Citações
James Madison: If we could just get the states together, to talk outside their cursed legislatures.
George Mason: Talk? About what?
James Madison: Well, talk about trade, about laws, about a more effective union. About anything. If, if honest, influential men, met together representing their states, men like General Washington, and Dr. Franklin, and yourself, sir. I have the greatest admiration for your writing Virginia's Constitution and her Declaration of Rights. Sir, may I count on your help?
George Mason: I am a friend to your cause, sir. But the indispensable friend is General Washington. As he goes, so goes America.
James Madison: Yes sir. And we must get him. Unless our national government is strengthened, then the states will soon turn to the sword to resolve their separate jealousies.

"Good enough" treatment of an excellent topic

A Congress of the United States was never so well portrayed, was it? I wish there were more hours of this.

I am a fan of "The West Wing" and "1776" and in some senses, this film is even better. The acting is excellent. Documentary logic (the writing) and production values are too. Artistic sensibility -- same. Nuances: same, I think! The film was produced by a university film department while its actors are talented career actors.

The topic was so large that I think we must forgive the shortage of scenes with women because they were not delegates to the Constitutional Convention. It is a movie that can seem too long only if one does not take breaks to move around.

Among the high points of this film are portrayals of the delegates. The actor's so-so resemblance to George Washington is bridged by a successful portrayal how grave and lovable he was remembered to be. Benjamin Franklin and others are brought to life, it seems.
