Avis sur le produitThe Presidents Analyst (DVD, 2004)

A remarkable film on many levels.

I was a teenager when this movie came out and it is amazing to see how much the world has changed. I sat with my 40 year old son and explained what was normal, what was progressive, what was innovative and how big a star James Coburn was in the 1960s. Even I was surprised by how much of my personal socialization came from this film. It changed my world view and I am happy it did. This movie is entertaining on its own but the historical and social value would make it a good choice for college courses on American history, cold war, women's studies, African American studies, etc.Lire l'avis complet...

Brilliant, Funny and Unsettling

Imagine a world where a massive, all-seeing, all-knowing big tech company keeps track of everyone, everywhere. Sound eerily familiar? Well, although it's a comedy, The President's Analyst darkly predicted such a world more than 50 years ago. Set in the swinging late 60's where fascination with espionage was at its height, this film is brilliantly written hilarious and unsettling way to spend a couple of hours.Lire l'avis complet...

Nostalgia!

This movie was very nostalgic for us, as we were teenagers in the 1960's. We didn't even offer to loan it to our younger son, though, because he wouldn't have had a CLUE what was going on! GREAT film for baby boomers and people who enjoy "our" era!Lire l'avis complet...

Overlooked-Classic

It is possible that younger people won’t quite understand the inner-meaning of this one. To really “get-it” you have to understand the general political mood of the nation, at that time. In-short, it helps if you lived through that era.Lire l'avis complet...

Analysis of The President's Analysist

This movie is as interesting and thought-provoking today as it was when it was first released. The idea of the phone company coercing the President to sign legislation that would require new borns to have a device implanted in their brain that would allow them to make calls just by thinking of the number they wanted to call is outrageously diabolical; and yet, today, this kind of scheme is totally within the realm of reality and possibility. The scenes with the "typical American family" were outrageously funny but plausable even by today's standards. The film also contained some bits of timeless wisdom such as the scene in which the Russian agent tells James Coburn's character that every day the USSR gets more like the U.S.A. and vice versa. And the entire cast, including one of my all-time favorite actors, James Coburn, were superb. Like all good movies, this one stands the test of time.Lire l'avis complet...

A bit corny but fun.

It is a movie that for it's time was underrated (in my opinion). Keeps you in the dark until the end. The enemy for this time period turns out to be the ------- Co. Everyone in the 50's & 60's can relate.Lire l'avis complet...

The President's Analyst

This is a very entertaining story with lots of strange twists in the plot. The
story is about a psychiatrist who is chosen to be the President's analyst. What
I like about it is the "time capsule" aspect of it. It is filmed in the 60's
with psychedelic topics and lots of period music. Many of the attitudes and
strange ideas that floated about in those times are depicted, from LSD to free
love. The villian turns out to be most unexpected, the phone company.Lire l'avis complet...

The President's Analyst

I LOVE this movie. I think it is awonderful spoof of cold-war paranoia and groovy 60's movies. It seems the only other person I know that likes it is my brother, Tim. Why all my friends and my wife dislike it I can't say. You owe it to yourself to see this movie.
