Although this could be seen as a creatively confining, Pennebaker uses the images representative of Clinton’s celebrity in juxtaposition with scenes of George and James from within the campaign offices to develop a sense of intimacy with James and George. The cutting between the public and private spheres of the campaign reveals to the viewer the inner complexities that exist within a political machine.
