"When the president is most attracted to me, it is the White House cinema," former US President Bill Clinton once joked.
The cinema that Clinton refers to is the "Royal Theater" on the east side of the White House, which is dedicated to the president's screening of national films. Since the Roosevelt era, this theater is the "special welfare" of the President of the United States and his family, and now assumes the role of the president's speech rehearsal field. In the days when there are no screening arrangements, the President’s cinema is regularly open to the public.
Not as imaginary as "high on"
Unlike the imaginary "Large" style, the cinema is only 90 square meters in size and has more than 40 seats for viewing. It is more appropriate to say that it is a "cinema" than a "screening room". The interior of the room is mainly red, the first row of seats is particularly large, and there is a footstool in front of the seats. According to reports, this is a special seat for the "first family" or important guests. The rear seats are similar to ordinary theaters, except that the seats are slightly larger. Overall, this presidential cinema is not luxurious, but the details are quite elegant, taking into account the identity of the viewer.
The White House has always had a tradition of showing movies, but it wasn't until 1942 that the White House changed a cloakroom into a movie theater today, with the advice of the movie "fan" Roosevelt. Although the successive presidents of the United States have their own good, but they all like to watch movies without exception, this "useful" cinema has remained so far.
Under the maintenance of the White House's masters, the cinema's projection equipment is also advancing with the times. For example, Eisenhower ordered the installation of a sofa, and Reagan carried out an all-round upgrade of the projection equipment. During the term of George W. Bush, "The First Lady" Laura refurbished the theater, and the main color changed from elegant beige to now retro. red. It is said that when Eisenhower was in power, he had seen more than 200 movies in the White House Cinema. It is no wonder that he would order the replacement of the icy chair into a sofa to increase comfort. However, his record has not been maintained for a long time. The biggest fan of the White House so far is President Carter, who has watched more than 480 movies in this cinema.
White House
The White House Cinema is not open to ordinary viewers. Unlike the release screens of commercial cinemas, the films shown here are based on the personal taste of the president, and the film is regularly posted on the White House website. Although the president is the core of American politics, the White House’s screenings are not limited to serious political subjects. Successive presidents have different preferences and the types of films are diverse.
Eisenhower, who is a soldier, loves heroism and masculine western movies. Kennedy likes to relax with "Roman Holiday". Nixon's favorite is the legendary "General Patton". Reagan's actor is unique to "The Sound of Music". Bell, Clinton is a fan of Fight Club, and "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Lincoln Biography" are the favorite of the Obama family. According to statistics, the classic western film "Noon" is the most frequently shown in the White House cinema, which is the favorite of the previous presidents.
In addition to the very comfortable viewing conditions, the president can enjoy another privilege. The latest blockbuster can be sneak peek. Most of the copies of such films are provided by large studios such as Disney and Fox. In the eyes of many filmmakers, getting the president's approval in the first place is tantamount to the most effective advertising and public relations.
Obama's friend George Clooney's new film "The Guardian of the Monuments" was first released at the White House Cinema. Although the president’s hand-picked effect on the topic of creation, the “Guardian of the Monument†ended up with a bleak box office and a bad word of mouth. After all, for the American audience, the president is only a political leader, not a professional-level film master. The White House's platoon can only explain the president's personal taste.
The president watched the film around the Oscar in some special periods, and the president’s film was also "avoided." For example, to balance the relationship with Hollywood stars, does not affect the Oscar judges vote, Obama did not arrange to show any candidate for the Oscars before the Oscars. In addition to watching movies, the White House Cinema has an important use. Before the US President makes an important speech, he often comes here to rehearse and then face the TV camera.
