Four comparisons between the current political situation and movie watched.
1. Humor
a. The movie used humor to
deflect from the serious issues within the campaign itself. The campaign
for the yes vote tried to make ridicule over the ones with the no vote. The
same way Donald Trump is using humor to Ridicule Marco Rubio during debates.
2.
Smear Campaigns
a.
A smear campaign is used in the real
world, at the end of the day, each camp is going to trash talk the other, point
out all of the negatives about their opponent. The whole movie was really about
that type of campaign. Entire groups were being hired to make sure that the
opponent looked bad, in this case the opponent wasn’t a person but more so a
decision.
3.
Two Parties.
a.
There were two parties involved the
yes and the no in the movie, and In the current situation it is the democrat
and the republican campaign.
4.
The “I’m Doing good effect”
a.
I think this is probably the most
effective of all of the comparisons. They asked a lady why she was voting for
yes, and she basically said “Yes” is doing good for her. She is in a good place
in her life, financially stable, she sees a peaceful future, she “doesn’t know”
what injustices people are talking about. The Trump supporters are kind of taking
the same stance. They are wealthy business men with good lives right now, they support
a business man like themselves, and do not want the democratic party to win.
They pretend not to see these issues within society. If they like the stance businessman
Trump is taken, then there is no need for them to acknowledge anything else,
they are doing fine so who cares abut the injustices done to others.
