Editorial Reviews

The legacy of a populist Southern politician whose lofty ambitions for the future leave him open to corruption and scandal is detailed as author Robert Penn Warren's thinly veiled portrait of Depression-era Louisiana governor Huey Long comes to the screen -- again -- this time courtesy of director and screenwriter Steven Zaillian. Willie Stark (Sean Penn) is a man of the people, and for the people; at least that's what he tells the people. Propelled into a race for governor by opposing forces looking to split the "hick vote," Stark is convinced by a handler -- as well as by young journalist Jack Burden (Jude Law) -- to not kowtow to the powers that be. His rhetoric grows fiery, and he makes his way into office on a not-so-solid foundation of social-service promises. When idealism gives way to the harsh realities of the time, however, the fast-talking politico is quick to discover just how far one can fall when ambition and power lead to a betrayal of one's original motivations. Kate Winslet, Patricia Clarkson, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, and Anthony Hopkins round out an all-star cast in this second version of Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 novel; the first won a parade of Oscars after its release in 1949.

Thought provoking movieby evie-Z

August 25, 2009: Strange that Sean PENN should have the role of Willy Stark in a movie made from a book written by Robert PENN Warren. Sean Penn was outstanding in the lead role, as usual, but how can you go wrong with a cast including Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law and Kate Winslet?

I found the diologue a bit hard to follow so thanks for the subtitles. Some of the deleted scenes may have helped if left in but then the movie would be too LONG.

It has been denied that this is a story of Huey Long but the ideology and personality of Willy Stark matches Long's perfectly. I am sure Warren was writing a fictionalized version on Long's character and life.

Very much worth watching.

December 13, 2007: A beautiful film in a time and place which is gone in American life and politics. It is only seen in the reflections of the water.
