Day 194 of the challenge! Election is such a bizarre and hilariously smart comedy. Not at all what I expected.
Liked:
I was very surprised by the layers in Election. Great character work, with plenty to break down in regards to Broderick's character and his motivations. There's also some interesting ideas about achieving self-fulfillment and happiness, as well as the social conditioning behind ethics and morality.
Hilarious satire about school politics and their actual relevance to the students.
Surprisingly progressive for it's time.
Didn't like:
- How most of the students in the high-school are obviously played by much older actors. Big thing in the 90s and 2000s.
