How does ides of march end

A clip of Morris is playing. But also foreshadowing. Stephen had been fired by Zara days before. Stephen had looked up to Morris as one would a superhero. He thought Morris was above everything, was greater than the average political scum, was the leader of leaders. He wanted revenge. For Molly. For himself. In order to achieve this, he had to have the right position. If he had remained fired and had spilled the beans, the story would have died.

He has Morris anoint him Campaign Manager. And then he stabs Morris in the back. The movie ends prior to the fulfillment of its climax. Thus the climax is haunting the way an unfinished song is. The argument the movie makes is that in order to change the zeitgeist of the institution we must change not only the types of players but also the way the game is played.

Integrity has to be more than a mere sound bite or ideal. And it most certainly speaks to the credit of the masterful screenplay that it allows an argument to be made for both sides. That being said, I disagree, respectfully of course. This movie, in my opinion, is simply an acknowledgement of the back-room cut-throat nature of campaign politics.

A testament to the lack of moral fiber in all parties involved, regardless of their political affiliations. I thought the movie was great. Honestly, I watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington later that night to kind of restore my faith in… whatever I have faith in. But the movie was so well done. And I hate that Molly was basically a trading card. View all posts by southernbluestocking. This is entertaining even if suspense barely builds and pay-off revelations come with little surprise.

Clooney, as a director, is also able to draw-out amazing performances from this whole ensemble cast. Great review. One of the last scenes, before Stephen Myers Ryan Gosling spoke in the gym, we see an intern showing up for a job. And this intern looks a lot like Molly. Think so?
