About this movie

The Parallax View, a superb drama about one man's paranoia that turns out to be total, incredible fact, ranks amount the best political thrillers. Warren Beatty is a news reporter who, along with seven others, witnesses the assassination of a political candidate. When the other seven die in "accidents," the newsman begins to doubt the official position: that a lone madman was responsible for the crime. He imagines a sophisticated network of highly trained murderers. But his nightmares pale against the bizarre truth he uncovers.

Watched this movie for the first time last year, I was totally gripped right to the end. I hope they never ruin this with a remake. The parallax test montage is outstanding and shows what the music composer Michael Small is capable of. Love this movie.

If you like political intrigue and want to see Beaty in his hay day. (Or is that "hey" day? What a weird phrase.)

Brilliant political thriller of the post Watergate/Vietnam War era. My favorite Warren Beatty flick too.
