Ronald Reagan as a man, as compared to his legacy, is rich territory for exploration, and a line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is just one of the many things that springs to mind after viewing filmmaker Eugene Jarecki's latest opus, Reagan (Jarecki's Why We Fight won the 2005 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize: Documentary). Speaking at his funeral, Mark Antony said of Caesar, "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." With a f... (Full plot summary below)

Ronald Reagan as a man, as compared to his legacy, is rich territory for exploration, and a line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is just one of the many things that springs to mind after viewing filmmaker Eugene Jarecki's latest opus, Reagan (Jarecki's Why We Fight won the 2005 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize: Documentary). Speaking at his funeral, Mark Antony said of Caesar, "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." With a firm grasp of Reagan's story, Jarecki avoids the predictable and takes the long view on Reagan's life and influence, while staying centered on him as a man of deep contradiction; an American whose patriotism paradoxically led him to impeachable acts, a liberal Democrat who came to define the modern conservative movement.
Leave your thoughts about Reagan.
| CinematicalChristopher CampbellA must-see for fans of non-fiction film, fans of the 40th president, and even those critical of the man for whatever reason. |
| Indie Movies OnlineKimberly GadetteWhile it's not surprising to see the president's son Ron picking his way through a potential minefield, wanting both to celebrate his father and address his failings honestly, what's the filmmaker's rationale? |
| User ReviewRaul VFirst off, if you have HBO right now, WATCH, DVR, or ON-DEMAND this doc immediately! Director Eugene Jarecki ("Why We Fight" & "The Trials Of Henry Kissenger") delivers a very complex, at times even contradicting, view on Ronald Reagan's entire private & public life. For those on the left who thought of him as a clueless, heartless puppet of the powers that be...you'll be more than a little surprised. For those on the right who thought of Reagan as a God of sorts who saved freedom & capitalism & perhaps could do no wrong...you'll be more than a bit taken back by the actual journey the man took in his life to ever reach that kind of persona. Everyone else interested will undoubtedly find something new or very intriguing about the life of this man. An all-encompassing documentary that never trashes the man in any way, nor does it placate to today's right wing punditry in any shape or form. There's a lot of myth-making & evoking pertaining to the ex-President nowadays. This doc hopefully helps deflate some of those myths (Ex: Reagan was never hardcore against illegal immigrants in this country...He fuckin' granted over 2.5 million immigrants amnesty towards the end of his presidency!) It's funny...almost everyone I know my age or older seem to have a definite feeling one way or the other about the man. The ironic part of that is that I believe very few of those people actually KNOW anything of relevance pertaining to the ex-President. If you're interested...watch this doc...you might even learn something. For all others out there...keep watching your "American Idol" & "Jersey Shore" marathons. |
| User ReviewKat VWhat a beautiful man, and not without his flaws. I really appreciate how fair and honest this documentary was. Reagan as a man, not as the hero everyone built him up to be. It surprised me at how stubborn of a radical he could be... but through all his actions his intentions shine through. RIP Ronald Wilson Reagan... You were a brilliant light when we needed it most. |
| User ReviewRob KSeparates fact from fiction by revealing the man while acknowledging the myth. Does an admirable job of giving us a full 360 degree look at a life and career that is still felt even today. |
| User ReviewJessicaAnn DAn interesting somewhat moderate look at how Reagan became what he was as told by those who loved him and those who loathed him. The best part is the old footage of Reagan from his commercial days, the interview with Ron Reagan Jr and the fact that the idea for his Star Wars security plan came from one of his own B movies! |
| User ReviewIan RHas It's Moments And Is Fulfilling To The Man But Waivers Unsuccessfully Between The Ideas Of Support For Reagan From The Film And Criticism Of Him. |
| User ReviewCarolyn GA well-done documentary but very tough to take the myth-making on the part of several of the participants. |
