Movie Reviews of A Perfect Candidate
Movie Review: Great Documentary About an American Hero
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a refreshingly crisp look inside a major statewide campaign. Robb (D) had major support from his national party and still struggles to win, while North (R) was really abandonded by his national party and yet still comes close to a victory. The movie really exposes how much major media bias and closed door armtwisting can alter a campaign outcome. The viewer begins to wonder by the end movie if North might have won had he hired a more professional campaign manager? The major support clearly given to Robb's campaign by the White House seems to go unanticipated and unnoticed by North's campaign. This movie also highlights the Republican attitude of constantly underestimating and misunderstanding the left's continual and abhorent use of the race card to win elections. Most Republicans (including this one) see all citizens as Americans -- not by race. Democrats prove they can only win by dividing and this is a great example of how their strategy worked (with a little help from the Clinton White House).
Captivating Movie. A must see for all budding politicians.
Movie Review: Great Movie on Campaigns
Summary: 5 Stars
As a prof, I sometimes need a break from lecturing. It's true, I don't always like to hear myself talk. When this happens I like to show a movie about American politics. This is one of the ones, usually a way to cover campaigns and campaign strategy. It does a great job of informing students about what these topics are by showing vibrant examples of both. My only complaint is that the movie is getting a little long in the tooth. Most of my freshmen were born after Iran-Contra, so they just don't bring the knowledge to make this movie great. It's just before their time. If you have nontraditional students, they can help get the others up to speed and make the experience great. Anyway, a great flick for class, and break for the prof. If you need a "younger" movie, try see how they run.Movie Review: Filmmakers given amazing access to campaigns
Summary: 5 Stars
Isn't it interesting how little things have changed: the right kowtowing to the religious, stooping for votes. The pathetic sight of candidates trying to keep fake smiles etched on their faces for fear of showing an ounce of humanity. While the GOP can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned, this fascinating doc doesn't exactly paint Dems as all the better. It shows how desperate people can get to achieve their goals (walking in grocery store aisles pretending to be friendly). You watch this and begin to understand why no one who could truly benefit society won't participate in the electoral process. You have to pander and be a fraud for the most part.Movie Review: Needed the product yesterday......
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered a video from Amazon that I needed for a project the day before! With their 'rush service'......I was very pleased to have received the item the next day! To be honest - I expected the worse - but was pleasantly surprised to have received the service I requested! Package arrived promptly - well packed - and saved the day for me!Movie Review: Excellent but!
Summary: 5 Stars
Everything was great, the only minor problem was the inside of the case arrived damaged. So now the DVD isn't attached to anything while inside the case and it bounces around.
