Primary Colors
The movie Primary Colors is about a grey-haired, gravel-voiced, doughnut-loving Governor from a Southern American state who is running in a US presidential campaign. He has a colourful past that is in danger of grabbing frontpage deadlines and a no-nonsense lawyer wife, whose accent would be right at home in a prestigious Chicago law school. The similarities with president Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary seem hard to ignore.
The book Primary Colors, published under the byline "Anonymous", became best-seller when it came out not long after the 1992 American presidential election in which Clinton was elected to the White House. It appeared to be a thinly veiled account of what happened during that campaign. But Mike Nichols, the director of Primary Colors the movie, insists that there is no direct relationship between fiction and fact.
John Travolta, who plays governor Jack Stanton, agrees. He says that of course there are elements of Clinton in the movie character, but then there are also elements of previous presidents--Jimmy Carter, Ronaid Reagan, Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy.
Emma Thompson, the British actress who, as Stanton's with, masters an educated Chicago accent for her role, says the idea that Primary Colors is a straight rerun of real life is far to simplistic, and it annoys her to hear of their production talked about in his way.
"The movie may have connections with the Clintons but it is fiction," she says. "It deserves to be reviewed and written about seriously. "The furthest she will go is to admit:" You couldn't have the film without the Clintons, without the Kennedys, without the media, without any of us."
The film scored well at the box office and critics were enthusiastic about the performances from Travolta and Thomson and co-stars Kathy Bates, as a political fixer, Larry Hagman, as Stanton's principal political opponent, Billy Bob Thornton, as a political strategist, and Adrian Lester, as Stantons aide.
Director Nichols admits to having had some worries about the spillover of real-life scandal on his film, "Of course we were concerned when the Monica Lewinsky business became frontpage news. Life moved along with us in a war we did not expect. But we made this film as an entertainment, and that is how people eventually saw it."
Movie-goers in America were constantly reminded that Primary Colors was 'about them as much as it was about the Clintons or any other high-profile political couple. "It's about American politics, life, marriage, fidelity', infidelity--and doughnuts."

Why was Masabumix denounced as a disgrace to Japan？
Since the Titanic vanished beneath the frigid waters of the North Atlantic 85 years ago, nothing in the hundreds of books and films about the ship has ever hinted at a connection to Japan -- until now. Director James Cameron's '200 million epic Titanic premiered at the Tokyo International Fihn Festival last Saturday. Among the audience for a glimpse of Hollywood's costliest film ever descendants of the liner's only Japanese survivor.
The newly rediscovered diary of Masabumix Hosono has Titanic enthusiasts in a frenzy, the document is scrawled in 4,300 Japanese character on a rare piece of RMS Titanic stationery. Written as the Japanese bureaucrat steamed to safety in New York aboard the ocean liner Carpathia, which rescued 706 survivors, the account and other documents released by his grandchildren last week offer a fresh -- and poignant -- reminder of the emotional wreckage left by the tragedy.
Hosono, then 42 and an official at Japan's Transportation Ministry, was studying railway networks in Europe. He boarded the Titanic in Southampton, en route home via the US. According to Hosono's account, he was awakened by a loud knock on the door of his second - class deck with the steerage passengers. Hosono tried to race back upstairs, but a sailor blocked his way. The Japanese feigned ignorance and pushed past. He arrived on deck to find lifeboats being lowered into darkness, flares bursting over the ship and an eerie human silence. He wrote:" Not a single passenger would howl or scream."
Yet Hosono was screaming inside. Women were being taken to lifeboats and men held back at gunpoint. "I tried to prepare myself for the last moment with no agitation, making up my mind not to do any- thing disgraceful as a Japanese," he wrote. "But still I found myself looking for and waiting for any possible chance of survival." Then an officer shouted, "Room for two more " Hosono recalled:" I myself was deep in desolate thought that I would no more be able to see my beloved wife and children." Then he jumped into the boat.
When Hosono arrived in Tokyo two months later, he was met with suspicion that he had survived at someone else's expense. The culture of shame was especially strong in prewar Japan. In the face of rumors and bad press, Hosono was dismissed from his post in 1914. He worked at the office part -time until retiring in 1923. His grandchildren say he never mentioned tile Titanic again before his death in 1939.
Even then, shame continued to haunt the family. In newspapers, letters and even a school textbook, Hosono was denounced as a disgrace to Japan. Reader's Digest reopened the wound in 1956 with an a- bridged Japanese version of Walter Load's best seller. A Night to remember, which described , Anglo - Saxons" as acting bravely on the Titanic, while "Frenchmen, Italians, Americans, Japanese and Chinese were disgraceful." Citing his father's diary, one of Hosono's sons, Hideo, launched a letter -writing campaign to restore the family name. But nobody in Japan seemed to care.
The diary resurfaced last summer. A representative for a US foundation that plans to hold an exhibition of Titanic artifacts in Japan next August found Hosono's name on a passenger list. A search led him to Ha-ruomix Hosono, a well- known composer, and to his cousin Yuruoi, Hideo's daughter. She revealed that she had her grandfather's dairy as well as a collection of his letters and postcards. "I was floored," says Mixchael Findley, cofounder of the Titanic International Society in the US "This is a fantastic, fresh new look at the sinking and the only one written on Titanic stationery immediately after the disaster."
The information allows enthusiasts to rearrange some historical minutes, such as which lifeboat Hosono jumped into. More chilling, the account confirms that the crew tried to keep foreigners and third - class passengers on the ship's lower deck, effectively ensuring their name. T
