A: Politics is something George Clooney is passionate about so much so that he wrote, directed and starred in the film centered around a political race. The Ides of March is a thriller about a democratic presidential hopeful whose campaign couldn't derail by some crucial information. Here's a clip from the Ides of March, and Clooney's conversation with ABC's Peter Travers about his thoughts on the state of our government.
B:It says we're gonna help people get education, we're gonna create a national unity, we're gonna teach young people a trade, and we're gonna get the money of debt for the college loans, so what does that fail?
A: All of that is exactly for a government, it's just, if you're gonna do it, do it. Make a mandatory , not voluntary.
B:And I will poll well.
A: Mandatory.
B:Tell me as we begin, (um..) what's the lousy, what's awful about being George Clooney.
A: Interview shows, (really) yeah, (that's normally thing) it's really, that's not so bad.
B:No, it's, actually it's not so painful.
A: Because you usually escape that. (hehe....), so many times.
B:I'm, I'm having.. You know, um, I'm having, I'm having a pretty good time, right now in life. You know, that was funny because as we put it on Ides of March, you know I played a guy running for president. Again, it sorts of starts these questions "would you ever want to run for politics, for being a politics " And I think, look at my wife, who look at everybody else's life of politics, here you go, why would I ever want to do that. I 'm having a very good time. "
A: It seemed for you, for the movies that you made as a film, is more cynical than anything that you have made before ?
B:It is.
A: Are you disillusioned by Obama now ? ( If there is something..)
B:No, no, I'm disillusioned by the people, they are disillusioned by Obama. Quite the same, I'm...You know, Democrats eat their own, Democrats find singular issues and they go well, like, I didn't get everything I wanted, " I'm a firm believer and sticking by, and sticky up for the people that you've elected, you know, there's a big effort to get a lot of things done. If he was a Republican running, because Republicans are better at this, and spend a lot of time with Marry Medellin and Micheal Denver, really good consultants. They will be selling him as a guy who stop 400,000 jobs in a month from leaving the country, they'll be selling him as guy who saved the auto industry, if they had a belief, they'll be selling him as a man who got rid of Don't ask, Don't tell. you have tons of things you could count, you got Osama Bin Laden, (um,) you'd be selling these very successful 3 years. When we want to talk it about how we elect the people, and the deals we make a long win, we thought that was an interesting way we' re doing, we knew, I knew that the only way I was gonna be a lot of to do, because I'm a Democrat. I've been through a lot about that at times was that I make a democrat, so that the floors are you know, the democrats. It's probably gonna be a way I was gonna be able to get a way of making the film.
A: The Ides of March also stars Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Marisa Tomei, And it's in theaters now.
