Charlie Said:

Compare the movie "the Candidate" with the 2010 elections. hw help?

We Answered:

Well one central message of the film is that the business of campaigning has overridden the condition of taking office. At the end of the film rather than being ‘triumphant in victory: Bill McKay is only confused’. The weakness is that the spectator does not clearly see the consequences of the campaign. As Scott describes ‘The dilemma for the director was to answer these charges of media power and sound bite manipulation, not simply pointedly to allow campaign guru Lucas to fly off to his next candidate as if going to a sales meeting.’ just after the oft-quoted line from McKay ‘What do I do now?’ Monaco agrees that it is not ‘enough to excuse the film by explaining that it works in a Brechtian way, to ask questions rather than to answer them. Brecht always implied answers.’
It has been reported that upon viewing the film, Dan Quayle came to the conclusion that he was more handsome than Robert Redford, and that he would be well equipped to win a campaign to enter the White House. Ironically, the future vice-president of the United States, perhaps inadvertently, highlights one of the themes of the piece – that no matter the ideology or interests of the candidate, the business of political campaigning is driven by image.
You could say this on you hw and compare it to like a candidate who has earn his popularity by good looks or good name (cus he has a well-knon father). I would go to www.politifact.com to find more about the 2010 election.
