There were giants, then.
I am very much looking forward to this movie, which I so rarely say these days.
I want to see the film as well. I know there was some criticism of showing her now etc. and how that might be exaggerated, but most of the film is about her political life. And as for showing stuff now, it’s part of life and as long as that’t not a central part of the film, I won’t be upset.

All three are riveting.
What is the concensus on the film? Is it a hit piece or favorable (realistic)?
It is not at all surprising that an actress the caliber of Meryl Streep could pull this off.
She is really, really good.
And it just occurred to me that I don’t ever remember Streep being a political big mouth. I mean, maybe she is a low-profile activist of some kind, but the point is that I’ve never heard or read anything about it if she is. To which I say, “Good for her.” Smart.
Horseshit.
To me the 80s were the late decade of any normality, innocence, or respect for authority — and the last hurrah for leaders of this caliber. Starting the 90s everything became in-your-face decadent.
