Review of Vice (2018) by Warren S — 08 Jan 2019
A good if somewhat flawed movie. I lived as an adult through all this Bush-Cheney period and I was keenly interested at the time, so this was an interesting perspective.
The heart artiness goes way over the top. How many pictures do I need of open chest cavities and freshly eviscerated hearts? Not that many. Movie would have been better without it.
A documentary it is not, although it pretends to be. Almost all of the dialog is comprised of personal and often classified meetings. Of course, all of that was made up to fit the factual outcomes. No idea what really happened though, so take all of the dialog with a grain of salt.
That said, well worth watching and learning. Just be careful of what you "learn".
