Our Brand is Crisis

This is a movie about Politics and the people that run the campaigns. Not the staff, but the hired guns who are behind the scenes manipulating the public and the candidates. The movie takes place in Bolivia, but only keep us from trying to guess if they are Democrat or Republican.  It is though a look at what's wrong with us as humans. There is humor and drama. There is action and dialogue.  The non-thinking world won't see this and never know why they like people like Trump, Sanders, or Palin.  They can make us do whatever they want us to do.  WE are so predictable.

One of the best lines in the movie was when Sandra Bullock says, "If voting changed things, they would make it illegal!"

Sandra Bullock and Billy Bob Thornton are great as competing experts.  The dirty tricks were entertaining.

The title?  Our Brand is Crisis is what Ms Bullock introduced to the campaign.  The nation is in crisis and only we can solve the problems!

I give it ***1/2 stars  2015 Movie #49

PS This reminds me of a blog that I once posted called, "Stir it till it stinks"
