Yes, completely different.

I am really interested in the opinion of people that have watched it, myself. What was your impression as a viewer? I agree with the t-dub. The meeting scene was especially great, and condy playing the *cute* "yeswoman" was fabulous. The disappointment that Powell showed was fantastic. I never thought he "fit in" with that particular group, how it played out, or the possibilities, was on my mind.

I wondered if he just acquiesced, so he would be able to know what they were going to do anyway, not wanting to be shut out of the "people in the know" group.....Trying to stay in the loop of a group that stands by "either for or against" policies. I mean, wouldn't you feel responsible to stay in the group just to babysit to see what they were going to do next? If you say no and you are made to resign, you won't have any control whatsoever of their crazy-making in the future.

I like Powell. I've never understood any of his dealings with that administration. He seems like he isn't nuts. How did he manage is a great question, and I like that this movie attempted the small answer.
