All the Way (Digital HD/DVD)

It's an interesting portrayal of the 1964 election from LBJ's perspective. Shows the intensity of him and his dramatic excesses -- in his persuasion of others, in his anger, and, more laughably, in his self-pity too. The recent effort to blame LBJ for JFK's assassination is faulty. Even JFK knew there were assassination risks everywhere, so LBJ believing JFK might be killed is not evidence of any participation in it. What's strange is that the alleged guy who killed JFK (Oswald) had also attempted to kill a right-wing segregationist agitator in Spring 1963 (Ret. Gen. Walker). So the guy who killed JFK was pro-desegregation, JFK was pro-desegregation, and LBJ was pro-desegregation. Aside from the Vietnam War, which is admittedly a big "aside", LBJ was responsible for many things we recognize as good about modern American life and government. Anti-poverty, Medicare, Medicaid, fair practices in hiring, promotions, education, public accommodations, housing, and more. All Great Society laws and programs. LBJ is overlooked by recent historians for one important reason. He wasn't from the Northeast.

This is a dramatic historical account of how Lyndon Johnson achieved his reputation for both personal coarseness and political clout. The dramatization covers the period from the assassination that lifted him from the Vice Presidency to the landslide victory he won in November 1964, with the knives about to come out (he knew) not long thereafter. The lines are powerful, and Bryan Cranston gives a riveting, kinetic performance.

Too expensive. But I wanted to see it and had no other choice.

Did LBJ come out of the grave here or what? Bryan Cranston is spot on in this role and so much like the late LBJ that you would think he was him! Voice, mannerisms, wardrobe and makeup...just eerie. I see why he won the Tony for his portrayal. Brilliant.

Everyone in America should see this movie and understand this part of our History! Speilberg proves his genius once again. Perfectly cast. (Only King didn't look like King, but acted brilliantly like him). Americans need to know what, why, and how things happened. Why we are at the place we are now. Southern Democrats leaving the party. WHAT A GREAT PRESIDENT THIS WAS (notwithstanding the tragedy of Vietnam). In his humanity, he maneuvered for DOING WHAT WAS RIGHT, which is all a man can do on this go-round!

brian cranston killed it and so did all of the other actors. its definitely interesting if youre into presidents and the US political history (im not really) it shows a pretty accurate depiction of how our government works on the upper level which is cool, but its low key boring ad the ending is super anticlimactic. still brian cranston absolutely killed it

this was a very good movie and the second one , we have seen. the other with woody harrelson. the acting was great. it keeps your attention. the poor man did so much good and the evil ones gave him so much pain and hatred. he did a lot for civil rights,that we have today, but the evil racists have not let up and now we are back, at the beginning, in this country.it's a nightmare.

I first saw this film on HBO and I was so impressed that I could hardly wait until I had the opportunity to see it again since it was not released in theaters. Brian Cranston was terrific. The language was strong but I think that was typical of the way LBJ. Frank Langella was also excellent. Anthony Mackie was very good but did not resemble Martin Luther King as I remembered him. I remember Martin Luther King as being physically larger in appearance and much more commanding. All of the supporting players were excellent. Melissa Leo as Lady Bird at times reflected how badly she felt when LBJ reacted so badly when she tried to consoled him. Excellent film.Barry Goodkin

the story of American President Johnson and civil rights legislation in 1964. Best viewing if you like you're politics technical and detailed. Great performances with humourous touches, thoroughly recommended

This is a great movie and was highly recommended to me by a friend in the US. I was recently in San Antonio so could also relate to the environment around LBJ's ranch, etc..

ケネディ暗殺からLBJの大統領選挙での当選までの一年間を歴史的事実に忠実に演じた劇作品を映画化したもの。内容は特に1964年の公民権法の立法化にフォーカスしており、南部の共和党タカ派政治家たちとの戦いをどうやって勝ち抜いたかがつぶさに描かれています。例のペンタゴンペーパーでも大ウソつき扱いされ、ベトナム戦争を悪化させた人物として時にボロカスに書かれてしまうLBJですが、少し見直すきっかけとなりました。日本語字幕バージョンが出ていないのが極めて残念です。当時の時代背景だけでなく、今のトランプ政権に至るまでを理解するうえでも大変役に立つ内容です。

Bryan Cranston did a truly wonderful job of being LBJ. I hope there is a Part 2 to cover the period from 1964 to 1968.

Great show
