Che, Milk, W.: The Problem with Political Biopics

It’s cheap to go for the easy analysis the cultural marketplace (biopic = Oscar for Best Actor) or a more involved answer discussing the emergence of Obama as a rock star/Hollywood styled politician and/or Hollywood saying goodbye to the Bush years.

There’s more than a little truth to these explanations, but not the whole truth.
