Ides of March starring Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, and Philip Seymour Hoffman (bolded because, as we know, he’s my favorite actor) has officially rocked my view on politics. The movie was spectacular and extremely captivating. For those who haven’t seen it I would stop reading now.
Ryan Gosling has recently taken a serious step in his acting and entered the world of suspense and drama. As the movie progresses you’ll see a switch in all the characters and those who start out as your favorite might end up being your least favorite. This movie gives its viewers and inside scoop on what really happens in politics while on the road between states. This includes the negotiations for the endorsement decisions, scandals, and affairs. George Clooney and Ryan Gosling had a strained relationship throughout the movie, Ryan Gosling playing Stephen Meyers is second in command of Governor Mike Morris's (George Clooney) presidential campaign and as he works his way up in the business he faces a decision that could be fatal for Morris’s campaign. As the story unfolds and Meyers invests in a romantic relationship with an intern he finds out that he isn’t the only one breaking the rules. Enter the plot thickener: who got her pregnant and why is Morris calling her at 2am?
Meyers makes his decision and weather it helped or hurt is unknown.
Going from:
Stephen Meyers: I'm not a Christian. I'm not an Atheist. I'm not Jewish. I'm not Muslim. My religion, what I believe in is called the Constitution of United States of America.
to…
Stephen Meyers: You can lie, you can cheat, you can start a war, you can bankrupt the country, but you can't f*** the interns. They get you for that.
…is proof of the character change in Meyers.
Was his change for the good or for revenge? Find out for yourself.
