I don’t know how I didn’t know this before, but Cristiano Ronaldo was named after his father’s favorite actor, who happened to be Ronald Reagan. I don’t know if this makes me like him more or less; more because the Gipper kicks ass, but less because he kicks ass at Presidenting, not acting.
Anyway, I think this clip tells a part of the story of Reagan’s presidency. The woman represents the USSR, with Reagan clearly bitch-slapping her/it. John Cassavetes represents John Hinckley, who takes a shot at the Gipper but ultimately does not take him out. I can only assume that Jodie Foster appears at some other point in this movie; she is not in the clip, however.
