Primary Colors (1998)is one of those movie I always meant to see, but just didn't. Oh man, I should have seen it long ago!
It is the thinly disguised story of Bill Clinton's run for the presidency in 1992. Starring John Travolta, who does a great job in portraying a Clinton-esqe character, and Emma Thompson as the much smarter Hillary-esqe wife. Primary Colors delivers the whole package. Sometimes outrageously funny, it is also by turns thoughtful, and really makes you wonder and ponder the political process.
With a fabulous supporting cast of Kathy Bates, Billy Bob Thorton, Larry Hagman and many others, Primary Colors is smart and so well made. The actors, script and directing are right on spot, and the points always hit their mark.
Really fantastic film. And I am not sure if it makes me like Clinton less, or more...actually, it makes me wonder that about BOTH the Clintons.
