Wag the Dog (1998, DVD)

this is the best movie of the world.

The movie are inspiration in Bill Clinton´s case. She has the best actor and I recommend see, because the movie show that think want any no want see

The DVD was improperly packaged for shipping, was damaged and not able to be viewed. Very disappointing.

firl was recommended to my girlfriend so she asked me to buy it for her--good movie--we both enjoyed it very much

I like satire and especially political. This movie is a biting attack on present day politics. The acting is superb

Although this movie was produced in 1998, it can't be more current. A fun movie to enjoy for a weekend, most informative and, above all, excellent food for thought! A very funny and explicit way to inform the general public about what some politicians do best. De Niro and Dustin Hoffman at their best!

The only people allowed to laugh at Hollywood are those who have become massive successes in tinseltown. So Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman and Robert de Niro are alowed mocking privileges denied to lesser mortals. In this film they combine in a fast-moving, brilliant spoof. The President has been caught in a sexual misdemeanour and Robert de Niro is hired to divert the public's attention from the news. To achieve this he collaborates with Dustin Hoffman to present the public with a war in Albania, created and viewed on television according to the rules of Hollywood. The war exists only on television and is ended when a political opponent states on television that the war is over. The only reality is "I saw it on television". Hoffman refuses to accept that "his" war is ended and a surrealistic sequence of events unfolds to resuscitate the illusion of an ongoing war and its aftermath. Reality finally takes over when the spin is successful and government takes steps to gather any loose threads. The film breaks all the rules (no love interest, no titanic struggle of good and evil) and succeeds in building fantasy on fantasy to produce a magnificent spoof that manages to out-Lewinsky the Lewinsky story.

This is a great movie, keyed to a wide audience, but a must for any politically savy person. Very witty depiction of the media through a a use of satirical comedy, yet with a gritty undertone. I saw this in a government class of mine and have seen it three times since, highly recommended, Deniro and Hoffman are brilliant!

The DVD arrived in less than a week. It was factory sealed as promised. It was in Great condion. I would use this seller again. GREAT E-BAYER!!!!
