Reagan Page #19

Synopsis: Ronald Reagan as a man, as compared to his legacy, is rich territory for exploration, and a line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is just one of the many things that springs to mind after viewing filmmaker Eugene Jarecki's latest opus, Reagan (Jarecki's Why We Fight won the 2005 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize: Documentary). Speaking at his funeral, Mark Antony said of Caesar, "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." With a firm grasp of Reagan's story, Jarecki avoids the predictable and takes the long view on Reagan's life and influence, while staying centered on him as a man of deep contradiction; an American whose patriotism paradoxically led him to impeachable acts, a liberal Democrat who came to define the modern conservative movement.

FRANK:

It certainly made a difference.

ON TV:
PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH is informed of the news.

PETER JENNINGS:

President Bush is getting word that

an enduring symbol of tyranny has

been toppled. The world, truly, has

changed today.

REAGAN:

I’ll tell ya one thing working with

you made me wonder:

FRANK:

What’s that, Ronnie?

REAGAN:

Why in the hell would anyone want

to be in politics? It’s gotta be

the shittiest job in the world.

Frank spots Karl in the background, holding a book:

PERFORMANCE NOTES FOR ACTORS.

FRANK:

The worst.

Cue up ‘FAITH’ by George Michael as we hold briefly on the

two men on the couch and slowly fade like a distant memory.
