Wow! Such a good movie.

Better Late Then Never

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is a documentary that follows the 1992 presidential campaign of Bill Clinton. I saw this in a political science class, and remembered that some of the students gave this quite the chuckle, from seeing the overzealousness of George Stephanopoulos to seeing a young, drab-looking Chelsea Clinton.It was interesting seeing all the ins and outs of a campaign, most notably seeing people running around like crazy like with chickens without their heads. It was quite educational, but, I really wished they would have given James Carville a major-makeover (forgive my opinionated mind). Grade B-

I was taking a course in American Government at Rutgers when I saw this film. I fell in love with George Stephanopoulos right away. James Carville is always a delight to watch with his Cajun tongue and enthusiasm. This film documentary chronicles the Clinton election in 1992. I can't believe I miss that period now. Of course, the War Room is not for those who don't care anything about politics. The boy from Hope gave us hope and a promise that was fulfilled. Sure there was the sex scandals, at least they were interesting, the economy was headed in the right direction and we had surplus budget. Now, we're in two wars with no end in sight. Still, the War Room reminds us of the promises and the hope around election day.

I watched "The War Room" a few days after the 2004 election. Seeing Bill Clinton's strategies, I really got the feeling that John Kerry didn't do as much as he could have. But also, I could see why the far right went after Clinton: here was a young man who came of age in the '60s and was certainly a far cry from the old men who usually dominate Washington. But even aside from that, it was very interesting - even sort of funny - just getting a glimpse inside DC. I would recommend this documentary just so that people can understand politics better. With the midterm elections less than two weeks away, we just might have a chance to change the disastrous course that George W. Bush has led us on. A very good documentary.

The opening of the War Room is unique. We see Bill Clinton, Governor of Arkansas at the time, looking back into the camera, at the audience, with a baseball cap on his head, and a t-shirt covering his body. About to sit down to have his cereal for breakfast, Clinton is talking casual on the phone to a friend. Like the opening conversation, the War Room is as unique and clever as any political documentary before or after. Most of the world did not known who James Carville was until 1992 / 1993. Most know him as a fast talking, cocky, and brilliant political player. Here, we see a deeper human being with more than just an objective, but a message to America. Behind his tears, we see the truth behind the Clinton Campaign in 1991. Whether you are a fan of politics or don't have the stomach to digest politics, you will enjoy the War Room.
