Oscar watch...Dicaprio to play Ulysses S. Grant...SpielBerg directing....

[MartyMcFly]

Grant got nothing in common with those two racists

He’s white and old breh. Therefore he must be racist. But there’s no tool he could’ve used to find that out before he typed his post. No tool at all. What with the eradication of all libraries around the country and the ban on books, there’s no digital engine for him to use either.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

but you enjoy the movie.

I'm sure I will. He vs the South, and the scandals during his presidency.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Except graft and corruption. lol

he had a bad cabinet who couldn't stay out of shyt.
Just to see DiCaprio as Grant doing and whenever a new scandal pops up would be worth it alone

I wonder how he got a bad cabinet? lol
And movies like these love to sanitize a historical figures negative characteristics. So I wouldn't count on that being part of the movie.

Is trump next?

I bet my life this is going to happen in our lifetime.

 

[the next guy]

Maybe if this was 2002 :ariana2:

Its Dicaprio + Spielberg...of course we are

Yup 15 years ago, but it seems almost no one has that weight in hollywood anymore.

I was just talking to somebody about how like 5 - 10 years after his presidency the media will treat him sympathetically like they do GW Bush now. He'll be on Ellen, Colbert and Maher's shows if they are still around making jokes about the time he was president. lol

 

[Vandelay]

Isn't he like one of the worst presidents ever? Who wants to see his life dramatized?

for the fukkery.....

That's exactly why this will be good.

The Wolf of West Point...The Wolf of the West Wing...

The fukkery knows no bounds...

Or maybe I'm just not interested in it being dramatized.

A case can be made for every President being worthy of a movie. Not saying they would all be a riveting watch, but plenty of less important people get biopics

Yeah, presidents get multiple books, articles, TV and movie characterizations about them. It gets overdone rather quickly for me at least.

They're a big dealI personally dont have any legit presidential biopics rated all that highly. I loved DDL's performance in Lincoln but have no desire to watch the movie. But there are plenty of movies involving president's that I hold in very high esteem. Biopics in general just feel like an outdated genre. They tend to be filmed through rose colored lenses(Darkest Hour) and are usually boring as hell. A movie about the most pivotal part of a presidency tends to be much better (word to All the President's Men or Frost/Nixon). I'm not watching the Trump biopic, but I'll be there first night for the Russia collusion/Stormy Daniels movie

the name Ulysses just makes me upset.

I agree, when they keep it on a particular incident it's way better. Frost/Nixon, 13 Days, JFK.
Also agree about biopics generally speaking.

Now if this was Leo playing a comic book character who becomes President,then it’s day 1
