The Ides of March (2011)
An idealistic staffer for a newbie presidential candidate gets a crash course on dirty politics during his stint on the campaign trail.
Look at that cast!!! Should i go on?
A politician hides shit and his right hand finds out… and grows a fuckin’ conscience. Death before betrayal? or survival of the fittest?
Written, directed and starring George Clooney! A political drama with nerve. The face of politics will never be the same - it’s been that way for ages. People are starting to open their eyes.
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti and Ryan Gosling. DAMN.
Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. DAMN!
Trivia: The Ides of March was the day (March 15) that Julius Caesar was assassinated. In Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” before being stabbed to death, Julius Caesar is told by a Soothsayer: “Beware the ides of March.”
A nice film with big stars and a story not too far from reality. Somethin’ for mature audiences and followers of political conspiracies.
We all have a conscience to deal with.
