583: "My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I am the President." | The American President (1995)

1 hour 17 minutes

Walk with us through the West Wing and into the heart of The American President, where romance meets realpolitik under the soft glow of the White House. We’re diving into this Aaron Sorkin-penned blend of idealism, charm, and sharp political drama, unpacking the chemistry between Michael Douglas and Annette Bening, the dream of a more noble presidency, and what this film says about leadership, image, and the power of personal conviction.
