See Reagan Movie

I had the unique opportunity to attend the Nashville premiere of the Reagan movie featuring Dennis Quaid. It was a masterful telling of many of the events of the Twentieth Century, but much more with soulful portrayals of the human beings who made that history. Quaid's performance was particularly compelling with him capturing the essence of the late President from his initial foray into acting all the way to his passing from Alzheimer's. Quaid obviously could not play "Dutch" as a child, nor as a young man working as a lifeguard and playing college football, but when Quaid, who is into his seventies appears on the screen, he captures the verve and expectations of a twenty-something trying to make his way in Hollywood, and his vocalizations and facial expressions actually bring Forty back to life.
