The Ides of March Trailer
The Ides is a pretty good movie. It lacks pace however, and dragged on via deliberate silent and alone character insight. It's a good story however, and shows the viewer what politics are like. I lived in DC for 5 years, and have always said to friends, and family that politics is just big business.This movie demonstrates the challenges of election, the ugly back room deals that are made, and the do what you gotta do side to trying to get elected.
