"Kevin Costner, in the role he was born to play...and play and play"
Lesson One people, if Ed Asner is in a movie, and a political one at that, Hollywood is giving you are rare glimpse behind its usual smoke and mirrors psyche job.
Lesson Two; you can accurately date any film within 3 years, if you note Laurie Metcalf in a role of prominence.
Lesson Three; Kevin Costner shops at a specialty big man's hat boutique.

Lesson Four; Oliver Stone's straightjacket size is a 44 Short.
This movie reminds me of one of my Dad's favorite lines about how you can dress a monkey in a tuxedo, and he'll still crap himself. Film is a slick high budget tuxedo clothing an insipid childish and groundless conspiracy theory. Good cast, great acting, little else. Why aren't there any good conservative filmmakers, or how about an entire industry to balance the Lefty interpretations of history. As Ed Harris's imaginary character says in `A Beautiful Mind', one thing we should all remember is that while McCarthy may have lost his marbles in exposing Communists in the entertainment business, but that doesn't make the people he rooted out any less guilty. Gee that's funny, how come other than passing comments like this, none of these great social historians have yet tackled that chapter of Baby Boomism. They wouldn't dare! Truth aint their trade.
