Primary Colors 4K 1998

The film has fairly low ratings, partly because we are infinitely far from the American electoral system, partly because the world doesn't really want to see the underside of democracy, how it really works, and partly because of the film's somewhat saccharine tone.

They say that the plot of the film was based on Clinton's 1992 election campaign, and the character does indeed resemble the former governor of Arizona in some ways. The story is told from the perspective of a young black man who, for the first time in his life, has been hired for a leadership position in an election campaign. His candidate is the governor of one of the southern states, Stanton (Travolta), a man who is not evil, a former hippie, but completely unable to keep his dick in his pants. After yet another accusation, he even has to hire a special person to refute all the trash that is being said about him. But, of course, after fending off someone else's smear campaign, the heroes will have to start producing their own.

By the way, I don't think the ending of the film is so hopeless. Judging by his handshake, the black young man turned out to be no better than the rest.

In fact, the film does a good job of showing the daily life of an election campaign headquarters, the atmosphere of life on the road, and working 25 hours a day. That drug that technologists so desperately lack in peaceful life, and how playing politics (and creating politicians) destroys human principles. And then suddenly you wake up and discover that you have suddenly changed the world.
