A highly recommended film for political anoraks

| 1 Comment

I now know what Sky Alantic is for. Recently they showed Game Change, the film about the McCain/Palin 2010 campaign. It is a superb film, which makes some sense of this strange episode in American history.

Why? How? ….did the McCain campaign choose Sarah Palin as their VP pick? Did they live to regret it? The film attempts relatively plausible answers to those questions, in an entertaining package.

Woody Harrelson is brilliant in the film, as McCain’s campaign manager, Steve Schmidt.

I was left thinking, as I thought at the time, why didn’t McCain just choose Kay Bailey Hutchison? Answer: she’s pro-choice.

  1. It was fantastic and I stayed up far too late to watch it

    Though I’m increasingly confused between Julianne Moore, Tina Fey and the actual Sarah Palin :-)
