Many of us who were fortunate
enough back in the days when we were in secondary schools had an
opportunity to read one of the world renowned book of Julius Cesar that
was authored by William Shakespeare and even after many centuries since
the author wrote it happens to be quite popular at its best. One of the
best quotes that I so dearly love on this book was that of Soothsayer
who once predicted on the Ides of March which was on the 15th of March
2012 whereby that day the date on which Julius
Caesar was killed in 44 B.C. Caesar was stabbed (23 times) to death in
the Roman Senate by a group of conspirators led by Marcus Junius
Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. With regards to the one that I have
here with me called The Ides of March which is 2011 American political
thriller film that was directed by George Clooney from
a screenplay written by Clooney, along with Grant Heslov and Beau
Willimon and the film is an adaptation of Willimon's 2008 play Farragut
North. The film basically takes a look at an Idealistic campaign worker
Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) who has sworn to give all for Governor
Mike Morris (Clooney), a wild card presidential candidate whose
groundbreaking ideas could change the political landscape. However, a
brutal Ohio primary threatens to test Morris's integrity. Stephen gets
trapped in the down-and-dirty battle and finds himself caught up in a
scandal where the only path to survival is to play both sides. The
all-star cast includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa
Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. Director-star George Clooney's The Ides of
March is the perfect film to mirror our time, when the approval rating
of the United States Congress is at an all-time low and the divisions
between the two major parties and their constituents are wider than
ever. Everyone'll have some kind of nit to pick with this rather
self-serious film.
Right-wingers won't like the fact that the central politician
(Clooney's Governor Mike Morris of Pennsylvania, who's running for
president) is a liberal Democrat who advocates raising taxes on the
rich, supports a woman's right to choose, and may be an atheist ("My
religion is the Constitution."). so the film in essence has got that
mixture of feeling regarding the way it was made as many cites reason of
interfaith and having nothing of the utmost truth regarding some of its
scenes that depicts events of Christianity and other belief of the
parties concerned.
In an overall basis since it is a film, it is definitely a must see
film for those who are into political films to simply have it when you
