    The story itself is complex enough and too concrete. The dream and square film Q makes people have no room for imagination. The rhythm of the whole film is to drag you down and show all kinds of things to prevent you from...

    Frankenheimer successfully fuses realism and a surreal, Freudian undertone in this hybrid of political thriller, satire, sci-fi and film noir that lampoons McCarthyism with dramatic tension and wry...

    The 1962 edition of "The Manchurian Candidate", a political satire and suspense thriller, is an out-of-print product of the anti-communist political trend during the Cold War. Secret agencies of the Soviet Union and China kidnapped American patrolmen and cultivated killers through hypnosis for political assassination. The plot is bizarrely advanced and the atmosphere is created quite in place. The fantasy of communism's intrusion through brain control is similar to that of "The Flower of...

    Is this called making a movie? This is called political propaganda, scumbag! Although the United States failed miserably on the Korean peninsula, it still does not reflect on its own mistakes. It will only go on cursing Zhongsu and depicting us as inhuman monsters. So two years after the film was released, the United States sent troops to Vietnam again, and then suffered an even more shameful failure. America is still so arrogant today, it still lacks...

The Manchurian Candidate quotes

  • Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: No evasions, Mister Secretary, no evasions if you please.

    Secretary of Defense: Evasions? What the hell are you talking about?

    Secretary of Defense: [whispering to Marco] What the hell is this nonsense?

    Marco: [covering the microphones] Mister Secretary, I'm kind of new at this job, but I don't think it's good public relations to speak that way to a US Senator, even if he is an idiot.

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: I am United States Senator John Yerkes Iselin, and I have here a list of two hundred seven persons who are known by the Secretary of Defense as being members of the Communist Party!

    Secretary of Defense: [amid shocked reaction from the crowd] What?

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: Who nevertheless are still shaping the policy of the Defense Department!

    Secretary of Defense: Senator who?

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: I demand an answer, Mister Secretary! There will be no covering up, sir! No covering up!

    Secretary of Defense: How did you get in here in the first place?

  • Mrs. Iselin: [at meal time] I'm sorry, hon'. Would it really make it easier for you if we settled on just one number?

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: Yeah. Just one, real, simple number that'd be easy for me to remember.

    [Mrs. Iselin watches her husband thump a bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup onto his plate]

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: [addressing the Senate] There are exactly 57 card-carrying members of the Communist Party in the Department of Defense at this time!
