Review of Please Vote for Me (2007) by Walter M — 06 May 2009
[font=Century Gothic]"Please Vote for Me" is a short documentary about a school election. What makes this one special is that for the first time a class monitor is being chosen from three candidates by the students, not the teachers, at the Evergreen Primary School in Wuhan, China.
On the surface, it is like a lot of other school elections with the exception of the talent show. However, it should be mentioned that eight years old is too young to be put under such stress and two of the students ask out.
What keeps them in is their parents who all take an active role for better or worse. Meant as a lesson on the subject of democracy(none of the students know what it is but one of the parents remarks that it is the choosing of one's masters), it is one the students learn too well, especially in how the results are swayed.
