i go bananas for ronald reagan.
27 September 2021
I am a HUGE fan of this movie. I grew up in Texas during the Reagan administration, but I never knew much about him due to not seeing the outside world very often. However, every adult around me seemed to love him, constantly talking about the "tinkle down" or something. But that political talk never interested me. I am a man of convictions, and I can tell a good man when I see one. And once I saw this film, I knew that Reagan was not only a good man, but was correct on everything.

Let me give some background information. I love chimpanzee movies. I actually love them so much that I chose to pursue a career in chimp wrangling. And out of all of my experience both with chimps in film, and real chimps, this film has given me the most real interpretation of the complex interpersonal relationships that chimps have. I love this movie, and I love Ronald Reagan. This movie, and Reagans phenominal acting has convinced me beyond a doubt that Ronald Reagan is our best president. I still know very little about his actual policy, but what I do know is that the chemistry between him and that chimp was phenomenal. By the end, I was legitimately convinced that Reagan had Bonzo the chimp as his running mate, and believed this for 6 years until someone told me that Bush was his running mate instead. This movie was amazing, and my only qualm was that Reagan didn't explain his political stances more, which would have helped me support him even more. Overall this movie had some lost potential, but was still an AMAZING piece of cinema.
