An Unreasonable Man

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This is a reverent documentary about Ralph Nader. When the often quoted line of George Bernard Shaw comes up as the introduction to the film, it's safe to say that you're not going to watch an even handed look at Ralph Nader. However, what one does see through the course of the film is an ugly reflection of how powerfully corrupted our two party political system has become thanks to corporate influence.

The movie also spends a fair chunk of time presenting counterarguments against the democratic party for Nader's 2000 election run as "ruining Al Gore's presidency." It also documents the celebrity abandonment from 2000 to the 2004 campaign, making some high profilers (Moore and Sarandon) look wishy washy.

One point made does resonate with me though, "the lesser of two evils" is still evil.
