Movie Reviews of The Candidate
Movie Review: History Repeats
Summary: 5 Stars
Since Kennedy and TV, marketing and the press do much to help elect our president. Image, TV presence, and passion (and money) seem to qualify our candidates for high office, as shown in this film. I commend the writers (and actors) for their political saavy in the production of this film. Could we not replace Redford with Obama?
Summary of The Candidate
Michael Ritchie's 1972 drama about a political idealist (Robert Redford) recruited to make a run for the Senate is still engrossing and still a terribly accurate reflection of the contemporary campaign process. In one of his trademark roles as a man haunted by some shadow of inauthenticity (see Downhill Racer, The Natural, The Great Gatsby, Sneakers, and such), Redford is superb as a first-time candidate watching his values and control over his message disappear in the age of TV-friendly prefabrication. Peter Boyle is ideal as his clearheaded campaign manager, Allen Garfield is effectively creepy as a media strategist, and Melvyn Douglas makes a memorable appearance as a retired politico whose endorsement is gold. Highly recommended. The DVD release includes production notes, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, and optional Spanish, French, and English subtitles. --Tom KeoghComedy DVD Video
