Great political thriller about manipulation and corporations
The 2004 version of the Manchurian Candidate directed by Jonathan Demme was a great interpretation of the original 1962 film. Both were about political manipulation.<br /><br />The movie focuses upon Congressman Raymond Shaw played by Liev Schreiber who was a war hero from the 1991 Gulf War. His powerful and manipulative mother Eleanor Prentiss Shaw played by Meryl Streep sets up Raymond to be the candidate for the Vice President talking about how his heroism would prepare him perfectly for the threats that the U.S. was facing. Parallel to Shaw is Major Bennet Marco played by Denzel Washington who was Shaw’s commander in the Gulf War. He appears to be suffering from Gulf War syndrome or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He can’t get over his war experience, has constant nightmares about it, and is obsessed with Shaw. It turns out that they had both been manipulated, and both have the same distorted and haunting recollections of what happened to them in the Middle East.<br /><br />Demme does a great job connecting the two main characters. Towards the start of the movie for example, Marco is watching the news about Shaw while he eats soup. Demme then cuts to Shaw in his hotel suite eating soup as well. When the two meet they have a connection which they can’t explain, and even when Marco assaults Shaw, he won’t press charges against him. It’s because they are two sides of the same coin, and their manipulation during the war connections them psychologically.<br /><br />Shaw and his mother also have a dynamic relationship. The movie plays on Freud’s Oedipus complex where the son is both attracted and repulsed by the mother figure. She wants her son to live out her political ambitions. She is domineering and controlling, which drives her son nuts and yet he continues to allow her to run his affairs. There’s a scene where Shaw is dressing and his mother comes in and almost kisses him that again plays with Freud’s ideas.<br /><br />In the end, the movie is about demagogues which was in the original playing upon Senator Shaw as the villain.<br /><br />Overall, a fantastic political thriller.<br />C
