Interviewing journalists, activists, legal experts, and many of the city's poor, "Giuliani Time" reveals that while the Mayor touted his Broken Windows, Quality of Life, and Zero Tolerance policies, the reality on the streets was police brutality, violations of the First Amendment and racist actions.

4.0 out of 5 starsYour Time's Up, Rudy
By Edwin C. Pauzer VINE VOICE on June 14, 2007
Format: DVD
The movie begins with Mayor Giuliani speaking at the Republican Convention delivering his adlib: "As I saw the smoke from the burning building and people jumping to their deaths, I turned to my police commissioner, Bernard Kerik and said, "Thank God, George Bush is our president.'" New Yorkers, being shameless in vocalizing their derision and adept at detecting hyperbole, erupted in "Bronx cheers" throughout the theater.

So begins the story dramatizing the rise of Rudy Giuliani in the New York Republican Party as an ambitious district attorney who was attempting to make his bones by prosecuting high profile cases. It profiles his political life through the end of second term as "hizzoner" of New York.

It illustrates in event after event, familiar to many New Yorkers the level to which one man would stoop to get even, and hurt people he considered his enemies. These "enemies" included his wife, the press, people who stole his thunder or the limelight, those who did not give him their utter fealty, those who disagreed with him, or just poor people whom he denied their constitutional right to federally funded food stamps.

This movie dramatically demonstrates Giuliani's intolerance of anyone's challenge to his authority, and his zero tolerance for criticism of any kind. But perhaps, his greatest hubris was his request of each mayoral candidate (whoever won) to delay being sworn in for three months. So great was Gotham's need for the guidance and leadership of Rudy Giuliani that he felt he was more important than the democratic process and the will of the people. He even wanted to go to court to get it.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsmandatory for 2008
By S. on June 26, 2007
Format: DVD
Every registered voter should see this film...bottom line, Giuliani is a scary man. He's a threat to your civil rights and will be far more oppressive than W.

Giuliani Time shows the real New York during Rudy's celebrated tenure and cuts through the crap of the 9/11 hero manufactured by the mainstream media. This documentary shows life through the eyes of those that have suffered through his policies. It demonstrates that the man is no friend to the average citizen, quick to squash civil rights and human dignity in order to further his agenda. He's a power hungry fool that will do our nation great harm, all to fuel his own personal gain.

5.0 out of 5 starsyou'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get mad as hell.
By Jessica on July 4, 2007
Format: DVD
Especially if you live in NYC - watch this film and take a minute to contemplate the damage wrought by the Giuliani administration and the ongoing effects of the policies that were effected under his regime. Excellent commentaries include Norman Siegel and Frances Fox Piven. Its really well done and also captures the perverse charisma of its star - even while expertly debunking the mythology surrounding his "success" as NYC mayor.

5.0 out of 5 starsEssential viewing for anyone planning to vote in 2008
By Robert Moore HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on March 4, 2007
Format: DVD
There have been few politicians in recent American history to have such a positive national image on the basis of such slender evidence. In fact, the more you know about

Rudy Giuliani, the less you will care for him. Especially now, with the media hanging the astonishing epithet "America's Mayor" on Giuliani is nothing short of outrageous. Such a tag overlooks almost everything in his two terms as mayor of New York.

Let's be honest. Giuliani is not a completely forgotten politician for one and only one reason: his physical presence near the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. To his credit and unlike our president (who was fearfully flying from one area of the United States to another--I still remember Peter Jennings's astonishment on learning that Bush was not flying back to Washington from Florida but to various spots west, baffled why the nation's leader wasn't . . . well, leading), Giuliani immediately put himself on the spot. Just as 9/11 saved Bush's political fortunes, so 9/11 saved Giuliani's. Indeed, when watching the documentary one is often struck by the resemblances between Bush and Giuliani. Both are antagonistic towards political dissent, both have adopted imperial styles of governing, both attempt to take credit for successes not due to them and refuse to assume responsibility for their failures, both are inflexible and incapable of changing course or listening to the advice of others, and both have little regard for civil rights protections in the Constitution. There is one major difference between the two: Bush seems to have little of the personal racial animosity that characterizes so many of Giuliani's policies. Bush's policies hurt blacks because as they fall into a poorer demographic and his policies favor primarily the well off.Read more ›
