What if Hart hadn't dropped out, and, in spite of the scandal, had won the election? How would a President Hart have changed the history of the world since 1988? Exactly! I wish I had a time machine to go back and prevent what happened that caused him to drop out of the race. So many things would be different, if many events hadn’t happened, like if JFK and RFK hadn’t been assassinated.

Hart is known for his prescience -- and there were a few key developments that he predicted. One of the most important is how the search for oil (to support economic growth) will become an anchor of economic-military policy. Would the Gulf War have erupted? Continuing from this development, would it have led to September-11 and then the coalition of forces against Saddam? And presumably the rise of militant ISIS? Would Hart have had the political will to redirect the military-industrial complex into a more benign direction?
Just some thoughts - as seen from an outside view. As mentioned by some, Hugh among them, what happens to America affects the whole world.

Charlize was the lead in Jason Reitman's other 2018 movie, TULLY.

This last paragraph explains what the critics fail to see. Instead of the film makers telling us what to think, the audience is compelled to frame their own point of view.

Very astute summary, Kathy ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) It's a pity that the filmmakers of The Front Runner have to make every effort to entice audiences to see the movie and its themes...and yet we see another blockbuster jostling people to run to the box office ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) There's much less interest in seeing movies meant for adult minds now...and some people now long for movies that stimulate the minds. Even here in my country, there is no sign yet that THE FRONT RUNNER will even be released (the only announced Asian release, per IMDB, is Japan - I wonder if this is due to their interest in Hugh Jackman, as his movies have had strong success there - Showman/LesMiserables/Wolverine?). Sad, in our case we are facing our midterm elections in a few months time and this would have been a time-appropriate movie. But no announcements to-date ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Jo

"A picture is worth a thousand words!"
An idiom that couldn't be more true in this screen shot from THE FRONT RUNNER.

Couldn't connect to the live show. Were there other interesting exchanges with Hugh?

Couldn't connect to the live show. Were there other interesting exchanges with Hugh? Jo The co-hosts referred to HJ as “the great Hugh Jackman.” I was hoping Reidel would ask HJ about upcoming stage plans, but he didn’t. Riedel and Berman learned from Hugh that the infamous Monkey Business lap photo was revealed many weeks after Hart had dropped out of the race. Len Berman jokingly asked HJ how on earth could he be friends with Michael Riedel. They all laughed. Riedel said that he’s actually learned a few things about sports from partnering with Berman, to which —if I recall correctly — Hugh said “You mean we can actually talk about the Mets, Giants...”. But Riedel laughed and indicated he couldn’t go that far. I haven’t re-heard the interview on podcast yet, so that’s about all the extras I can remember. Ellen

Can't get access to Howard Stern show either. Some discussions repeated on HJ-related tweets, though.

http://instagram.com/p/BqH-z2_neA5 Viola is a lucky charm for Hugh. She has appeared in only 2 movies with HJ, but those movies became very easy fan favorites ( Kate and Leopold & Prisoners). JO
