A scene for scene comparison of Sarah Palin's actual media appearances and Julianne Moore's reenactments of them from the movie Game Change.

1. I enjoyed that movie.

Interesting video.

2. Sarah Palin playing the role of Sarah Palin.

Both Palin and Moore were acting.

15. +1 And they knew it. Don't know if you saw the movie, but when McCain's campaign

was just at the end of their rope because they couldn't get her to LEARN anything, they decided -- just have her memorize these replies to these questions she'll most likely be asked. And that's what they did. She was acting.

22. Made me sick to watch.The real Palin

The real Palin almost word for word was best illuminated by Catie Couric and Tina Fey. I still almost barf recalling her wink at the camera during the vice-presidental debate...a debate.
My friend said it's what you get when you drive through a trailer park with a hundred dollar bill stuck out the window...only herre it was a lot more money as all she has done is profiteer from the experience since.

If Hillary hadn't been running, McCain never would have chosen Palin, for she had never done anything of note. Another FOX goober.

3. Wow

I could only get to 1:30 and I couldn't take it anymore. Not that Moore isn't an accomplished actor but I cannot stand the vapid, vacant, empty choice tha McCain so flippantly threw out there. Thanks John I will guess you kick yourself a little every day for that debacle.....

4. Moore's good, but fails to pull off that hint of "con man's inner glee" that Palin allowed through..

.. instead she comes across as pure zealot, as Palin tried to portray herself.

18. Ain't that the truth. I notice the flaws more with the side to side playby, to be honest. n/t

5. Julianne Moore does deserve credit for an outstanding portrayal!

Steve Schmidt deserves credit for exposing Palin's unstable personality behind the scenes. She couldn't handle pressure, she knew less about the world than the average person, yet she was so head-strong & arrogant that the staffers couldn't teach her anything.

6. Tina Fey was better.

11. That's because Tina is primarily a comedic actress. Julianne is not.

Comedic will always have the upper hand portraying banality and stupidity.

Julianne acted excellently.

Tiny acted to Palin's banal soul.

[mucifer]

12. I know. I wasn't being too logical. Except that

Tina truly helped Barack Obama get elected.

7. The movie was informative and confirmed what

most of us believed. Julianne Morre was excellent and I was surprised how she was able to transform herself into Palin. The really scary part is that there are alot of ignorant Americans who worship that hate-mogering, empty headed, aged whore. Sorry, a lot of people will consider the "W" word inappropriate. I believe it is accurate and very relevant.

8. I don't think as Palin as a whore but I do think the advisers that made that decision where Whores

They basically sold their souls in hopes to win an election.

[SemperEadem]

9. she's an attention whore

the fact that she would pop up and think she has grounds to challenge Obama to a debate illustrates that fact vividly.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

14. Seconded.

10. Julianne Moore is too smart to seem that dumb.

She mimics her well, with her own spin, but you have to know banal to do banal.

Julianne is not banal.

[SunSeeker]

17. That's my problem with Moore's protrayal too.

Especially seeing the two side by side, Moore is SO much more human and likable. Palin comes off as a stream of consciousness, right wing automaton.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

13. I always recognize Julianne Moore's name, but I never remember who is until I see her smile

-Then it hits me; she's the one from American Beauty. She's only got the accent 99% right though. I don't think it would bug me watching the movie, but when you put her next to an actual soundbite of Sarah Palin, you can tell who's putting the accent on and who's the native speaker.

[trumad]

19. actually that was Annette Benning.

[lumpy]

16. I couldn't turn the damn video off. Had to vacate the forum.

Sarah's presence is far reaching apparently. Moore did a great job except she just couldn't quite capture the Palin screech.

[fightthegoodfightnow]

20. She nails it.

Hope she gets an Emmy.

[JBoy]

21. Best part at about 8:20. Woody Harrelson: "Name one fucking paper!"

[Nostalgic]

23. Woody Harrelson was also great in the movie.

He should at least be nominated for an Emmy, if not win one for best actor.
