:: The Ides of March ::

The acting was good, the plot line suffered tremendously. Evan Rachel Woods’s promiscious character throwing a wench ...excuse me wrench into the plot was so farfetched. I found the forwardness of her character to be quite comical. It lacked pathos for the characters and I found myself not really caring for any of them.

It seemed to me that they wanted the viewer to get emotionally involved with people we hardly knew anything about. Ryan Goslings character is talked up to be this great campaign manager and we don’t see any of that, therefore when he lost his job (only to get it back again thru bribery, as a true politician would) ,I could really have cared less because they never showcased any of his characters talents. Boo-hoo. I know, I know, politics are full of underlying corrupt ordeals and personalized conquests, thanks for once again making that clear.

I hate the idea of me writing about the politics. That is why I have never written anything about it regardless what. I could've been so vocal about this, but I chose not to. This issue is so sensitive it irks me up that however I'm saying it; it never gonna satisfies everybody's stands on this.

So here is my take.

In politics, kindness can get you "killed". Once you are inside it; you get addicted. Either it becomes an enlightenment for you or you end up being so jaded there's nothing you can do to wash away that blackened soul of yours. Unless you repent and quit politics altogether; or you really use it for a good cause. This is Baizura's take on politics. Not to say I dislike it per-se; but I'd rather watch it from afar. Yes, there's nothing wrong in stamping your stand; but somehow most people seem to forget about being neutral in sharing opinions that they end up being so silly, it disgusts me.

My saying is, politics are for the people; by the people. You are preparing yourself to/and ready to "die" for the people rather than trying to keep "alive" for the people. You ged what-im-sayin huh?
