The Last Party 2000 (2001)

I really enjoyed watching this one. I had seen the Robert Downey Jr. film "The Last Party" which focused on the Democratic National Convention in 1992. I thought that was interesting, so I noticed this on the shelf, which appeared to be somewhat of a follow up. This one, focused on the entire election of 2000, different interviews with people of different political affiliations. Some scary stuff, in my personal opinion. I loved Philip Seymour Hoffman in the "role" if you could call it a role, of the guy on the campaign trail, asking questions, spending a lot of time outside of the conventions, seeing what people are talking about, and just trying to get a feel for what is going on in this current political process. I thought he did a great job of being open minded but eventually ending up seeming as disillusioned as I feel most of the time these days. There were some interesting points made by many people in this movie. A great movie, directed by Donovan Leitch, who I adore, I thought this was a very well made movie. And a Philip Seymour Hoffman was the perfect excuse to have to watch it!
