  • U.S. Hillary Clinton rules out running for presidential elections in 2020

How do you go from vague and incompetent to a person to wish him the best of luck in the margin of a few hours, perhaps minutes? The magic of cinema? In fact, in the documentary 'Hillary' just presented at the Berlinale, the one who was the last Democratic candidate for president of the United States (or first if she looks at the genre) refers to Bernie Sanders - at this time in liza for the precious candidacy ... and going up - as a guy who in all the years he was a congressman did absolutely nothing. "He had only one senator who supported him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he did nothing . He was a career politician. It makes me feel bad to see all those people in good faith trapped by him." Do you think the same now? "I will support the candidate who comes out. The president of the United States is a danger to democracy," was the response he offered at the press conference on Tuesday morning. That said, movie stuff.

'Hillary', directed by Nanette Burstein and produced by Hulu, is four hours of thorough review of a lifetime, that of Hillary Clinton (Chicago, 1947). In total there are 35 hours of recording-interviewing that are compressed in a miniseries that will premiere on March 6. Everything happened in the middle of the 2016 campaign and, hence, the virulence of the statements above. The film does not leave a single issue to be addressed and, although the voices of the enemies (or only opponents) are missing, from the Lewinsky case to the innumerable infidelities of her husband Bill, going through the most uncomfortable matters of her public life and Private are treated to the touch. Without delay. And she confirms this: "The conditions imposed were the accepted conditions , " says the protagonist. "We did not want a hagiography but a deep, human portrait," the director replies protocol.

Along the way, we see Hillary reflect on the hours spent on makeup and hairdressing as one of her team's biggest concerns. In the computation they leave whole weeks. For being a woman. "The funny thing is that then we lost to the worst man in the world," he reflects amusedly. He also tells how many of those who stopped voting did so for not having the courage to divorce. Of course, immediately, they confess that they would return to ... Bill Clinton . For being non-woman.

"I want to think that my candidacy has been a breakthrough. Much of the campaign was focused on my status as a woman. I hope that, as of now, that does not happen again," he says and continues: "In any case, many of those who used the gender issue did so for a clearly instrumental reason, they did n't attack me for being a woman, they attacked me for what I thought and who I was , for defending NATO, for defending Europe ... For as long as I was Secretary of State my popularity was the highest imaginable. And many believed that to sink me it was worth anything. Especially, the one who was a woman. "

Hillary says that nothing has to add to Harvey Weinstein's sentence. "Speak for itself." Now that you know what you know, how do you feel knowing that you put money in your campaign? "He not only put money in mine. He contributed to all the presidential campaigns in favor of the Democratic candidate. Obama included. In any case, the important thing is that justice has been done." And how about the promise of a pardon on Trump's part for Assange if he didn't reveal the Russian connection? "That is in the London courts and we will have to wait." The one who was the greatest diplomat in the world continues in her thirteen. Legal obligation.

In what is shown less protocol is in everything that has to do with the president. The current, not the husband. His, the opposite of her. "It is a danger to democracy because it has also given strength to all the authoritarian parties in the world. He understands politics as an exercise that consists of insulting and denigrating the weak , minorities, defenseless ... It is an inspiration for authoritarian politicians around the world who believe that power can be exercised uncontrollably. " He also comments that, despite the documentary itself, he is interested in the future, not the past. "Climate change, public health insurance ... All that is what concerns me even if it is from the other side," he says assertively, convinced, perfectly presidential.

And about Sanders? And here, the silence. The silence he did not do hardly anything: "Nobody loves him". Go with the cinema.
