GRSweetpea re: Ides of March
We watched Ides of March!
Overall I really liked it. It kept going in different directs and the storyline didn't go as I expected it to. And the ending was odd.
I thought it was well done though. The dialogue seemed especially good. And it got surprisingly creepy as the movie went on.
Hmmm... now that I write this... I'm putting the storyline together with the title. Annndd now I realize the Ceasar similarities!! Oh, now I'm intrigued and must think about this more.

Warning for others, if you haven't seen the movie and don't want to know what happened, get outta here!
I had mixed feelings about the movie. I thought the writing was great, and the characters were well drawn. But... I didn't like the whole young intern and the candidate part. It seemed too cliche. I wish she were 10 years older.
I think the title does help with the direction of what happened a minute after the movie's end.
I agree. The intern's whole story was icky and seemed kind of forced.
I liked the movie. I thought more was going to happen with the story though, I guess. TH thought it was really 'meh'. I am going to have to brush up on my Caeser though, I'm not getting the correlation. Oops!
Say what now? School me in this business please.
We watched it a couple weeks ago and I liked it, but I must be missing something bigger here.
In Caesar, one of Caesar's closes advisors (Brutus) betrays him in some political treachery (and then stabs him).
And it's March ("Beware the Ides of March!") - Super Tuesday in the movie.
So, in this metaphor, Stephen is Brutus. I was thinking that Paul respresents Caesar because Stephen back-stabbed him (although not literally) by talking to the other campaign and pushed him out of his job by black-mailing the governor.
But, GRSP, are you thinking that Clooney (what's his character's name?!) is Caesar and Stephen is about to screw him over in the interview as the movie ends?
That's what I thought. Caesar is the top guy, not a campaign manager. They really left it open to a lot of different possibilities, but I'm thinking it came out, and Stephen took down the Gov.
