The whole film is full of irony, it’s so cool and thought-provoking, and the ending is reversed.

So much money was really spent on the elections, but in the end it may not have spent a penny for the locals. It was just for the show. Why did all the money go?

There is also the horror of the big data era

As long as a confident lie becomes true, it can be believed

Everyone turned it around for money. It was wonderful. The script perfectly satirized the entire system. The whole people went to the next stage. In this era, we really need to fight each other to survive.

Irresistible quotes

  • Gary Zimmer: So you used me.

    Diana Hastings: We used you? You guys only show up here once every four years, and only then 'cause it's a swing state. And then, when it's over, you're gone. But we're still here with all the same problems we had before, just waiting around for you to come back and make the same empty promises as last time. We used the system. You make millions of dollars funneling tens of millions of dollars into this election economy. All we did is take a cut.

    Gary Zimmer: Hmm. Well... I guess I just... I thought that maybe you and I had a little something.

    Diana Hastings: [scoffs] I'm 28. I mean...

    [chuckles]

    Diana Hastings: in what world would this... be okay?

    Gary Zimmer: D.C. and L.A., parts of New York, Miami, maybe Dallas.

    Gary Zimmer: Mm.

    [chuckles]

    Gary Zimmer: Look... it wasn't personal.

    Gary Zimmer: Mm.

    Diana Hastings: It was math.

    Gary Zimmer: Math.

    Diana Hastings: But this system, the way we elect people, it's terrifying. And exhausting. And I think it's driving us all insane.

  • Big Mike: You know what the real problem here is that the media is completely complicit in this sort of thing.

    Little Mike: Oh, I absolutely agree. I mean, it's like Neil Postman said... in entertaining ourselves, news has become entertainment.

    Big Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

    Little Mike: And when that happens... it's gone.

    Big Mike: Yeah.

    Little Mike: [...] It metastasizes, so it... it's growing and... and whatever, so...

    Big Mike: Yeah. Well, it becomes... it's sort of like any sort of autoimmune disorder.

    Little Mike: Yeah.

    Big Mike: It's like... it's like lupus. Know what I mean?

    Little Mike: That's actually a really great metaphor. That's... that's like...

    Big Mike: It's a simile.

    Little Mike: 'Cause you said...

    Big Mike: 'Cause I said... I said it's like.

    Little Mike: [realizes] You said it's like.

    Big Mike: Yeah, right. It's like lupus.
