The new movie "Southside With You," which opens Friday, is a feature film about Barack and Michelle Obama's first date in 1989. It's perhaps best described as a "Before Sunrise" for political wonks: The story spans a single day as the future first couple catch a movie, visit an art museum, and talk about their hopes and dreams while meandering through Chicago. On a more meta level, the movie is about the creation of the Obamas' private-life narrative - a shaping of how the public will understand them in the future and an acknowledgment of how it sees them now.

I find it difficult to believe anyone does all that on a “first date” .... the whole thing is probably a fiction.

ha haaa... I was referring only to their “official” version of “catch a movie, visit an art museum, and talk about their hopes and dreams while meandering through Chicago”

I think when people plan a first date they might do the movie OR the museum, but I doubt they would do both and then go “meandering through Chicago”.... not when they had never met before. You don’t know going into a first date if you want to spend a ton of time with the person....

They talked for sure about how they had never ever been proud of the USA..... and Barack probably droned on and on about “The Revolution”....
