Bulworth is a political movie made prior to 9/11. Syriana is a political movie made after 9/11. Bulworth is funny, sometimes hilarious. Syriana is serious to the point of being depressing. The comedic plot of Bulworth follows a traditional storytelling structure. The papery plot of Syriana was soaked overnight in alkali, removed and hung out to dry during a desert sand storm, lit on fire, and finally run over by a Hummer. Warren Beatty wrote and directed Bulworth, and played the lead role. The main character in Bulworth inspires hope, only to be assassinated in the last reel. The main character in Syriana, played by George Clooney, demonstrates the ruthlessness and cruelty of geo-politics, only to be blown to bits by a rocket in the last reel.
