A commentary on negative campaigns & the media looking for dirt that has taken over US politics
Primary Colors was loosely based upon a book written by reporter Joe Klein about Bill Clinton’s first run for president in 1992. Clinton’s role is played by John Travolta as candidate Jack Stanton. The film deals with the negative campaigns that have taken over American politics where candidates spend most of their time attacking and tearing down each other more than dealing with issues and what they hope to achieve. It also covers how the press will investigate every little detail of candidates looking for any signs of dirt that can get ratings and usually leads to the destruction of the politician. The film is thus a critique of what American democracy has become.<br /><br />The movie deals with these issues in many ways. One is based upon the real story of Gennifer Flowers who had tapes of conversations with Bill Clinton. The second half of the movie is focused upon whether Stanton will go negative and what he’s willing to do. The movie poses the question about what kind of candidate did Stanton want to become. Would he be just like everyone else and tear down his opponents or would he try to stay positive?<br /><br />The movie does a good job talking about American politics even though there are parts that are overdone. There's also a lot of comedy thrown in to keep it light at moments.<br />C
