Lonesome Rhodes: I'm not just an entertainer. I'm an influence, a wielder of opinion, a force... a force!

Knocked my socks off. As familiar as I was with Andy Griffith, I didn’t know he had this in him. He is flying off the screen here, yet somehow never feels like he’s overacting.
It’s a 2 hour film that feels like it’s 3 years. Which I mean fully as a compliment because of how much story they’re able to pack in here. With its satisfying beginning making way subtlety into true horror.
Best movie I’ve seen this year so far, one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time.

Not the best viewing experience (it sorta lagged) but the themes are great! Lonesome Rhodes is one of the most fascinating characters I’ve seen from 50s Cinema and the premise is still as important and prevalent today as it was back in 1957. Can’t believe Rhodes isn’t a bigger part of the cultural zeitgeist today because the performance and influence on contemporary film is very apparent. Great film!

Andy Griffith, the only famous person to come out of my hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina, stars as Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes, a charming drifter from the South who quickly rises to Television stardom, and begins to translate that stardom into political power. Andy Griffith delievered a chilling performance in his dramatic debut that deserved him an Oscar for Best Actor.

This film is simply fantastic and scarily accurate to the current state of society where personality wins the votes, not the ideals. It's that kind of strategy that elected Donald Trump to the Presidency in 2016, When he first ran for President, he hosted his own reality TV show, and gained the blind faith in millions of Americans, but when Lonesome Rhodes pointed out how he's got "The people eating out of his hand" on live TV, his popularity along with his power vanished, which is probably how it would've happened in the 1950's, but in 2016, Trump could "Shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue and he wouldn't lose any votes," and instead of an instant plummet in the polls, he only faced more applause.
