Sort of predicted Trump and Bernie
Doesn’t date well but fascinating to see how the populist straight talking message can be applied to both the left and the right. Patrick Caddell who collaborated with Beatty on this and served as a political consultant to Carter originally, took his anti establishment views and ultimately switched allegiances to the Bannon wing of the Trump supporters. The evening after his first Consultation with Trump was when Trump came out swinging and declared the media the enemy. Art and life are strange.

Contemporary classic!
Bulworth was released quite a few years ago, but it is still (if not more) relevant today. It merges two “cultures,” one being the rich white class culture, and the other being the urban lower class culture, and ends up with many universal ideals. The story’s hero is Jay Billington Bulworth, portrayed brilliantly by Warren Beatty. I think some people have a problem with the fact that he is…well, more or less insane, but that is possibly the most important thing about the character. You could call him insane, but if you look at it more romantically, perhaps he is “posessed” by the “spirit” of social justice, a mere vessel for the truths that need to be told. He is a character unaware of the significance in what he is saying. To him, if he’s not completely insane, he’s simply a man who broke down and decided to tell it like it is (ala Peter Finch in Network, but with rapping and rhyming). There’s something actually kind of mystical about all this.

Since it would be way too preachy if that’s all there was to the story, there’s some other aspects that make for an entertaining viewing. Bulworth, in his depression and anxiety, hired a hit-man to “off” him so his family could collect the life insurance. Once his speeches and raps become a success, this is obviously a big problem since he wants to live again (“You should never make life and death situations when feeling suicidal”). There is a love interest with a girl named Nina, played by the lovely Halle Berry. You don’t know if you can trust her, and her intentions are unclear.

There is also a fine supporting role by Don Cheadle, who plays a “business man” who uses young children to sell drugs. His character does bring up some valid points, and we’re forced to really put ourselves in his shoes. He’s doing what he feels is right, but ultimately, the ends don’t justify his means.

With a movie that has so much going on, it would probably be difficult for the filmmakers to figure out a way to wrap everything up, right? Unfortunately, yes. Bulworth ends pretty abruptly and leaves with the film’s message being half-assedly shouted at the screen. The last act is a huge flaw in an otherwise perfect movie.

Bulworth is a hilarious comedy and it heralds something truly special and unique. It is not a film to be taken for granted or forgotten. It’s a quintessential example of a ‘contemporary classic’ for our generation. I have no doubt that over the next decade or so, people will want to revisit it and examine the politics and the cultures; it should be studied in classrooms, it should be valued. I loved Bulworth!
