Primary Colors
The movie Primary Colors is about a grey-haired, gravel-voiced, doughnut-loving Governor from a Southern American state who is running in a US presidential campaign. He has a colourful past that is in danger of grabbing frontpage deadlines and a no-nonsense lawyer wife, whose accent would be right at home n a prestigious Chicago law school. The similarities with president Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary seem hard to ignore.
The book Primary Colors, published under the byline "Anonymous", became best-seller when it came out not long after the 1992 American presidential election in which Clinton was elected to the White House. It appeared to be a thinly veiled account of what happened during that campaign. But Mike Nichols, the director of Primary Colors the movie, insists that there is no direct relationship between fiction and fact.
John Travolta, who plays governor Jack Stanton, agrees. He says that of course there are elements of Clinton in the movie character, but then there are also elements of previous presidents--Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy.
Emma Thompson, the British actress who, as Stanton’ s wife, masters an educated Chicago accent for her role, says the idea that Primary Colors is a straight rerun of real life is far to simplistic, and it annoys her to hear of their production talked about in his way.
“The movie may have connections with the Clintons but it is fiction,” she says. “It deserves to be reviewed and written about seriously.” The furthest she will go is to admit: “You couldn’t have the film with- out the Clintons, without the Kennedys, without the media, without any of us."
The film scored well at the box office and critics were enthusiastic about the performances from Travolta and Thomson and co-stars Kathy Bates, as a political fixer, Larry Hagman, as Stanton’s principal political opponent, Billy Bob Thornton, as a political strategist, and Adrian Lester, as Stantons aide.
Director Nichols admits to having had some worries about the spillover of real-life scandal on his film, "Of course we were concerned when the Monica Lewinsky business became frontpage news. Life moved a- long with us in a war we did not expect. But we made this film as an entertainment, and that is how people eventually saw it."
Movie-goers in America were constantly reminded that Primary Colors was about them as much as it was about the Clintons or any other high-profile political couple. “It’s about American politics, life, marriage, fidelity, infidelity--and doughnuts.” [br] According to this text how did critics respond to the movie?
