Bulworth

12 years later this movie reflects the political culture of our once great country. Lobbyists legally buying the vote of our politicians who are supposed to fight for the rights of it's people. Warren Beatty's character puts the ugly truth out there front stage...PRICELESS!!!

Just watched this brave, important, exhilerating film AGAIN and am blown away at it's ongoing relevance to OUR TIME. Thank you, Mr. Beatty.

In short: a racist fantasy of the noble white man rescuing the savage from his primitive, g-dless ways while renewing his "authenticity" through a change in perspective that happens when you're among the tragically backwards and ignorant. This type of story is racist. It has always been racist. It has never been courageous nor honest, and I have no idea why people could possibly suspect that it was. Make no mistake, this is nothing new, this is the same old implausible garbage where some blue blood white guy does a painfully embarrassing minstrel show the entire time, chewing the scenery while spouting the most odious of stereotypes. As with all of these nauseating tales, he is, of course, given a warm reception by those wacky "colored people" (his words) whom he lampoons. They do not seem to know any better, because they themselves are written as not characters, but rather vessels for those very same stereotypes. It is unbearable.

This movie does for politics what Network did for mass media. It has one of the most daring scripts ever written. It even slams Hollywood and Hollywood movies. A gutsy movie for a wimpy time. Note: the plot summary above doesn't accurately describe what happens in the movie.

This is an AMAZING movie. Halle Berry is very good and believe it or not, Warren Beatty is great in this role of a politician who basically makes a deal with the devil, then has to renege and suffer the consequences. The music is great, too. The dance scene with Halle and Warren in the club has some of the best cinematography I have ever seen. If you are a film afficionado, you will appreciate that scene. For everyone else, it's just hot. Enjoy!

Between Bulworth and Reds, Warren Beatty deserved him all the broads he so famously slept with. Okay, enough gossip. Bulworth is a brave, beautifully made film that holds up well to repeated viewings. Edgy and extremely daring, this movie is well worth your money and your precious time. It will make you laugh and think.

In real life it's usually an ugly thing to see someone loose all inhibition and say what they really think. Not so in the movies! I give Bulworth 5 stars for speaking its mind even if some speeches are mindless. If you're watching this for the first time don't be turned away by its age, I guarantee you'll be provoked into laughter that will spurt your drink out your nose. Enjoy!

This movie was great! Very good acting and drama!
