The Feed

The Feed was a very interesting documentary that used alot of cross-cutting to make me laugh a few times. For instance, there was a scene of Jerry Brown campaigning very hard and all of a sudden it cut to Bush Sr. simply sitting in his chair waiting for him to go live. This film was more comical than serious in many ways. The movie was basically a "blooper reel" of the politicians. It is good for us Americans to see that politicians aren't these jugernauts that run the country with no real human qualities.

There was one scene within the film that had no politicians in it. There was a city street with rioters for and against Bush Senior's re-election. Through this scene a fight breaks loose and a girl gets pushed to the ground. This ends the fighting quickly with both sides tempered beyond reasoning. This does not have much to do with the presidents, but it does show a real side to the fight for politics.

This film argues that who is the real president and who is the performer. It is hard to tell becuase this film seems to be a big joke around and makes me think that these people are fake, but when analyzing this closer, I realized that these were human qualities and not those of the politician.
