fun flick.
