The Party's Over (Last Party 2000) poster & wallpaper

Filmed over the last six months of the 2000 Presidential election, Phillip Seymour Hoffman starts documenting the campaign at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, but spends more time o...( read more  read more... )utside, in the street protests and police actions than in the orchestrated conventions. Hoffman shows an obvious distaste for money politics and the conservative right. He looks seedier and more disillusioned the campaign progresses. Eventually Hoffman seems most energized by the Ralph Nader campaign as an alternative to the nearly indistinguishable major parties. The high point of the film are the comments by Barney Frank who says that marches and demonstrations are largely a waste of time, and that the really effective political players such as the NRA and the AARP never bother with walk ins, sit-ins, shoot-ins or shuffles. In the interview with Jesse Jackson, Hoffman is too flustered to ask all of his questions.

    Good documentary, though I don't always agree with the points that it makes.

    Took me ages to find this film and when I did, I was a nice guy and gave it as a Christmas Present :-D Anyhow, it was worth the wait and effort and I enjoyed it.

    This oughta be seen by more people. Next time your at the video store, take a second and think, why don't I watch something different tonight, why don't I watch something thats not Freedomland? Why don't I watch something that will actually make me use my brain, instead of watching Juliane Moore crying and Samuel L. Jackson stressing out for 2 hours. You wont regret it.
