January 21, 2004 - Dean's parents find out he is "gay" and send him to a place called Mercy House to rid him of his gayness. Well, this one-time sexual encounter results in Mary getting pregnant. She hides her pregnancy with the help of my favorite character in the film, Casandra, who is the only Jewish girl at the high school.

[US] Vice (2018) - The story of Dick Cheney, an unassuming bureaucratic Washington insider, who quietly wielded immense power as Vice President to George W. Bush, reshaping the country and the globe in ways that we still feel today.
As a huge history nerd, especially presidential history, this was honestly one of the most disappointing movies I’ve ever seen. In part due to how good Adam Mckay’s dramatic directorial debut with The Big Short was, but mostly due to the complete lack of subtlety in any of the scenes. Such a narrow minded black and white view where Cheney is evil incarnate and Bush is this bumbling idiot being manipulated. (Which in a sense exonerates Bush from his many awful decisions) It’s basically a 2000s Huffington Post political cartoon stretched over 2 hours long. No issue, including Iraq, is ever really gone into depth. There’s no real conflict or depth into any of the characters. No real insightful social commentary except “this guys to blame for all our current problems” I don’t recommend this one for anyone who actually is interested in history More on reddit.com

Fact-checking 'Vice': Did Vice President Dick Cheney do all of that?
December 24, 2018 - In the film, Cheney’s heart attacks are so frequent, they seem played for laughs. He's prepared to die, but is saved by a heart transplant. In reality, Cheney has indeed survived five heart attacks and was convinced he was going to die in 2010.

Two Films That Captured Dick Cheney’s Power, And His Myth | Military.com
November 5, 2025 - Richard Dreyfuss in W. plays Cheney as granite—controlled breath, narrowed eyes—an advisory presence that chills the frame. (If you remember thinking “Is that him?”—yes, that’s Dreyfuss.) Christian Bale in Vice disappears beneath voice, posture, and prosthetics. The transformation isn’t a gimmick; it’s the film’s center of gravity, validated by the Oscar in Makeup & Hairstyling.

‘Vice’ Review: Dick Cheney and the Negative Great Man Theory of History - The New York Times
The way “Vice” tells it, Dick Cheney, who would go on to become the most powerful vice president in American history, started out as a young man in a hurry to nowhere in particular. After washing out of Yale, he retreated to his home state of Wyoming, pursuing his interests in booze and cigarettes and working as a utility-company lineman on the side. Dick was saved from ruin — or at least from the kind of drab destiny unlikely to result in a biopic — by the stern intervention of his fiancée, Lynne Vincent, who told her wayward beau that they were finished unless he pulled himself together.

Vice doesn’t want to humanize Dick Cheney. So instead, it (maybe) demonizes America.
December 27, 2018 - Throughout the film, McKay shoots Cheney so that he’s never quite looking at us. We’re never invited into his head, even when he’s doing things that other movies would play up as admirable — like when he forgoes seeking the presidency to keep his daughter, who is a lesbian, from having her private life dragged through the press. When he finally does look at us, it’s to deliver a self-pitying lecture about how he saved the country and maybe even the world, even as the rest of the movie has hammered home that he damned it instead, even if he’ll be dead long before the consequences come home to roost.

As VP, Cheney still manages to have regular meetings with energy CEOs' with plans to acquire Iraqi oilfields should they become available. The film returns to the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, as Cheney and Rumsfeld maneuver to initiate and then preside over the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, resulting in the killing of civilians and the torture of prisoners.

Saved!
Kids say the film is a mix of humor and coming-of-age themes that resonate well with teenagers, particularly those from private school backgrounds. Many viewers appreciate its positive messages about acceptance and individuality, even though some find it a bit racy or boring. ... In SAVED!, Mary ... The first thing teens figure out is that it's enticingly easy to make fun of believers in any category; what's nice about this movie is that it does so while still being entirely respectful of belief. It begins as a satire of new-agey holier-than-thou people who spend more time worrying about the a
