 Raider Of The Lost Kitsch: Movie Reviews: Primary Colors
The movie is based in the book, "Primary Colors", by Anonymous which is supposed to be a fictionalized account of the 1992 Clinton primary campaign.
The movie is told largely from the experiences of Henry, a nouveau campaign manager who is the grandson of a famous 1960s Civil Rights worker.
"Primary Colors" is not a fl-eye for President Clinton and it is not a rose-colored glasses view of him and the campaign either.

There's a scene in Primary Colors where five or six grown men and women all hug each other around a plate of barbecued ribs and sing "You Are My Sunshine," and although the scene is laughable in context, nobody ever stops to think that the situation is horribly outrageous.
Primary Colors, the novel by Anonymous, was good as an infomercial on the business of running a Presidential campaign, but as a story its entertainment value was nil.
The movie, which stays very faithful to its in-print basis, is simply the story of a virtually unknown governor from an small, unnamed Southern state who runs for President.

A witty and wicked blend of comedy and drama, Primary Colors is not so much the story of a presidential campaign as it is a Faustian morality tale, a battle for one man's soul.

 Primary Colors Movie Review
It almost seems appropriate that the much-anticipated political flick "Primary Colors" is as two-faced as its main character, Gov. Jack Stanton played by John Travolta.
The first half of "Primary Colors" is a wonderful, humor-filled political satire that rivals Tim Robbins' "Bob Roberts," one of the best movies of 1992 that nobody went to see.

 MMI Movie Review: Primary Colors
Their eventual split was professionally better for him (as the Oscar-winning director of "The Graduate" and the recipient of a fistful of Tony awards) than for her, but both thrived during their association on 1995's "The Birdcage" and a follow-up project seemed inevitable.
"Primary Colors" is it and it unlayers the underlying national malaise of the last seven Presidencies.
Libby is gay, rough, tough and a fearless fighter, but her Achilles heel is that she will do anything in the world for the Stantons since she hasn't quite abandoned her youthful hero worship that drove her mad in the first place.

 Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Primary Colors
To be absolutely honest with y'all, I am so sick to death of Bill Clinton and the media feeding frenzy surrounding him that I honestly did not want to see Primary Colors, the film based on the novel fabricated from political journalist Joe Klein's observations of Bill Clinton on the campaign trail.
Primary Colors is guided by Henry Burton (Adrian Lester) a fl campaign manager who falls under the spell of the smooth talking Southern Governor who eats too much and cheats on his wife, but manages to create intensely personal relationships with all the people he meets.
By splitting what have been real life accusations into fictional faults divided between political contenders, Primary Colors manages the task of distancing itself from political reality, and enters the realm of good storytelling.

 Movie Review - Primary Colors - eFilmCritic
So, in a way, it is odd to have a movie made about that time that was released while it was still going on.
Most of what was rumored to have happened during the Kennedy years didn’t begin to surface until long after the fact, but in the days of the 24 hour news cycle people are taking their retrospectives with increasingly less ‘retro’ every day.
As it stands it is an interesting picture of the beginning of the era of ‘irrational exuberance’ and the brilliant political mind that got mired in his own humanity.

 Primary Colors movie review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The sole redeeming feature of this movie lies in the fact that it attempts to illustrate how corrupt our elected officials can be.
The movie is about the campaign of a southern Governor, Jack Stanton (John Travolta), to win the Democratic Presidential Primary.
It should come as no surprise by now that the characters in the movie have a resemblance to Bill and Hillary Clinton and their 1992 Presidential campaign co-workers.

When the book Primary Colors was released, it was a thinly-disguised "novel" that changed the right names, but basically chronicled Bill and Hillary's Excellent Adventure in 1992.
Well, Universal Studios has made the book into a movie, and, a fantastic movie at that, but in doing so, have applied some pretty familiar faces to the book's "fictional" names, and suddenly, the reality whacks you with a two-by-four.
For the uninformed, allow me: The movie tells the story of Jack Stanton (John Travolta), a Southern governor who's running for president.

 PRIMARY COLORS movie review, In Film Australia
Wag the Dog: they both are not afraid to wipe their noses in the nitty-gritty and take a bold look at something that will never has honesty as a virtue.
There are long slabs of time where John Travolta (unquestionably the most interesting to watch) is missed from the screen; and since it is awkwardly structured as Henry’s story we are often forced to watch scenes that perhaps are not so necessary to the central plot – or even the point of the film.
But as I mentioned before, there is a thin line between satire and controversy – and for the most part, Primary Colors delivers an entertaining indulgence of political matters combined with a far-from-overpowering look at winning the public’s opinion.

 Primary Colors Movie Review
The Anonymous, nome de plume, of Joe Klein, author of the notorious “Primary Colors” has at last come to the screen under the brilliant direction of Mike Nichols and the smart writings of Elaine May who managed to turn a script that is controversial and still knowledgeable about America’s political scene.
The movie is timely from today's headlines, with the lives of President Clinton and his mate Hillary, that it’s almost to apprehensively frightening.
Emma Thompson gives an energetic performance unfortunately she is only ballast to the movie.

I would say the answers are yes and no. Once elected, of course, you have to start worrying about getting elected again, so you are going to be playing the same political games in office as you played as a candidate.
More importantly, the movie takes a hard look at the way primary election campaigns are run.
There was little discussion of money, but the movie takes a close look at the "dirty" side of politics.

 Willamette Week - Movie Review: Primary Colors - March 25, 1998
He echoes what most savvy political thinkers would agree with: It doesn't matter if the words are lies--it's the actions that count.
Though it's based on the book that is based on real life,the movie anticipates the country's current confused feelings for our president's private conduct.
When watching a satire on politics, we don't want to feel warm fuzzies--we want to feel what Anita Hill probably felt when she heard the Coke bottle pubic-hair remark: a little shaken, but laughing all the same.

 Primary DVD Movie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In 1960, former Life magazine correspondent Robert Drew changed the face of documentary filmmaking when he introduced the first of his powerful films about President John F. Kennedy.
Unlike the directed and narrated documentaries of the day, Drew's uniquely mobile cameras moved with their subjects and captured the action as it unfolded, allowing for an unparalleled immediacy never before seen on film.
The resulting documentary, PRIMARY, is considered one of the most groundbreaking moments in cinema history--not only for ushering in the the revolutionary movement known as cinema verité, but also for being an intimate portrait of both Kennedy and the American political experience.

For all its sophisticated humor, "Colors" is at heart a devastating lament for the way American democracy mutilates idealism, rewards corruption and thrives on lies.
Kathy Bates gets the movie's showiest and most poignant part as Libby Holden, the Stantons' flamboyantly butch, effectively nefarious troubleshooter who, convincingly, is driven rather mad by the compromises required to turn her beliefs into policy.
Clinton haters probably will get the least out of "Primary Colors"; not because Nichols and company, as has been widely and erroneously reported, softened the material, but because the president's enemies will merely have their biases reconfirmed.
