"All we need is a voluntary, free-spirited, open-ended program of procreative racial deconstruction. Everybody just gotta keep f*ckin' everybody 'til they're all the same color."
I revisit this film periodically as it is so appropriate to what is happening in the country. Warren Beatty has written, directed, and starred in a timeless ode to the fact that our fascist state is so behind in health care and taking care of the poor.
"Obscenity? The rich is getting richer and richer and richer while the middle class is getting more poor/ Making billions and billions and billions of bucks/ well my friend if you weren't already rich at the start well that situation just sucks/cause the riches mother f*cker in five of us is getting ninety f*ckin eight percent of it/ and every other motherf*cker in the world is left to wonder where the f*ck we went with it."
Yes, we are reminded by this film that we are all at the mercy of the rich. They rape the riches of America and enslave the rest of us. It's hard to take, especially by those who would excuse their behavior because they are waiting for their in the "Promised Land."
"I'm giving them entry-level positions into the only growth-sector occupation that's truly open to them right now. That's the substance supply industry. They gonna run this sh*t someday. They gonna have the whole empire. Man, y'all don't give a f*ck about it. You greedy-ass politicians. That's what you tell me every time that y'all vote to cut them school programs; every time y'all vote to cut them funds to the job programs. What the f*ck; how a... how a young man gonna take care of his financial responsibilities workin' at motherf*ckin' Burger King? He ain't. He ain't, and please don't even start with the school sh*t. They ain't no education going' on up in that motherf*cker. 'Cause y'all motherf*ckin' politicians done f*cked the sh*t up. So what they gonna do? What's a young man supposed to do then, right? What's he gonna do? He gonna come to me, that's what he's gonna do. Why? 'Cause I'm a businessman, and as a businessman, you gotta limit your liabilities. And that's what these shorties offer me: limited liabilities; because of their limited vulnerability to legal sanctions, man. It's the same f*ckin' thing in politics, Dog. You find an edge, you gotta exploit that sh*t. That's why y'all sent all them motherf*ckin' teenagers to Iraq. Die over some motherf*ckin' oil money. Send the motherf*ckin' CIA up in the 'hood with all the f*ckin yayos. Slangin' in the hood man. It's the same sh*t in politics."
We wonder why we have a problem in this country when we have an education system that is no better that is was before Brown V Topeka, and we keep sending the poor to fight so the rich can get richer.
Sure, Bulworth is a political movie made by one of the most political people in Hollywood. It stings and it hurts those who are the object of the numerous political barbs contained therein. It hits at Democrats and Republicans - all politicians are equally to blame for the mess we have.
You have to love Warren Beatty for having the courage to make this. It had some other greats here, too, in a huge cast. Halle Berry, Sean Astin, Don Cheadle, Oliver Platt and others, including cameos by Al Gore and others.
I've given you a taste. See more, if you dare.
