"B" is Blue State (2007)
« Reply #4927 on: September 04, 2008, 09:10:57 am »

From IMDb:  On the eve of John Kerry's 2004 defeat, campaign volunteer John Logue, canvasing in Ohio, says he'll move to Canada if Bush wins. His pledge gets televised, so when John returns to San Francisco -- where his old job and girl-friend evaporate -- his friends expect him to deliver on the promise. He gets a call from marryacanadian.org, accepts their invitation to come to Winnipeg, interviews traveling companions, picks Chloe (she with a nose ring), and sets out. Both John and Chloe have secrets, revealed one at a time, and Winnipeg in 2004, with men and women willing to help US ex-pats gain citizenship, may not be what either needs.

"C" is The Candidate (1972)
« Reply #4928 on: September 04, 2008, 11:13:13 am »


Starring Robert Redford, themes of the film include how the political machine corrupts, and the pointlessness of politics. There are also parallels between John F. Kennedy and Redford's character Bill McKay. The film serves mainly to show how a race for a seat in the Senate develops.  The screenplay was written by Jeremy Larner, a speech-writer for Senator Eugene J. McCarthy during McCarthy's campaign for the 1968 Democratic Presidential nomination.
