In that scene where Streep explains why Washington will assassinate her rival on stage, and that Schrieber must be President in his dead father's place, Streep admires, praises and then, with a dark and passionate glare....tries to seduce her own son?
Is this scene inferring that she is imbalanced, incestuous or simply zealously megalomaniac?
The film as a whole implies that she is all three.
shareCould be so. An incestuous relation could be the reason she once scare away Jocelyn.
shareOf course they couldn't put this in the original movie but in the original novel it's revealed that yes, there is some kind of incestuous relationship between them. When it starts exactly I don't know because the writing about it was very vague, I kind of got the impression it only started at that one scene where she's with him.
shareThey didn't pull it from the original movie.

This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
Exactly. And really, that's how the Illuminati operates. It's difficult for me to imagine that this movie was ever re-made. I guess "they" count on the American sheeple to not critically think.
shareThat scene was intensely awkward and creepy.
She was about to kiss him on his lips, looking at him with intense lusty eyes.
Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.
I think that scene, creepy as it is, reveals how much in love with herself the mother is. Her son is an extension of her ambition. It seems her lust for power is satisfied in deviant way through that incestuous relationship.
