Please Vote for Me was a eye opening movie. I really liked being able to see our type of government function within another type of government. The Communism was very apparent. The main thing was that the children acted like dictators in order to show what they would be like as class monitor. In China they have the "One Child Policy" this means each family can only have one child. When these children found out that they were in the running for this position and they told their parents; the parents wanted them to win more than they did.
Here in America parents are less involved in their children's lives. They will support and help them, but not to the same capacity as the Chinese parents. These parents were writing speeches for their kids and even bribing the other students for their votes. Also every night they made them practice and practice getting ready for their harsh debates. The Chinese Communism has put a winning drive in these children. They are willing to do anything to win this election. They go around spreading lies and being very mean to each other trying to get the upper hand. I am sure this happens here in America too but I have personally never seen it. I was really surprised that these kids could do this at such a young age.
In the end of this movie Lou Lei won the election. He had been class monitor in the past years and also his parents took the children on a field trip and gave them presents. I believe that this helped his chances of winning and in the end he did emerge victirious. This movie was very good and I really enjoyed watching it.
