Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story (2008)
Great Film
29 September 2008 - 13 out of 14 users found this review helpful.
Political docs are often dry and impersonal. This portrait of republican strategist Lee Atwater is anything but.
Boogie Man is a compelling story of an intense man driven by power and attention. Like so many in politics, but also on Wall street or in Hollywood, this guy is about winning at all costs. It has great music that keeps you tapping your foot. The film also provides a compellingly smart analysis of media and advertising strategies given by experts in the political world. The film's unexpected story arc that kept me riveted to the screen.
The archival footage of the Bush family is also priceless.
