"Leyendo. Escribiendo. Vengándose"
Election
Por motivos que ni él mismo entiende, el profesor de un instituto estadounidense decide impedir que su mejor estudiante consiga el anhelado cargo de delegada de los alumnos. Una comedia aparentemente simple, pero que pronto se revela como una compleja y mordaz moraleja sobre la ambición, la corrupción y el deseo en sus niveles más descarnados y mezquinos. Cada escena es una mezcla de humor y amargura que dejan al espectador a medio camino entre la sorpresa y la empatía. No es extraño, pues, que recibiera una candidatura al Óscar al mejor guion original del 2000.

'Election' builds relatively slowly though really does become a fun movie by its conclusion. It's most definitely worth a watch. Matthew Broderick is excellent throughout, as are the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Chris Klein. The films goes to some unexpected places and manages to make it work. And there's a great callback in there too. I will say that I didn't love the internal monologue bits…
This early outing for Reese Witherspoon ("Tracy Flick") sees her desperate to become class President in her high school. Clever, ruthless and determined - she takes on all comers in her quest for success, and woe betide anyone who gets in her way. Happily hapless teacher Matthew Broderick is charged with overseeing the election campaign, and conscious that his front-runner is a bit of a nightmare …
Aside from the comedy and political satire, it's a coming-of-age movie of a teenager and her teacher who goes in the opposite direction. Self-control, which is part of growing up is the main theme. Flick, who seems the essence of self-control, is running for class president and goes bananas in the scene where she pulls down her rival's posters. Luck saves her from paying for that and it looks like…
