Movie Review: Man vs. Machine
Summary: 5 Stars
This brilliant, unflinching, unforgettable documentary will teach you more about the 2002 Mayoral election in Newark, New Jersey than you ever thought you wanted to know. Six years before Barack Obama's historic Presidential election, 32-year-old Cory Booker took on incumbent Mayor and fellow Democrat, 66-year-old Sharpe James. As Marshall Curry's film shows, it was the political equivalent of taking on the power of the Clinton machine, the "experience" of a John McCain and the say anything attitude of a Sarah Palin. Both candidates are African American. But before election day, Booker has been accused of "pallin' around" with everyone from the Republicans to the KKK If you're into both politics and fair play, STREET FIGHT is a movie that will make your head spin, your pulse quicken and your blood boil. Booker spends much of the movie hitting the streets, knocking on doors and shaking voters' hands. Toward the end of the movie, in an almost-too-good-to-be-true moment, one girl gets excited because she has been touched by Cory Booker. To prove it, she invites the cameraman to smell her hand. "What does he smell like?' she is asked. "He smells like the future," she replies.
