Yes, I'll admit there are a few very funny parts in this movie, but the political statements Warren Beatty makes in this film is something worth experiencing. Speaking through Bulworth, Beatty tells politicians and everyone else what he thinks is wrong in the current system of American Government. At the beginning of the movie, Senator Bulworth is deeply disturbed about the state of his life. His wife cheats on him, he doesn't like lying all the time and Bulworth hires a hit-man to take care of his woes.
However, at the first stop on his campaign trail he is to give a speech in front of the African-American community. Bulworth steps up to the podium and has a change of heart. Since he knows his life is over, he starts speaking his mind more and more on television instead of reciting the same speech over and over again (kinda like Kerry did in the 2004 election.) Addressing issues like the absence of black leaders today and the kind of life black people are forced to live since the deterioration of the education system actually gives Bulworth a boost to his popularity. Afterwards Bulworth speaks about media and the extended reach that corporate control has on the government, the problem that Senators have paying media companies for TV time to have their political viewpoints expressed to the public, and the breakdown of racial harmony. In my opinion it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Especially with the twist at the end.
