History YMMV / Bulworth

* HilariousInHindsight: Or a FunnyAneurysmMoment, depending on your leanings. The film has been [[http://www.talkhouse.com/bulworth-beatty-trump-and-the-dream-of-the-political-truth-teller/ frequently noted]] as having arguably predicted the rise of Bernie Sanders and UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump in the 2016 election. On one hand, Senator Bulworth is a leftist who castigates the [[InNameOnly ostensibly left-wing]] Democratic Party for being [[MirroringFactions run by the same plutocrats as the Republicans]], criticisms that would be made for real by Sanders in his primary campaign against UsefulNotes/HillaryRodhamClinton, the wife of UsefulNotes/BillClinton, who was President at the time the film was made and led the party's move away from the political left. On the other, Bulworth's deliberately {{troll}}ish campaign strategy, making outrageous and offensive statements as a form of "tell it like it is" populism, reflects how Trump's ControversyProofImage helped catapult him into the limelight.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The film is an angry satire of the American Democratic Party's 90's Liberalism, where they more or less left little room for agency in the new political spectrum to the poor and marginalized, with politicians courting minority votes despite not doing anything to ameliorate their problems, by blackmailing them by noting they have no other real alternatives.
-->'''Angry black woman:''' Are you sayin' the Democratic Party don't care about the African-American community?
-->'''Bulworth''': Isn't that obvious? You got half your kids are out of work and the other half are in jail. Do you see any Democrat doing anything about it? Certainly not me! So what're you gonna do, vote Republican? Come on! Come on, you're not gonna vote Republican! Let's call a spade a spade!

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Plenty of rap music (most of them being political in keeping with the film) to go around.
** Music/EnnioMorricone's score is amazing as well.
