Stockman's reasons for allowing the interviews remain open to speculation. Like Nixon, he probably had a bit too much of the desire to be a hero, an ill-timed lust that undermined the situation in the end. Reagan's reasons for keeping Stockman on in face of the immense pressure to fire him are obvious. Getting rid of the number one man in the president's fight to revolutionize economic policy would be an admission that the remarks deserve credence, one that an administration that will soon have to defend its posture in Congress can ill afford to make...

In each story a successful man throws aside his calm, well-ordered life with its calm, well-ordered love (wife and kids in one, finance in the other) in order to reach out for the mystery and excitement of an uncatchable woman. The lust and pettiness of Irons' 20th century highlight the deeper passions of the 19th-century character Irons plays. The structure of the film tries to focus on the passions within Irons as he plays two very different moths hovering around much the same flame...
