If the world is up to you...

To some extent, much of the machinery and mass production of modern society has made the individual unprecedentedly small. Your every move is extremely insignificant. Because you know, in this ballooning world, you're just one part in five billion so insignificant. And the world's attention is actually very little. You, who have no shocking character, can only continue to endure your humble and ordinary self.

And in "Critical Vote", it sets up such a realistic and seductive scene for us: you can decide the future of America. The importance of the right to vote is truly highlighted. When the vote in your hand will determine the candidate of the next president and will be written into history, do you feel the heavy weight in your hand? About fairness, about humanitarian care, about the future, some distant words seem to gradually let you see a clear face, they begin to make various demands of you, how will you behave?

The best thing about this movie is that the protagonist Bud is a rambunctious, irresponsible guy (of course, he's nice to his daughter). When such an "idiot" got this miraculous vote, the change this vote brought to him was also the most touching. When the naive word "civil rights" has lost its charm, and when we are told every day that "American democracy is false", this movie makes us feel for a moment that this choice is sometimes quite... important , Sometimes, with regard to responsibility, should we also learn to take it?
