John Keats, from a letter to Fanny Brawne

Simon Wilder: You asked the question, sir, now let me answer it. The beauty of the Constitution is that it can always be changed. The beauty of the Constitution is that it makes no set law other than faith in the wisdom of ordinary people to govern themselves.

Professor Pitkannan: Faith in the wisdom of the people is exactly what makes the Constitution incomplete and crude.

Simon Wilder: Crude? No, sir. Our "founding parents" were pompous, white, middle-aged farmers, but they were also great men. Because they knew one thing that all great men should know: that they didn't know everything. Sure, they'd make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. The president is not an "elected king," no matter how many bombs he can drop. Because the "crude" Constitution doesn't trust him. He's just a bum, okay Mr. Pitkannan? He's just a bum.

This is one of the best movies from the 90's and deserves way more recognition. Despite what these pictures and the publicity for this movie will have you believe, Brendan Fraser isn't the main character. (I'm not complaining about the eye candy though) Not really. The real star is Joe Pesci as Simon. He has the best lines and the frankly better character arc.

One of the things that kills me about this movie is that in the exchange above, the other person in the conversation is played by Gore Vidal. Yes, THAT Gore Vidal. Essayist, Public intellectual, Bisexual, Said gross things about the Roman Polanski case, had fueds with Truman Capote, William F. Buckley Jr., AND Norman Mailer, Had alleged love affairs with Anais Nin AND Fred Astaire, Gore Vidal.
