Review – The War Room

Though I can’t say for certain, I’m betting it’s more interesting to watch this movie in 2005 than it was after it first came out. Now that the Clinton presidency is history, it’s almost funny, almost quaint to see how simple it seemed behind the scenes as he campaigned in 1992. The real star of the show is James Carville, the manic, freakish mastermind behind the Clinton/Gore ticket. It’s strange how small the whole thing seems, more like a mayoral election than a run for President of the United States. Different times, too, when the Republicans ran a proven lemon and the Democrats actually had someone people could get excited about. This, then, is an interesting artifact of its time for anyone with an interest in reliving the experience. Mildly amusing
