Bob Roberts (2/10) Movie CLIP - Fanatic Fans (1992) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Bob (Tim Robbins) meets some fanatic fans, including Mrs. Davis (Anita Gillette), her son Roger (Jack Black), and his two friends Calvin (Matthew Faber) and Burt (Matt McGrath).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In the tradition of This Is Spinal Tap, producer/ director/ star Tim Robbins' Bob Roberts is a satire disguised as a documentary. Robbins plays the titular Roberts, a wealthy, well-connected young man running for a senatorial seat in Pennsylvania. On the surface, Roberts is an ingratiating glad-hander, a sincere believer in the restoration of such intangibles as national pride, family values, etc. But the longer Roberts is followed about by documentary filmmaker Brian Murray, the more we become aware that the candidate is a textbook case of cynicism and contempt. Only Giancarlo Esposito, a reporter for an underground newspaper, is willing to dig beneath Roberts' veneer--a habit that leads to the film's ironic conclusion. Several well-known actors make cameo appearances as TV commentators, notably Tim Robbins' longtime partner Susan Sarandon. Bob Roberts started out as a Tim Robbins-directed short subject for the TV series Saturday Night Live, then was expanded into a $4 million feature.

Did not recognise Jack Black. Was looking at him and thinking: ''What else have I seen you in?'' Brilliantly done

Rock is not the devil's work it's magical and rad.

Jack Black in that scene literally changed my attitude about 'celebrity'. That there is an inherent danger in believing the manufactured persona.

"In 1992 a movie came out called "Bob Roberts" starring Tim Robbins. It's a political satire about a republican conservative folk singer that runs for office. Lennix has a supporting role(coincidentally so does James Spader). Watch this movie which is on Netflix right now and you'll see how eerily similar Lennix's voice is to Obamas. Also you'll see how they could be identical twins. Why is the date important? Because Harry Lennix says He first met and befriended Obama in 1992, the same year this movie came out. Draw your own conclusions."

This movie perfectly describes the modern left it's ironic it was made to lampoon the right
