All the king's men
I thought this film was fabulous and do not understand the negative criticism it's received. Did NOBODY feel the conflict I felt between simultaneously identifying with Willy Stark's political views and recognizing echoes of 20th century fascism? Did nobody see how a person could get drawn in by that? Was I the only person who identified with Willy Stark and understood why he would come to believe that the ends justified the means? I thought Sean Penn's portrayal was stunningly good and that the film in general was an excellent film rendering of the novel.
