At this point in his career, Aaron Sorkin‘s affinity for political entertainment has been discussed and dissected at length. The acclaimed screenwriter has set many of his films and television shows in the world of politics, each time approaching them with his patented brand of hopeful, idealistic, and humanizing storytelling. When mirrored against the increasingly divisive and fraught nature of real-life U.S. politics, Sorkin’s tales can unfavorably be considered absurd or foolish in their optimism and extreme reverence for American institutions. Still, even the biggest Sorkin detractors have to admit that the charm that emanates from his snappy dialogue, memorable speeches, and almost impossibly virtuous characters usually outweighs any of the potential corniness.
