The Manchurian Candidate Deleted Scene - How's Business? (2004) Meryl Streep Movie HD 

"I devour everything in my path, darling, top or bottom." Now there's a metaphor for any son to run the hell away from.

She definitely killed her own husband for his seat.

A superpower run by psychopaths...that could never happen.

Life imitates Art

She has a strong resemblance to Hilary Clinton

That line "I need to talk to you" at the end is in the main cut of the film and it struck me as apparently being an hallucination of some sort?

Suggestion: Meryl Streep portrays Livia the wife of Caesar Augustus. According to 'I Claudius' she was a real pistol whose favorite gladiator was a net thrower, the one with the trident and a net which had small lead weights around the edge to make a better throw. There must have been quite a few pistol wives of prominent Romans because one, unnamed, joked "We rule the world and our wives rule us". Legend has it Augustus prepared legal briefs to use when he had serious discussions with his wife. When Augustus died he said, "Well, Livia, did we play our parts well?", quoting a Greek play. Everybody quoted Greek plays then, even Julius when he said "Let the dice fly high" as he crossed the Rubicon with a forbidden army. Do I know my stuff or what, Charlie Chan?

Meryl was Brilliant in that scene. Liev is a Sensational Actor. I haven't seen the movie yet.

02:01 thank me letter

1:46 "...and just enough freedom to get themselves in trouble..." 🤫🤔😶

As a Director that would have been so hard to have the editor make the suggestion to CUT it OUT. It fits … but I can see it’s a much tighter cut & better without it. That’s the mark of a brilliant collaboration between editor & Director.

The scene with the canoe is a twist on the 1996 death of William Colby, former CIA Director in the early 70s

Not a Meryl Streep fan. A brilliant TECHNICAL actress. But not one who works from the soul. She's all pretense (that is, when and where, unlike in this movie, soul in a character is required). Absolutely any role she's played, or ever will play, I'd prefer, for example, Glenn Close or Cate Blanchett to portray. Hands down. Any day. Whereas Streep manipulates by technique, twitches, accents, makeup, wardrobe -- absent truly palpable (versus "showy") depth. A perceptive viewer can see her wheels turning. All. The. Time. But with the likes of Close or Blanchett, it's seamless perfection, the real deal. Streep, by comparison, is popular, and held with glazed-eye adulation. Her performances are just that, affected, easy to swallow. The masses are always easily manipulated and easily impressed, lemmings to the sea. Whereas, Close and Blanchett challenge their audiences, fearlessly and honestly, to go to complex depths with them. Streep only pretends to. This woman never convinces me. I'm constantly aware that she's 'acting'. It's beyond annoying, and her hollow pretense corrupts/detracts from what may be a truly worthy movie. Because she's a technician type of actor, her performances wade in the shallow end of the pool. True artists don't wade. They dive.

Did they have a fling back in the day

2:22 - I always wondered what became of Eleanors husband/ Raymonds father. In the movie they seem to mention him only once, that he died suddenly many years earlier while in office. My imagination goes in many different directions, a tragic accident or a deliberate assassination? This deleted scene definitely implies it was deliberate. And if so, by whom?

It was a good idea to cut it. That scene was only for dummies that didn't figure out what the movie is about by that point, and we all knew by then.

Anoconda 1998 Ka villain actor 🤔🤔🤔
